Been out the country for the past week, but, oh look, here comes the utterly predictable strategic Premier League Asian signing. Sell a hundred thousand shirts to the Asian premier League market. It's a well-trodden path. If we don't sign this one, we'll doubtless sign another one. And not for any football-related reason. Fair enough, guess the board could probably exerted sufficient pressure on Hughton by saying that this one currently plays in Germany. It's a fair compromise.

It's going to be a long hot summer if this is the attitude we carry.

Or just possibly, this lad might just be GOOD AT FOOTBALL?

Behave! You know as well as I do the reason for this particular signing. And if it falls through, then guess what. we might just uncover another Asian gem as a Plan B.

All* I care about is whether he is a good player. If he can be a good player AND spark a bit of interest in the club, too, that's just a bonus.



*that, and how fit his wife is.

When you say 'fit', do you mean:

- able to do the 100m dash in under 13.5 secs; or

- delightfully attractive.

So... to summarise...

95% are in favour of signing up whatever the bloke's name is, missus

5% think she's not all that

And nobody cares very much about the player. Pure Premier League tokenism tapping into the burgeoning Asian at work? Heaven forbid!

We'd have to sell a lot of shirts to re-coup the 3/4 million his contract would cost providing there is no fee involved.
