The Special One is .......Nathan Ellington?

[Psychobilly freakout]

I am struggling to see how this can be true. Other than a very recent international that has quickly fallen from grace and Owen is the only name that cones to mind, or perhaps Heskey. I think Keane is just plain crazy and just can't happen

Please not Heskey, Oh god you have jinxed us aint ya........... Oh please No

 

[BensGrandad]

Would an up and coming star of the future not come in to this category or somebody from Man Utd or similar reserves who is young and highly rated..

 

[Father Jack]

ok special player is, after scanning the thread a Premiership forward, sooo i reckon its one of Benjani, James McFadden, Leon Best, Bebe, Frazer Campbell, Ishmael Miller or Giovanni Dos Santos on loan. All of the above are not getting anywhere near the game time they are used to. Further to that some are on the road to recovery from injuries and in need of games and some are considered to be adapting to the English game ala Arismendi

Funny what Mr burns said about a supporter paying for it . I heard something months ago in my local pub . He is not a fan and is known in the village as Jamie bullshit . He said a supporter was gonna pay to get a player in.

He said it was heskey . I obviously thought he was barking mad . Still think he is to be honest

What's Gazza doing now?

Hang on why am i worrying, Gus likes to play the ball to feet not hoof it up to a big lump................. panic over no heskey.

 

[Ernest]

Heskey hardly likely to be the goalscorer we need

It wont break our wage struture. It's being paid by a supporter. But it wont happen........

it doesnt matter who pays for it. the idea of the wage structure is in part there for dressing room harmony and, according to some tabloid mythology, contractural reasons. if billy big boots comes in on three time the others wages, paid for by club budget, Bloom's personal pocket or anothers, its broken. seems to me you rumour is too outlandish for even you or the source to believe.

 

[Simon Morgan]

If some people think that for us a 29 year old ex premiership striker who has averaged almost a goal every two games at three of his clubs and gone for a total of £7.6m is not special, some people need a major reality check.

Francis Jeffers? Oh yeah wait, "special".

This reminds me of when Chris Catlin tried to tempt Kevin Keegan into one last season with us, it didn't happen although I am led to believe Keegan seriously considered it.

The equivalent today would be David Beckham. I can see Posh on the South Coast. Not a goalscorer though.

Bozza's stumping up the NSC sponsorship money?

Neither is her husband to be fair ....

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

This is pure specualtion and 99% won't happen but....

According to the press here, Tuncay is definately leaving Stoke when his contract is up in the summer, almost certainly to return to Turkey. Stoke stupidly won't play him regularly and have put a 10m price tag on him and won't accept a penny less. Again, according to press..... he is now looking for an end of season loan move outside the premieship as Stoke won't let him go to a Premiership team.

Well...?

 

[Icy Gull]

Heskey would tear this division up, cannot believe people are saying they wouldn't want him.

Exactly what I was thinking, Icy. No doubt he would score goals and plenty of them.

 

[FamilyGuy]

Oh god Noooooooooo not heskey please

What he said!

 

[The French Mistress]

Diego Forlan.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

It's Michael Owen.

My sauce/saws/saurce/sarse/source is the goal scoring machine himself. Here's a recent interview where he implicitly states he wants to join us. you just need to read between the lines slightly creatively...
