What happened to the Heskey rumours?

The rumours about Emile Heskey seem to have died down but with the signing of Nugent I think we need a big target man more than ever and Heskey would be a great signing.
Sven has bought well and covered the defence and midfield but we really need to get a couple of forwards in too.
If we also got Wayne Routledge, that would be an awesome front 3 and I'd definitely put money on us winning the league!

UTF!

Greening and Boeteng - quality players stretea - with these players can see Florist making the bottom 3.

Jealousy is an awful thing strettea, maybe Florist should wear a Green kit this season.

Much as I like Emile and will always have a soft spot for him having seen his career from schoolboy to world class I dont see him as a 20 goal a season target man

Heskey didn't want to drop into the Championship - He's still a legend for what he did when we had our money troubles though

I agree with Glynnak that he's not a 20 goal a season player but he can cause loads of problems and he'd no doubt have 2 defenders on him leaving Nugent and Routledge (hopefully) free to score goals.
I don't think Howard will have much impact this season so getting a different big man up front would give us more options.

I see we have the one star wonder back - Last time when I proved it was Neo with his dodgy accounts it stopped - I wonder if he's back or have we acquired another

I am a newbie actually. Always read the posts so thought I'd chip in for a change

i thought thingy reds comment was quite funny.

Heskey will sign for us he's just hoping another Prem club will come in for him.

Part of the rumour was that 'Bruno' is still looking to earn £60K a week. Now, I reckon that he's terribly underrated by people who simply don't understand the role that he plays, and he might still be worth that to a Premiership club or one it the other top European leagues. But I don't think a Championship team can commit that much of its salary budget to one player. Our owners may be rich, but Sven's budgets will not be limitless.
