Clue: Bobby would love him to start for us against Chelsea on August 18th. Wouldn't you?.

He scored a number of headed goals during the campaign, a notable achievement for a player of his diminutive stature and a testament to his remarkable eye for goal, bravery in the box and ability to find space even in the most crowded areas. Remarkably two footed and possessing excellent close control, he is also very quick and has a superb footballing brain with his passing and movement off the ball being of the highest standard.

I'm not prepared to drop down to the Nationwide so that Bellamy can reproduce his scoring record for Norwich City. He is seemingly none too sure about being prepared to repeat the job with Coventry now he's helped them back down to that level either :-(

Don't buy this "Rivaldo would have looked crap at Coventry last season" either: Robbie Keane looked class there and has looked ordinary at Inter and Leeds.

Eidur Gudjohnsen by any chance - WB?
Too good for us surely? We have now become a receptacle for those classed as not good enough for the really ambitious PL Clubs.

The Sunday Times says that Inter Milan are asking "everyone" to take Ronaldo on loan. Something to think about?

Izzet? He might be on the move, but prob to Celtic. Good player, if he was available I'd snap him up.

Saw that bit on Ronaldo and was going to mention it if no one else had. Ya beat me to it, SMB :-)

I wonder just how bad his injuries are, and if he could do a job for us on loan? It could be a cheaper throw of the dice than some of the signing being mooted. And it would sell more tickets.
