Sargent Pepper Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 So these guys seem to be the most strongly linked. Someone has inside info from the Tyson camp and the oracle yessir has come out of hiding to comment positivley on Niculae (plus the alleged sighting of GJ with Invernes manager) and Moteab. Which story has more credibillity and who of these do you think we will end up with? Will we end up with three forwards? Maybe these have been set up as smoke screens and we may be in for someone not yet mentioned or maybe one of the also rans ie: Lita, Phillips, Eastwood etc. Who knows maybe yessir may come on here and tell us if were getting warm.........

Denilson Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'd rather have an international. so Niculae or Moteab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargent Pepper Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'd have all three but i am quite greedy! Not sure about the egyptians style of play but Niculae it would seem would challenge Dele as target man, and Tyson would be the pace we lack. Add to that the strengths Trunds and Brooker provide we would have plenty of "clubs in the golf bag" as GJ would say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamite Red Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Why not all three we certainly could do with a few options (cash permitting) there all different types of striker. I think we will sign the Eyptian lad and Tyson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Ideally, neither of them. I don't know enough about the Egyptian or the Romanian to pass comment and I've already stated I think Tyson would be a big waste of time, money and effort. Besides, I can't see Forest letting him go now Agogo's gone as they'd only have Earnshaw left. Maynard, Lita or Phillips for me would be a real signal of intent.

Bit of pace and good eye for goal! They'r all different styles. will be intresting to see who comes if any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 What is the name for an Egyptian Gypsy? Gypsy was originally a corruption of Egyptian (because people thought that's where they originated from) so you're going round in circles. Anyway, let's cut out the racist name calling thing. I'm not saying you are, but here's plenty of anti gypsy stuff on here that would be considered Neanderthal if we said it about anyone else. Including the Neanderthals - but they're extinct, so they won't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad blit Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 None of the above (although the Egyptian sounds promising) Lita would be the signing I want most. Despite his well documented problems here, I think Johnson can get the best out of him and he has the energy, pace and unpredictability to scare any defence which we havnt had...... since he left!! Plus I think the potential partnership with Trundle really could be special.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Spoke to my Dad today who was speaking to a source he was doing some work for (all i'm prepared to say in terms of source as may have spoken out of turn). He told me that the "money men" are in Egypt sorting a £1.5M deal for an African player and there is some haggling over a 10% sell-on clause but club confident this will be sorted this week. That is more a less word for word; my Dad has no interest really in football; certainly no interest in gossip. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screech Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I agree wth Tin, Lita, Maynard Phillips shows real ambition, I would add Eastwood above them too. The other lot seem to be a gamble, two have not played in England before and one is very injury prone. If we are going to gamble on strikers we could have paid peanuts for Fleetwood, but, that option is no longer available. Not very inspiring, but, it's just rumours at the moment.

Sargent Pepper Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Of course we're forgetting Borja and Tibor Tzisa who seemed nailed on (apparently) as our first signing a couple of weeks ago. What about guys linked from the last window, Riordean and the south american, Pinto was it??? I agree, i think Lita would be what most people would want, but i can't see it as it would blow most if not all of our budget on one player and i don't think Lita would want to come back to a club he has already played for. Only 3 men will really know, Stephen Lansdown, Gary Johnson and Yessir ! And two, maybe even three of them might be out of the country right now.......

How does signing Phillips or Maynard show ambition??? Is maynard provn at this level? Phillips isn't getting any younger even if he did have a good season last year. Emad was a target for Middlesborough last year, he has played at international level, and played in the team that won the African Nations this year! I think it's inspiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haggling with Egyptians? That is brave work. It may be a case of cheshire-reds "Where's me camel man?" by the end of the negotiations. Picture: Emad Moteab has to share his camel with club medical officer Dr Heather Montague Meanwhile the Egyptian press say he has turned us down http://new.filgoal.com/english/News.asp?NewsID=44050 And The Sun (who are always right) were equally sure that he was signing for Middlesborough last year http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport...ticle264796.ece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrebel Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Very doubtful that Niculae will be coming here ; http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_3705505,00.html It always seems that as soon as a rumour of a potential signing for us appears on the site, it can be proved wrong within seconds.Let's just hope that GJ has a long list of targets and we end up with a proven goalscorer.
