So if we are eyeing this new striker...

Apparently someone very good from Sweden (not Andreas) who has scored lots of goals recently but who will only cost us 1.5mil.

Is this because:

a) Shearer's finished (ref: every newspaper for the last 3 years
b) Cort is finished (ref: rumour going the rounds friends of friends of friends of doctor's cousin's mechanic)
c) He's cheap
d) It's bollocks.

e) We're gonna convert him/Shearer/Cort/Uncle Tom Cobley into a midfielder.
f) We're gonna convert him/Shearer/Cort/Uncle Tom Cobley into a defender.

Swedes are also very lucky according to recent evidence.

First I sure it's d) It's bollocks. Magnus Powell is his name, he used to play for my hometown club Örebro SK. He then went to Helsingborg where he became Swedish Champion but didnt play a very big part in the team. After that he went to Norway and have seemed to developed a lot the last years. Still I cant see what he could do in Newcastle. He's a pretty good goalscorer but I should think Shola is as good or maybe better and there is no reason to sign him when we have Chopra and Offiong knocking on the door.

Apart from our friend Sven here, (although the romantic novelettes 'Girls In bloom' were novel) I would have to say the all of above soft one. ie one is playing shite and the other isn't playin' at all, so thanks we'll take two please. Someone who can play along side Billy the mouth.
