New rumour out of East Anglia

Delia Smith is a member of the KKK?

Probably not, but I can assure you that the Portman Road faithful often more than infer that she is a practitioner of the oldest profession..............

 

[Foolg]

All those suggesting Billy Sharp, he is on a season long loan at Forest. When O'Driscoll was in charge he confirmed a couple of times that there is no recall option in place for Southampton half way through the season, so that's a no-go.

 

[BensGrandad]

would this still follow if we offered to buy him outright

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Would seem very logical, Ipswich are signing strikers all over the place, the current crop must be getting shifted on. I wouldn't mind Scotland on loan, if he's crap then we've not lumbered ourselves but he was a very good striker back in the day. Not a Premier League player, but a top end Championship goal scorer. We do NOT need a big lump up front who is going to bully everyone, we need a clever striker who can finish and who can be a genuine goal threat. I don't think Scotland is particularly quick, but he is well built, strong and can finish with both feet. On loan, he would be a fantastic signing.

Err have you seen him play recently he is crap would be the worst signing ever.

Worst signing ever eh? Chris Holroyd, Nathan Elder, Colin Hawkins, Federico Turienzo, Maheta Molango, Robbie Pethick... All strong contenders so far as I am concerned. Jason Scotland? Wouldn't even make a dent. Billy Paynter was far worse.

Latest rumour from East Anglia that I heard was that Catweasels tractor had broken down up by the top orchard.


Also it's very flat in Thetford.

Will keep you all posted

Oo arrrrr

I rated this guy very highly a few seasons ago but I think he's probably had his day. We've had worse, as evidenced by others above.

5ft 8 wide, what a lump...no thanks, he can stay in Suffolk (for the geographically challenged, it neighbours Norfolk).

If your going to take me literally for me yes he would be in that list, still bemused why you think it would be a fantastic loan signing.

Gus was after Scotland before, when he was not pulling up trees and he has done diddly squat since. Hope there is nothing in this, if anyone in that mold was going to come, it would have been McClean, so I doubt Scotland will be coming.

He would have to be utterly awful to get in that list. He wouldn't be as bad as some people are making out but a lot less exotic and a lot less to be expected from him than an Ulloa. I would rather a permanent signing but seriously, who sells a goalscoring striker in january? Come on now, be realistic. The business done in the summer is what really matters and we didn't do it last time.

If you panic on deadline day you buy Craig Davies and he scores 1 goal in 20something games.

 

[Napper]

Lloyd Owusu , Gifton Noel Williams , Bas Savage , Tony Rougier , Trevor Benjamin , Iwelumo

Granted most were at L1 level but point is a player doesnt have to be a world beater to be able to make a difference. As part of a squad then he may chip in with important goals and raise his game for a couple of months.

Most of those players we signed when fighting relegation. We need quality now .

Barndoor Billy is better than him no thanks Gus

I agree we missed out in the summer, personally I think Hoskins is more than capable lets face it if we had just signed him before Newcastle we would all be raving.
