Who do you think will be the first signing!?

[Phil from the upper holte]

Oooh harsh Paul

[ozzjim]

The guy in that picture could still beat anyone over 20 yards. The 2012 version is bulked up and no longer speedy.

I wish we'd had the chance to see Darren Bent and Emile Heskey play up top together. I think it would have worked. I also think Jones & Bent would work.... maybe Holt & Bent too.

Seem to remember Bent and Heskey playing together in a game against Wigan at home.  It was working pretty well until Heskey got fouled from behind, completely lost the plot and had to be taken off.  Also seem to remember N'Zogbia  scoring against us that day.

This about as appropriate as any thread for this, but do we know what's happening with Culverhouse and Karsa?

[Phil from the upper holte]

Just checked, they aint on the coaching staff yet

[Mazrim]

I think they'll both be onboard in July.

[N'ZMAV]

Ryan Snodgrass.

[Concrete John]

The most believeable link so far has been Kyle Naughton, so I'll go with him as first signing.

I'm sure there are.  We just want to look forward,   Are you our old Peter w?

Indeed. Almost like the last two years never happened.

And, I am. Go on ask me anything about The General...local people at games...halal meat...

Good to see you back Pete, glad to see you're still around.

How's the family?

Cheers JD. All good mate. number 2 due in October!!!


Cheers all. Good to be back. Could do with a lick of paint though - oh, and the General's gone? For good. Well, I did say...I'm also losing track with who a lot of people are with all these name changes.



Annnnyyway, back on topic - is there any legs in the Sunday Mirror story of Randy trying to keep a French U-21 left-back the McLeish wanted on Lambert's radar? Apparently  the move was all but signed, sealed, and not quite delivered.

Yakuba......£1 million pound get out clause at Blackburn,had a decent season last year & at the price,cheap as chips!

And he's only on around £20k a week at Blackburn. Definitely an affordable go to bloke on the bench rather than Delfouneso at those prices.

[ozzjim]

Yakubu is a fat, powerful, but painfully lazy version of Darren Bent.

[Concrete John]

May I be the first to invoke the "Well, he'd better than Heskey" mantra?   

[PaulTheVillan]

Holman.

[ozzjim]

Doesn't count.



I reckon it might be a bit of a shocker.... maybe a keeper.

This about as appropriate as any thread for this, but do we know what's happening with Culverhouse and Karsa?

Bit of a stand-off with Norwich over compensation I guess - equally they're holding off getting Hughton's staff from Blose.
