I thought the Lovenkrands deal was all signed and sealed so I'm not holding my breath on this one. Will believe it when I see him in a b/w shirt at SJP. (now who's the pessimist?)

That noise you heard was the hammer being cocked in preparation for blowing off another two toes. -)

You must be referring to "The Toe-less Wonders", Pit Bill?
The Ronnie reckons Meira is in Toon for secret discussions with NUFC Officials, and that that is a clear indication of his desire to play for us, instead of either Udinese or Vicenza who have apparently agreed terms with his Club! Sounds like the Lovenkrands deal in reverse to me.
BTW, the Ronnie also recons Miera isn't a CB as we'd all been lead to believe. Apparently he's a left-sided midfield player, who because of his height has been playing at CB for his club to help out in a injury crisis.

Naughty, naughty Pete!

Actually, I've heard that his older brother, Christobal, has just signed for Partick Thistle and they want to be close together. How sweet!

A really stupid question or two:

If Meira is in the toon for secret negotiations, as reported in the Chronicle, why do we all know about it?

If he is, could we please have somebody other than the person who conducted the secret negotiations with Loverboy handle these talks?

Could we suggest to Bobby that next year he takes his holiday after the major additions to the team are completed?
