Special striker?

[Art Vs Science]

Despite having an amazing record for CSKA he is on loan at Brazilian teams, hinting at some sort of homesickness?

But it's just like watching Brazil with The Albion so this is not a problem

...I said my guess was Michael Owen.

and thereby spreading the rumour. maybe i missed something about the targeted player being from the premiership, i thought this was just the NSC wet dream rather than a stated fact.

This is true...guaranteed then

Nowhere did i spread a rumour, the thread asked who we think the special striker is, and putting all we've heard (that he'd guarantee promotion, Is well known, and so on) I said my guess was Michael Owen. I thought we knew they were currently plying their trade at a Premiership side?

But you said you were 'convinced'. What convinced you that we were, at any stage, going to sign Michael Owen?

More likely to be Macheda on loan for 6 months !

He'd be pretty special in our league!

Yeah, there was a pretty lengthy interview with Owen in the Guardian recently. He was saying how he wouldn't entertain playing for a team in the bottom half of the Premiership and would never drop down to the leagues etc. Can't be arsed to find the link but come on, he would never sign for us. Nice to dream though..

Michael Owen coming to the Albion is the most ridiculous thing I have read since it was claimed Robert Pires was joining Crawley!!

Did Eider Gudjonson ever play with Gus at Chelsea (so to speak).

Ok, maybe convinced was the wrong word. I didnt say I was at any point convinced he was going to sign, simply that if i had to guess at who this "special player" was, then that would be my guess, then went on to say that i didnt think it would ever happen.

Not at all. Re-read the thread, asking who we think the "special striker" was. My guess putting all thats been posted on here, heard in the pub and at games and so on, was that the target was Michael Owen. Not in any way spreading a rumour, just my guess at who the player was.

Fair do's, I thought for one moment you'd read something on here and thought it was true!

All we have been told on the countless other threads is that the special one is very special and so will not actually come. Pointless to go further until we think there is a person who may actually be coming here.

 

[Sheebo]

That would be STUNNING. He'd push Brez for the most HANDSOME player title as well.

No way Greer already has that title in the bag

Best looking is Calderon surely?

Not doing our rep any good - a thread about a new striker and we get these HOMO comments

I'm going to put a name into the hat! Freddie Kanoute. Played with Gus at Spurs, 33 years old now and not playing much for Sevilla this season.

What a signing that would be!

Has played 10 games for Sevilla this season and has scored five goals (two of those in Europe). No chance.

Don't be so boring with your realism. It's silly season! Anyway, my mates uncle's pet goat's vet has a mate who's got a cab firm, and apparently one of their rival firms got the call to collect him from Gatwick airport this afternoon.

 

[British Bulldog]

Who will be the special striker who joins us then? Now the winger is apperently in the bag i fully expect another announcement of a 30 goal a season marksman before the week is out.

Any ideas.

When was it mentioned about a special striker signing for us I must have missed it? The only thing I recall seeing was an Argus report with Gus saying he was after a left winger and a striker and if he gets his targets he should have enough money left to sign a special player who can open up defences. I took that to mean an extended loan for LuaLua?!!

I can't see Owen moving south, he will want to continue overseeing his racing yard in Cheshire.
