this big name player

[vulture]

So so far the names thrown in are

Nobby S freed by west ham
J J freed by Hull
Grahame Murty from Reading

So many have sources........to be honest cant see us getting any of the above 3 in ...but would love it if we did I tell ya love it

Could it be Takuma? He'd be PERFECT if we're looking to CONQUER the all-important Asian market.

more chance of getting him....then the 3 above

Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite

Quite a big (well, long at least) name there, could be him.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Recent product of Arsenal's youth team (that Liam Brady doesn't seem to rate) Gus Caesar, could be on his way out the Highbury door and has family links to Sussex so may be a serious possible?!?

 

[severnside gull]

Can't see Graham Murty counting as a "household name".

One of the other two? You would love to think so but I'm certain JJ has really hung up his boots and surely Nolberto is still a cut (or two) above this league.


I reckon we are all barking up the wrong tree and it is someone else entirely. There are any number of players whose contracts end at 31st July and who probably know they are going to be released/might be negotiating a new club. Surprise is that no likely suspects have been (reliably) spotted around town

certain posters on here are certain the club have already agreed deals with 2 BIG names to sign on August 1st

That would cost loads to put on the back of a shirt

Are you joking?

Captain of a premiership club last season but wouldn't be a big name signing...

Think you're getting mixed up with Gus Caesar and the famous League cup final in the 80s, the Arse were looking favourites against Luton, Gus came on as a sub and promptly gave away 2 goals. Don't think Gorgeous George ever played him again.

We could always shorten his name to something like Pepe or Rico. Something snappy.

he was so shit...... would rather have gus from eastenders

 

[Da Man Clay]

Why do people even think there WILL be a "big name player"?

Indeed. Have no idea where this obsession with "big name player" has come from.

Or the 4 letter name he already uses, that'd work:

 

[HseagullsH]

If we do have a big name signing to come I really hope that it is a midfielder, preferably an attacking midfielder. Another striker would be handy but Forster and Murray will do the job in this league...

 

[Ice Man]

I've heard from a very reliable source that we are close to signing free agent, Shaun Newton.

Isn't he the one who got Bobby Z (and another West Ham player I can't remember) in trouble with the police over trying to 'sort out' some parking tickets?
