Diego Forlan at The Lodge....

[DaveYid]

Latest ITK suggests he's having his medical with us today.

I was very excited by the prospect of signing him last year, then Jan, but he ain't getting any younger. And would that be it as far as our marquee striker was concerned?
If so maybe it'd be slightly dissappointing considering the names being banded about recently. Throw in Leandro though and these 2 up front would have me very excited about the new season!

Guess we'll be unveiling Forlan any minute now then?!

Been reading over on SC

In response to Forlan Archibald said this

I cant clarify any names other than Levy was abroad yesterday working on a deal
I dont know if it was successful or not and therefore have no further info.....

if you put 2 and 2 together it could be this but i honestly have no names...

SO, this could be true! I would love Forlan personally, think being back in the EPL and Arry can get teh best out of him for a couple seasons.

Same here. At the moment it's as good as UFO sightings.

[DaveYid]

i personally don't believe a thing till POTL has given some obscure hint about it!

Too late for me... when I read this thread I instantly got excited.. but then saw it was in the ITK section lol

im a bit dissapointed that this will be the marquee signing however it's good enough and he'll bang them in for us.

[ToDareIsToDo]

Erm. Blue and yellow ..... His favourite colour and his hair colour! COme on guys, it was so obvious! POTL isn't just spouting cryptic shit seeking attention afterall!!!!

I dont believe a thing once POTL has done that!

i wouldnt mind this signing at all tbh at the price and bearing in mind its often how well a player fits a team rather than latest stats etc. He has a top footballing brain and will really link up well with VDV modric and he also offers at in terms of creating things in and around the box. Could work really well for bale and lennon.

Wouldnt suprise me if he signed suddenly, especially at 7m considering with O'Hara and maybe Wilson sold for around 15m. Not a bad buy at all if you ask me, a real leader.

Wouldn't mind the signing, though it's not exactly the marquee forward we needed - Llorente, Rossi, Drogba. Though in the short term it works.

...that said, was the marquee signing ever announced as a striker?

[Audere est Facere]

better than anything we currently have up front.

Not to my knowledge. We can still hope for Charlie Adam or Joe Cole.

[brainiac]

He is desperate to become a legend over here ...... after leaving Man U and going on a "Hey look at this fergie you knob" run in Europe.

All that is left on his list of conquests is to set the record straight in the Prem. Talk about motivation!

If he does come I can see this being a very good thing for us.

Not the marquee signing but ...if more is to come this is a very decent start. Forlan + 1 other fresh & in form striker would be great.

And someone has translated WTF he means.
