[Albion] Albion sign James Furlong

[AZ Gull]

Albion have secured the signing of 17-year-old left-back James Furlong from Shamrock Rovers. He played for the U-18s at Ipswich Town yesterday.

You heard it here first.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Who?

In the scouts we trust.

 

[Stat Brother]

Can he play left back...







...oh.

That's Bruno's slot covered then

I love AZ's posts.

So many ITK dicks on here, but he just posts FACT.

I hope that when this gets announced by the club, it's greeted by tweets whining "Why can't they have a separate account for the development squad?"

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

We weren't the only club in for James, but we got him by a short distance.

Well, why not? It must be bloody irritating for all those who are only interested in the Albion's women's team.

But....can he play left back?

Overcoming a number of hurdles to do so.

 

[Megazone]

Im sure Potter will put him straight into the starting lineup against Watford.

...oh.

Waited for that stupid reply

 

[GT49er]

Waited for that stupid reply

Did you? Really?


Why?

 

[Baldseagull]

Did we buy him for £125,000, an eighth of a Mil?

Pretty close! (Shamrock Rovers are entitled to a six-figure compensation figure).

 

[SUIYHP]

Hopefully he’ll turn out to be a proper thoroughbred.

I think you missed a joke there - a furlong is an eighth of a mile.

Didn't miss the joke, just took the opportunity to add a bit more useful information (cos that's how I roll).

Fair enough, in fact on a second read I'd say you probably wouldn't have included that exclamation mark if you hadn't got it. Do they use furlongs in American horse racing?
