david in sweden

absolutely, I recall the vast amount of preparation when I moved to Sweden many years ago...not least the Taxation Dept. in every country like to know where you are ! ... but even nowadays , a short trip to UK can have its down side. However, the easiest thing ...is booking your flights. Took me 2 minutes on line ... Mr.Lee has much more to organise in his life, I'm sure...and hoping a long line of unpaid bills he may have forgotten about - don't follow him to Britain.

who says they've got any real money ?.......maybe they would offer a player swap!....ANYWAY ...there is no way Ricky would go anywhere right now.

It's fairly obvious that NC has slowly raised the ante... bit-by-bit...until the Celtic Board get an offer... they can't refuse ! An offer of a potential triple salary would brighten Hooper's lifestyle,(and his agent's bank account).. and one which Celtic wouldn't want to have to match ! GH is Adkins' "new Lambert" and to see the two of them plundering defences would be worth the ticket money alone. I guess it's only a matter of time..11 days?.

......and the bit about Orlando boss Adrian Heath..(didn't he score a painful goal that put us out of a FA CUP Semi-Final one year ?) (Heath says) ..He...(Anthony Pulis)..comes from a good pedigree.. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA --woof! woof!

so true. If he hadn't been so badly injured he'd have still been here I'm sure...A real legend. He's the same generation as David Connolly. Born 1976.

(for those of you who never bought a copy of IN THAT NUMBER..you don't know what you missed...) Llewelyn was one of several right backs in the early Merrington Youth sides....and he made 9 RESERVE team apps. in 1986-87. Main problem was, he was also up against Andy Cook, Alan Tankard, Steve Baker ...and Ray Wallace who all made it to the first team, if only briefly. It wasn't Academy in those days), but many lads shon in the youth sides but never made it to the first team which was Div.! ( Prem.) in those days..

Swedes have been hearing /seeing about Zlatan for more than 10 years. First he was " that Yugoslav kid with the attitude " then he moved to Ajax and got some acceptance as a goalscorer - even though he wasn't Swedish - then the big moves to Spain and Italy and suddenly he's in the National side - and has on occasions - scored goals that are straight out the MLT training manual (if there was such a thing)....BUT sadly his club performances have nearly always eclipsed his international ones. He just doesn't play (the Swedish way).....and has been almost invisible in some games. He comes into the (McMenemy quote - Ballarina Class) - IF you feed him enough he'll score some memorable goals - but what do the other 9 outfielders do ? He's won the Swedish "Golden Ball Award " (Footballer of the Year) FIVE times in a row ! Yet, some of Sweden's best results have been in games - without Zlatan ..but who would ignore selecting him when he is available. No-one in Sweden anyway. If you want to see how good he CAN be ..take a look at U-Tube Zlatan Ibrahimovic 2011 TOP 10 GOALS * NEW* .....and try and tell yourself it isn't MLT.

I go along with the basic theory that we need new players , and they need to " gell " (what a stupid word"). However, in our set-up we can still field a strong side for most games, and just because someone has been signed this week / last week doesn't mean he ..HAS TO PLAY... in the next game, on the contrary I think a week or two on the bench, with a subbing in for 20-30 mins. is a better way of introducing new players. SURE..they may have trained together, and said hello in the dressing room, but sitting and watching the team play (from the bench) will give new people a better perspective of how we look when playing as a team, and where HE eventually might fit in. Good to have them signed, no panic to press them into service from Day 1 - we are still top of the league...

I noted that, too..... 3 divisions below CCC, and they still have more away fans than Watford! (still it's sad situation for a club that used to be Division 1 as far back as 1992.)

Lukas Jud.......(Coventry) loan to Middlesboro

.........I thought that Cork had a role as a central defender when he was at Chelsea ..or ?

How does that compare (with today's value) for Shearer's transfer to Blackburn in 1992 (£3.4 mill.?) or even Martin Chivers' £125K to Tottenham in 1967 both these deals were British record transfers ...at the time .

Ah, but does she understand the ..." offside rule " ?

some of you guys are skating on thin ice....making fun of the spouse at home may be OK in your life... but going on line with it ! ...ouch (brave men).

I know Leicester has made an offer to Donnie, but he hasn't signed yet - has he ? Could he still be next week's " mystery signing ? " (Nigel Adkins comment)

If you read the headline again .. it goes without saying ..ALI DIA ......! (the good part was... he disappeared the next day ..never to be seen again!

RUDI SKACEL ..scored a hat-trick for Hearts...when is he going to sign?

This thread seems to have slipped away, but the same topic has been taken up on; expensive business chasinging dreams suggest anyone else continues on that one. MODS can close this if you want .

you're right there CB, but if we do invest that sort of money ..on someone who later on is a success in the Prem....it will look like a steal - don't you think ?

INDEED ! ..bet he won't do that every week, though ...
