[Archived] Nicko's Thread

[nicko]

My next thought was that we'll probably get all excited and nothing whatsoever will come of it.

THERE IS ALWAYS THAT POSSIBLE OUTCOME...BUT I CAN'T FAULT THEM FOR MAKING THIS GUY A TARGET.

[Paul Mellelieu]

Duff?

I CAN'T FAULT THEM FOR MAKING THIS GUY A TARGET

Is it Guido San Andreas - the half Italian half Mexican striker?

[John]

So a striker.....

Without really thinking about it, would have to go for Eidur Gudjohnsen.

[ihateburnley]

but it will depend on the fee, somebody leaving and the player wanting to come.

Really?

That statement could apply to Ronaldo.

Unashamed plug department.

I'm going to name the dream target for January...who, how and why...in the Sunday People.

The chances of pulling it off are greater than I thought at first, but it will depend on the fee, somebody leaving and the player wanting to come.

However it's a live one and very interesting.

No more clues. You never know who's watching.

If it turns out to be huddlestone I will be disappointed.

[eddiewac]

Defoe?

[eddiewac]

Defoe?

ok i dunno what happened there

You won't be disappointed then...

[nicko]

Duff?

The player or the info?

No to the player...and the info's good...

[RevidgeBlue]

Defoe?

ok i dunno what happened there

Jermain Defoe and his previously undiscovered twin? That would certainly cause a stir.

Just checked and was surprised to learn Defoe is 25. He's not an up and coming young prospect any more and theoretically should be at his peak. He certainly needs to move somewhere and make things start happening for himself.

[Ricky]

I think Defoe is a cracking player and certainly wouldnt be dissapointed if we went for him.

However I think it'll be an overseas player.

Also am I the only one who's a little concerned that if it is good info and a genuine target, having it all over the People tomorrow probably wont help us secure the player as other teams could make a move.

[Dingle Basher]

Is he a foreigner?

I don't think that is a problem in this case...

[philipl]

No to the player...and the info's good...

good answer!

[Mozzer]

riquelme?

[nicko]

riquelme?

I wish...but he just signed for Boca Juniors.

[Mozzer]

is there anything on these trialists?? ie have they impressed or anything???

[nicko]

I believe both played in a closed-door game and might be asked back.

But I don't think there is a potential Nelsen and Samba in those two.

Lance Davids is a midfielder, converted to a right back and according to my Swedish mate he is 'average' and may not get a work permit.

Djiba is a midfielder who started well at Metz as a kid but can't get in a side at the bottom of the table.

I don't see either of those making a difference...but I could be wrong.

[rebelmswar]

It must be Defoe, as he is the name you ignore the most and not answer about when posed the question.

[herbergeehh]

Shearer is coming back, isn't he? Benni needs to leave because he wants Mike Newell alongside him?

Are we closing in??

Meanwhile a dozen or so clues later.................. You simply can't resist it can you Alan?

[modes98]

Samba was in Berlin's C team so you can't rule a player out because they can't get into the team.

No Ricky you are not. I think we should make Nicko sign the Official Secrets Act at once.

I'm going to name the dream target for January..

I never thought I'd see rovers in the running to sign Kaka. Fantastic.
