Astori. Ha! Got in there first!

 

Nainggolan.

 

Carlos Fierro.

 

Lamela

 

Mangala. Shoot me, I can dream.

 

Kevin Phillips.

 

Matt Holland

 

Jermaine Lens

 

I have a secret formula for determining transfer targets:

1. Go to Wikipedia.
2. Click the 'random article' button.
3. Repeat until you get a football-related one; as seemingly 10% of all Wikipedia articles concern football, this won't take long.
4. Result: we are signing Spanish fifth division club Verin CF. You will be pleased to note that they have erotic calendars available.

 

I used to do this to pass the time in IT. First person to get a player currently playing in the top 4 English football divisions wins - I once won with Julian Joachim.

 

Darío Alberto Gigena - 35 year old Argentinian striker. 110 goals in 401 appearances.

 

Michael Gspurning - Keeper for Seattle Sounders, described as a 'Jokester' by former teammate Brian Meredith.

 

I got Danilo Aparecido da Silva, Brazilian Right Back, no idea who he is, but I think we should do one lucky dip signing like this a year.

 

I got Walter Gargano.

Done deal already.

 

Demba Ba

 

I got Ibrahima Cissé of Standard Liege.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohamed_Berrabeh

At least he's the right age and an International.

 

Well that didn't take long, first attempt: Dmitry Novitsky of FC Volochanin-Ratmir Vyshny Volochyok; I wonder what their fans chant??

 

I got Danny Fox on my fourth go, no bullshit!
