So still none the wiser

John Guidetti would be an incredible signing

John Guidetti would be an incredible signing

Agreed. He's 6"1' and Ronald Koeman said he can be as good as Ibrahimovic in the future. He's only twenty and scored 20 goals in 23 games for Feyernood
Worth a loan bid IMO

So all you've done is taken the English ones off your 1st list to give us the 2nd list? Not much of a help mate is it?

Andreas Weimann or Ricardo Vaz Te, I'm thinking.

Either would be very good signings.

nice work but you you ignored these points didn't you?

4. He played Championship football last season
5. He was transferred to a team who got promoted last year

I think it would be one of these:
Park Chu-Young
Ryo Miyaichi
Andreas Weimann
Romelu Lukaku
Apostolos Vellios
John Guidetti
Federico Macheda
Xisco
Steve Morison
Simeon Jackson
Jamie Mackie
Hediar Helguson
Noel Hunt
Jason Roberts
Kenwyne Jones
Ji Dong Won
Giovanni dos Santos
Shane Long
Simon Cox
Ricardo Vaz Te

Would be thrilled if it was one of these

Vaz Te its pointing towards, considering the huge striking options they've been signing at ManCity Ham'

Sure someone said he is not english and the club he is coming from is in the "south" and is "east of Arsenal", which means Norwich, West Ham, or Tottenham. Meaning it can only be: -

Ricardo Vaz Te
Frederic Piquionne
Dylan Tombides
Modibo Maiga
Steve Morison

And I don't see the middle 3 above being "Marquee Signings" but the other two could be construed as such.

For the record... I think it may be Steve Morison.

Heskey.

Heard it here first.

hes classed as alien coz hes a beast so not english.

Vaz Te IMO which is worth nothing. Hope I am right...just glad to be reading posts about players and not rebranding.

He played championship football last season???

Steve Morison or Vaz Te I reckon (and hope)

That must of taken ages and too be honest achieved little. But fair dos I apreciate your effort!
