They don't usually call press conferences for player re-signings. When Brockie signed they held a presser, so hopefully it's the same thing now.


Brockie re-signing for us?

Knowing our luck, this striker will be the 21st century equivalent of Fake George Weah. But seriously - jd has been reduced to complaining that our press statements have been inconsistent and confusing? That's not glass-half-empty, that's glass-is-filled-with-acid-and-covered-in-TB-germs. (And I know, I know - I was wrong once and therefore I lost my right to comment forever.)

Media are invited to a press conference, at which a player announcement will be made, at Westpac Stadium on Friday September 14 at 12.30pm.


It could be to confirm Ifill`s leg has fallen off and he`s out for the season !!

You would hope they wouldnt be as silly as to build up super hype for a negative announcement

Maybe they will announce the new striker as well as the youth players?

Player announcement, hmmm will it be announcing that Pavlovic is re-signing for another 5 years?

Hope the podcast crew is there to get an interview if its the mythical european striker we have been searching for finally.

Working permitting we'll get down.

I'm trying really hard to not get too excited about this, but they don't usually call a press conference for a re-signing, do they?  So this probably is someone new?

Unless it's confirmation of the young'uns getting official places in the first team?


I think you should be used to not getting excited bout 'nix annonucements  by now

Nah, it doesn't have that feel. They wouldnt announce a press conference a day in advance for something like that surely? Especially just after all the talk about a striker.

Allegedly

When was Earnshaw ruled out?

He wasnt exactly - just recently played against Serbia I believe.

Other possibles:

Jason Scotland, Nikola Zigic, Kevin Doyle,

Why Not

Emile Mpenza,  Svetoslav Tordorov,  Robert Mirosavic, Wesley Sonck   ???

I do see Jemal Johnson is listed as being uncontracted. We were interested previously. However seems to be a wide attacker rather than an out and out striker, which we seem to have a few players already.

Scotland getting plenty of game time at Town and unless we have a loan target coming I don't see him going.

Heskey too old for me, so doesn't tick boxes.

How's my driving? - Whine here

Yeah I wasnt sure on Scotlands playing time - thought he was a chance up until the start of the season. 

Whoever it is, has to be of reasonable pedigree for the club to just sign them outright without a trial.

Chris Wood is on his way back to England according to his twitter, so isn't him thankfully. 

Odds are it will be some one that no one has heard of before but for the next 16 or so hours, I'm hoping it is Earnshaw.
