Conceived why his dad played for Forest, they really are starting to get their own back now.

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Cracking name

 

sign him up

 

yeah his dad played for the scum but hey ho

[foxfanazer]

You think we're gonna fall for that one Pierre?

[STUHILL]

As a 3rd striker I assume, with Daka going. We can't rely on Nacho and Vardy for the whole season. 

Wonder if the deal with Kristiansen going there has helped with a deal. (if true!)

Spoken like someone refusing to believe Nacho is going.

Yes, hook it up to my veins! FIRE UP THE FAX MACHINE RUDDERS.

[StonyFox]

Decent strike rate in the Dutch league, out of favour at bologna, we've just done business with them, gives a different option up much like when we had Ulloa. 

 

And based on all that I'm guessing there's nothing in the rumour.

"THB plays it forward to KDH, KDH plays it wide to AFI, AFI beats the full back and crosses it to JRS, JRS nods it back across and there's SVH!!! GOAL!!!"

And Brentford 

 

 

[SecretPro]

If linked with Brentford then he isn't coming here.

[Haywood_6]

Pretty sad we can't compete with Brentford and Palace anymore

[Spudulike]

So he's fallen out of favour at Bologna but has Premier League clubs wanting him. Sounds like more collecting and stock piling cheap potential, scatter gun style.

More like Bologna cashing in it Bundesliga and Premier League clubs are interested.

If none of our current strikers leave, which seems increasingly possible, we wouldn't have room for him anyway.

[Stadt]

Doesn't profile much like a ball playing forward from his stats. We already have a relatively uninvolved poacher in Vardy.

Not only that, I am deluded enough to believe that he will sign a new contract with us

It's about having options in the squad over a 46 game season. The last three times we've won a league we've had Howard, Wood and Ulloa. None of them were top scorers and only Howard was a regular starter, and if Nacho stays he's first choice, but I'd be happy to have one on the bench.

Southampton recruitment whenever we find a player.

Ah, wait VAR

[WigstonWanderer]

There’s got to be some jokes in this - Sydney van Hooij Donk. Fond reminders of Soyuncu.

I mean that doesn’t conclusively prove that there aren’t any jokes in this?
