If he was not "on holiday" he'd be in Turkey, so we'd go there to sign him up. If he is "on holiday" he may have come to the UK (family in Scotland) or he may be anywhere else, either way we'd go there to sign a £2m contract. Wouldn't you?
Hutch, when you say you mate says "the press haven't got a clue", does he mean the press haven't got a clue that we've signed a striker, or does he mean the striker hasn't until now been mentioned or linked in the press?
I've said a few times Bruce tends to pluck a signing from nowhere a la Quinn. He can keep em quiet when he wants to.
Off topic but here Strov, I see you often comment about this particular persons views on this particular subject, thought you maybe interested The boy is desperate to cheat the system.
Could it be Carlton Cole? Daily Mail reporting we are interested and i think it would be a good signing on a FAT providing wages are low. Similar option to Elmander both playing style and wages, however Cole doesn't command a fee.
How can anyone slate Carlton Cole as a signing? Great signing if true - bags of experience at this level, which is EXACTLY what we need. Some ****ers would moan if we signed Neymar FFS. He has almost a 1 in 4 ratio and has represented England at almost every level. What is there not to like about it if he is to join?
Hutch said it was a striker we havn't previously been linked with. Sure we were mentioned as being interested in Cole a couple of weeks back.
He said the press have no clue. That does not mean a name we have never been linked with. More a name that isn't currently being reported in the media.
No chance, even if his wages were reasonable for us. Arsenal were after him last summer, expect someone like that to get him
Matty Fryatts boots were modelled on/designed specially for him. He could teach Matty how to use them better.
Carlton cole free transfer darren bent 6-7 mill would be a great forward line with aluko playing off them and only half the transfer budget gone
