Interesting to see Robson-Kanu linked that's 2  players?  I think this is unfounded and pure rumour we would want to but either player. Kanu even for experienced role is pushing on and Barry Robson would add steal in midfield but both best playing days are behind them. Now interestingly there's a chap called Robson-Kanu of reading would be a better signing and looked one of more useful players along with Alex Pearce and hope speculation to sign them have more substance. 
What the ...?

If he isn't we all might as well give up and find something better to do.

Hasn't Barry Robson just signed for his hometown club Aberdeen? I admit that after his incredible displays for Boro, Sheffield United and whichever MLS club he played for in between I am gutted we didn't snap him up. That will be Randy not prepared to match the wages Aberdeen can offer. I will admit I don't know much about Pearce at Reading, but it would seem as a centre half he has refused a new contract and Liverpool and Newcastle are interested so he may be one to consider. Relatively young as well, I think.

Pearce is a funny one: I don't remember much being said about him last season but now we're into the silly season everyone is touting him for greatness.

Could someone post an unsubstantiated rumour about who we are going to buy. It doesn't need to be grounded in fact, just make one up. I need something to talk about in the pub tonight.

I have just looked up 'Robson-Kanu' in The Meaning Of Liff and it is a dance in a nightclub that resembles an African goal celebration but culminates in you getting your plonker out in front of a woman.
