t choi Exactly. I think most of us have been wondering why he was our first choice. Turns out we weren't even in for him. His Dad said he was interested in us, Bruce said he was a good player, Bruce/Mo'N have never said we've even inquired bout him. My money is on someone from somewhere slightly closer.
I hope you get FC and not us. I honestly don't want him. He wont help us to get up, but he could help you. We have enough of his type at the club. With Bellamy, Mason, Velikonja covering that role, we have more need of an Austin type of front man. I can't understand why we didn't go for Woods before Leicester got him for what was really a song. Campbell would be a better fit for you rather than us and could add the goals you need to maintain an auto spot. I must agree with old bullshit there - Bothroyd would not be a good idea. He spent more time on his arse complaining about being fouled when he was with us than he did with the ball. Great talent but seriously flawed temperament. Not sure who you've taken so far this window but we've had absolutely nothing to talk about except speculation. The silence from our club is deafening.
Still think if we can get Becchio, Stockdale and a quick return of Elmo then we are still in for top two automatic.
I tend to agree, it was just drifting on to long for there to have been any serious interest in him, SB does have a knack of pulling a surprise out of the hat, as he did with Quinn.
