I have never heard of him or seen him play, but a quick look at that Alfreš Finnbogason stats show that he knows where the back of the net is!

Not the biggest though, only six foot.

So do Darren Bent's.

So do Benteke's. Point being that their strike rate is a good first indicator and then you can do more in-depth analysis to see how involved they would be in the style of play we want to use.

Have we actually been linked with Finnbogason or Castaignos?

It is reported on SSN that Middlesborough want Stephen Ireland.
Whatever for?

They will make him wear a fleh coloured turtleneck - and use him as a demo model in school sex education.

Every time someone talks about Finnbogason, I think: 'finger-bang orgasm.'

He must be good.


Do you stay up late at night watching Eurosport just in case he's mentioned?  It's a step up from Live TV's Topless Darts I guess.

No its not!

By Nursey in the Mirror. As hacks go,  think he's more reliable than many, especially in terms of Villa.

I have no idea who they are either but then again on 16th july 2012 I'd never heard of Christian Benteke either.

Would much rather we went back in for the Japanese bloke from Nuremburg when we have more money to play with, we do actually need some goals from central midfield next season.

I think this is the article in question but it's not written by James Nursey.

We had a scout watching Finnbogason in most of the games he played last season.

I get the feeling we will sign 2 forwards if Benteke and Bent go. Would not be surprised to see us go after the lad at Liege who I can't spell but looks like a clone of Benteke and Lukaku. Swansea were in, and looking at him on youtube he looks very similar to Benteke.

Wonder if Club 18-30 are still looking for club reps at this stage of the summer?
