He's been at the ground all afternoon, how long does it take to sign a contract and take a few photos?

That's as maybe but until someone sees him in Morrisons I wont be counting any chickens.

No, In this divison you need 4 good strikers to get you out of the league. We have that in Waghorn, Howard, Vassell And now Yakubu.

Look at Cardiff they have Bothroyd, Bellamy, Chopra and Keogh.

This is as much a test for the club as whether we can sign a big name or not... Can we keep 4 people happy when only 2 can play?

Howard seems happy enough and Waggy looks to be happy so far - I'm sure we'd have heard a murmur of discontent if he wasn't, whether he'd be happy in the summer is a different matter

We also need 4 good CB which we've now got in Samba, Hobbs and Vitor & Mee

We're ok at RB with Naughton & Neilson, but we're short on the left with only Berner

So we are building the squad we need and on the face of it everyone seems happy, except for maybe Berner

Why would he be counting chickens in Morrisons?

He already bought his rice and peas yesterday :ph34r:

Even if he was on some sort of poultry stock check - what sort of man has a dinner comprising of chicken, rice and peas?

Someone from the Caribbean. You know what BlueBrett's like. Nigerian, Caribbean, it's all the same to him.

There's a Jamaican takeaway near me called RICE AND PEAS (the capitals are very important). Useless fact of the day, unless you happen to be in Camden Town and want some Jamaican food.

A store owner was tacking a sign above his door that read "Puppies For Sale."

Signs like that have a way of attracting small children, and sure enough, a little boy appeared under the store owner's sign. "How much are you going to sell the puppies for?" he asked.

The store owner replied, "Anywhere from $30 to $50."

The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change. "I have $2.37," he said. "Can I please look at them?"

The store owner smiled and whistled and out of the kennel came Lady, who ran down the aisle of his store followed by five teeny, tiny balls of fur.

One puppy was lagging considerably behind. Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging, limping puppy and said, "What's wrong with that little dog?"

The store owner explained that the veterinarian had examined the little puppy and had discovered it didn't have a hip socket. It would always limp. It would always be lame.

The little boy became excited. "That is the puppy that I want to buy."

The store owner said, "No, you don't want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I'll just give him to you."

The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the store owner's eyes, pointing his finger, and said, "I don't want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I'll pay full price. In fact, I'll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for."

The store owner countered, "You really don't want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run and jump and play with you like the other puppies."

To his surprise, the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace. He looked up at the store owner and softly replied, "Well, I don't run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands!"

:sge: We ALL need someone who Understands!.

I can't believe I wasted a minute of my life reading this, I was at least expecting someone somewhere to die...

Anybody else worried?

I am half expecting to wake up and read in the Merc tomorrow that a man from Leicester known by some as Ibbosuk has shot 10 people and then blown his own brains out :(

Posted

I'm more worried about ibbosuk's mental health than Yakubu, to be honest.

FAILED MEDICAL :crylaugh:

Sorry gotcha again,

That's enough now - I apologise to you

Now can we get on with his friggin signature please, I did a full ruptue of my achilles 6 months ago - I'll never be the same on the pitch again, I just hope the Yak can run, signs are there maybe a bit of an issue with his speed, hope not just sign him up !

To be honest Waghorn looks far from happy to me .... out of sorts out of confidence and out of the team

Funny that as I have just seen Yukbu, in Morrisons, counting the chickens they had on display. If you had been counting your chickens as sometimes you like to do, you would have seen him too :thumbup:

Enough about Yukbu, have you seen Yakubu? :unsure:

Yes, he ran off with my Dictionary!

(best response I can come up with to save face, I know Yakubu would not be in the dictionary)

:thumbsup: :D
