Maybe It's Been Roque Santa Cruz All Along?

[White Noise]

Now Bellamy has gone to Cardiff perhaps we can get back to getting Roque santa Cruz in?

We were linked with him quite a bit a week or two ago -

I know he is a different type of player to Bellamy but does anyone think he is worth a loan deal?

...only on a pay per game played basis..!

Looking at his career stats ( from Wikipedia ) it looks like he is past his best and not the regular goal scoring striker that I think we need.

Sorry, the chart has not reproduced as well as it looks on the Wikipedia website.

I think you will find that it is Steven Ireland is the one we are really after, or so I am told.. :015:

[White Noise]

I am willing to bet that the window closes without a single Man City, Blackburn or Welsh player coming to Fulham.

Eidur Gudjohnsen then anyone?

Thats a good shout tbf, and probably not the worst thing that could happen as it means Hughes has some original ideas for who he wants to sign.

Sorry I meant not getting in any Welsh/Man City players rather than Eidur Gudjonsen

[Andy Crysell]

Oh no, not Croque Santa Cruz!  Are they after a sickroom buddy for AJ?  Hopefully The Crock won't pass MAF's legendary medical.

[SmithyFFC]

Nah we'll probably end up signing the £20 million pound flop Jo!
