Somebody we've never heard of.

Using a complex formula based on precedent and the law of probability, I’ve narrowed down our likely striking targets.

The main factors have been:

1 The surname will end in an O. The list of striking disappointments we’ve signed in recent years all did – Molango, Turienzo etc. And even when it worked – converting Virgo into a centre forward – there was an O at the end of things.

2 The first name will have a whiff of royalty or papacy about it. Albert. Sebastien. Leon. Alexander. Whether a crown prince, Royal Consort or Pope, these are the kind of names we go for. You just don’t get Waynes, Steves, Dereks or Chesneys at the Albion.

3 They will be lightweight, unlikely to ever grow over 5 foot 6 and touted as “one for the future”. See Leon, Jake etc.

4 There will be a sell-on clause from the club we buy them from. We’ll get royally shafted on this. We’ll then attempt to claw something back by putting our own sell-on clause on for the future. We’ll get royally shafted on this too.

5 They’ll be foreign innit (Molango, Turienzo etc), even if mainly just to spite Ernest and his ARS.

Following these principles, I have come up with the following hot tips:

1 Andrew Cogliano

Here’s why:
He’s a forward.
His surname ends with an O.
His first name matches a current Prince.
He’s small and “one for the future”. (Seeing as he’ll play for Team Canada at the 2006 World Junior Ice Hockey championships, he must be.)
There’ll probably be a sell-on clause from the Edmonton Oilers.
He’s foreign.

2 Miao Miao

Here’s why:
She’s an attacking player.
Her surname ends in O.
Her first name sounds a bit like Chairman Mao, which is kind of like royalty. I guess.
She’s small (being ethnically Chinese and all) and, at a rising 88 in the world rankings, “one for the future”.
There’ll probably be a sell-on clause from Australian Table Tennis Foundation.
She’s foreign.

3 Takeshi Kaneshiro

Here’s why:
He’s a “hitman”! Just what we need! (OK, he’s only playing a hitman, in a movie, but still…)
His surname ends in O.
There’s probably been some Emperor Takeshi at some point. And isn’t there some crap game show called Takeshi’s Castle on satellite telly? A castle’s got to be sort of royal, hasn’t it? So that ‘first name test’ is fine.
He’s small (being ethnically Japanese and all). And arguably one for the future, as he’s still in B-Moives and yet to get a big break.
There’ll probably be a sell-on clause as his agent will want a cut.
He’s foreign.

Expect to see any of all of these names on the Argus back page VERY soon.

How would Fox Mulder know?

f**k we don't

 

[B.W.]

Christ - everytime there is a transfer window we seen to end up getting disappointed and we never seem to sign anybody until the 11th hour

What I want to know is whether the target of four players that was announed a few days ago, was the target BEFORE the club knew they had to act as a witness for the judical review - or whether they already knew about the £90/100,000 legal bill and budgeted for that as well as the four players. If they didn't I take it that's their way of saying 'sorry folks it's not four players anymore but we MIGHT get one or two for tuppance ha'penny and a bag of nuts'??

Question for the Insider, perhaps?...

From BBC sport:
Glenavon striker Shea Campbell is set to exit the club,Campbell joined the Lurgan Blues in August but boss Jim Brown has made the player available to other clubs. Brown said he is prepared to let former Linfield and Ballymena forward Campbell leave in order to bring new players into his squad.

Leon Knighto, he's got a good scoring rate for Swansea, apparantly.

 

[Ernest]

I know one thing if he is ENGLISH he will not be TRIED and TESTED and either a HASBEEN or NEVER WILL be.
Let's face it if Magoo signed Alan Shearer he'd play him at left back

 

[BensGrandad]

Arthur Scargill from Barnsley.

We need a left back. Sign Shearer please Mr Magoo.

 

[BensGrandad]

I though MM said he was British so perhaps its another David Cameron or similar from the Highlands League.

takeshi's castle is AMAZING

 

[BHA Jordan]

Seeing as we're so strapped has anyone thought that the English striker could be Magoo coming out of retirement?

And before anyone says it, I know he's Scottish, but Scotland is England's biggest county

It wouldn't surprise me you know

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

doesn't greater london have more people than scotland?

even if it doesn't, you are still factually wrong, therefore not funny
