What if one of your £5m strikers is a huge fan of ABBA and the other £5m striker goes on a killing spree every time he hears Swedish pop music.

Just imagine.

I heard Fernando and Chiquitita were on their way to Inter and Chelsea respectively

We can't have been only looking at him - just hope plan B is ready to sign immediately. We need players at the start of the window.

Palmeri means Grandad. Make of that what you will.

Has he got a grandson called Ben?

He's a highly respected Italian journalist.

Spoil sport.

Can't understand how after 203 pages we haven't signed him, how many pages will it need for us to sign a South American Flairmeister, 250 !!

He's either already signed or isn't coming IMO. I cannot see us in negotiations against Inter and Bolonga, Wages alone would surely rule that out if there is any truth in this it's already done and has been for some time...

That's that then. To say they've paid $12mil then immediately loaned him out is somewhat frustrating, though, especially as it sounds as though we were close to sealing a deal.

Let's not forget Calderon signing for Southampton.

We all spent time on this thread however let's hope TB and PB have some nice surprises for us in the new year and don't mean a new pie.

 

[Bladders]

Has he singed yet?

Would be a SUPERB signing, but rather unlikely I think.

So after 2k+ posts, OP remains the most succinct and relevant summary of the situation.

End of thread then!!

Steady, steady. Not over until the fat lady signs

Not long to go now, the fat lady is currently putting on her makeup and pulling up her stockings.

interesting they want to lawn him out straight away

Am I the only one that is concerned about spending that sort of money on a player untried in Europe let alone England ? What effect will this have on FFP if he is a flop ? Are there no 'tried and trusted' players that could be tempted with a pot of 10-12 million to spend on transfer/wages ?

If this signing comes off but we fail to make promotion, will we be doomed (to stay in the Championship or worse) for ever ?

Kind of agree if we are spending £10m might as well had a punt for Andre Grey In the summer.

I'm done with lower league strikers, aim higher and with experience

 

[Steve Foster]

With our pitiful record of strikers in terms of purchase price, do people really think we will spend this sort of money on one. Not for one minute! It's not going to happen. Please bounce this post if I am wrong?

So you wouldn't have bothered with Jamie Vardy then?

You mean like Ashley Barnes and Leo Ulloa?
