Elliot is one, the other probably isn't as famous

Zenden, Elliot and Lee Hughes.

Ya agree on Elliot and Hughes but not so sure about Zenden. But I hope its him.

Well, judging by the thread title, I guess one of them must be a Johnny Foreigner. DOn't worry - I'm on my way already. No need for the coat or hat.

Kiko's done a come and get me Robson thing, good player.

Has he specifically targeted Newcastle Swift. The reports I saw just suggested he was ready for a move. Seems a genuine player who was willing to drop down a division for Athletico.

Free transfer as well, which will suit our money men.

I've heard Euell and Elliot. High profile signing is a mystery so far.

The concensus here is that in the right team he'd be a star turn. Big, strong, slightly maverick attitude and silky skills. Literally a Spanish Paolo Di Canio. Bob, get him.

If we buy Euell we may as well kiss good bye any pretensions at being a mid table team. Where did you hear this Lynda?

Hey Boodavin, don't bother with the prospect of passing the ball to Totti, pass to Euell...i cringe

Hughes is crap, a waste of money.

I heard on the grapevine. No one 'official ' told me so I suppose it's a rumour like everything else. Hope so!

The thing is - who can we sign who we would all be pleased about, yet would be prepared to come to NUFC?

Coming from york I have herd Darren Barnard from Barnsley is back on the shopping list, but Glass dosen,t want to go to there

Kiko was a good player - several years ago. However, in the season just finished I understand he only played a handful of games for Athletico in the Spanish 2nd Div.
There may, of course, be mitigating circumstances but he looks like another high-salaried loser to me. Frankly, I wouldn't touch him with the proverbial.

The packet must be Des Hamilton, Lee Bradbury and the high-profile star will be Ashley Ward.

not a chance Jussi, none of them played for Wadsworth

Back to York Magpie's point about Darren Barnard. Stephen Glass is not our player to offer to anyone is he? Surely he's out of contract or only a few days away from being out of contract, so we can't expect to use him in any transfer deal.
