Lumsdon on Gunn''s list?

Norwich City could be set to swoop for former Carlisle midfielder Chris Lumsdon - and nick him from under the nose of Darlington.

The 29-year-old is a free agent after being released by the Cumbrian side and was all set to sign for the Quakers.

However, the club''s administration has reportedly held up contracts being put on the table for some of manager Colin Todd''s targets.

Former Sunderland and Barnsley man Lumsdon played in Darlington''s 7-2 pre-season home defeat to Newcastle United on Saturday, where he was said to be watched by scouts from City, their League One rivals Swindon, as well as Notts County.

He may be a bargain, an unfinished diamond. Who knows?

But the pattern of our summer recruitment appears worryingly unambitious.

But, good luck Team Gunn.

At least there is recruitment going on, but this is a phrase I never thought I''d see:Norwich City could be set to swoop for former

Carlisle midfielder Chris Lumsdon - and nick him from under the nose of

Darlington.

Damn, foiled by the filter,so I''ll just have to do it longhand:

Like a Night Club in the morning, you’re the bitter end.
Like a recently disinfected shit-house, you’re clean round the bend.
You give me the horrors
too bad to be true
All of my tomorrow’s
are lousy coz of you.

You put the Shat in Shatter
Put the Pain in Spain
Your germs are splattered about
Your face is just a stain

You’re certainly no raver, commonly known as a drag.
Do us all a favour, here... wear this polythene bag.

You’re like a dose of scabies,
I’ve got you under my skin.
You make life a fairy tale... Grimm!

People mention murder, the moment you arrive.
I’d consider killing you if I thought you were alive.
You’ve got this slippery quality,
it makes me think of phlegm,
and a dual personality
I hate both of them.

Your bad breath, vamps disease, destruction, and decay.
Please, please, please, please, take yourself away.
Like a death a birthday party,
you ruin all the fun.
Like a sucked and spat our smartie,
you’re no use to anyone.
Like the shadow of the guillotine
on a dead consumptive’s face.
Speaking as an outsider,
what do you think of the human race

You went to a progressive psychiatrist.
He recommended suicide...
before scratching your bad name off his list,
and pointing the way outside.

You hear laughter breaking through, it makes you want to fart.
You’re heading for a breakdown,
better pull yourself apart.

Your dirty name gets passed about when something goes amiss.
Your attitudes are platitudes,
just make me wanna piss.

What kind of creature bore you
Was is some kind of bat
They can’t find a good word for you,
but I can...
TWAT.

If he''s unfinished however at 29... he could be finally be the finished article by the time he reaches 50?

I''m not sure if it''s fair to say that the signings so far are unambitious. Realistically, we are going to struggle to get players from the top two divisions to come down to League One.

Imo the players who have knowledge and experience of League One could be very valuable to us next season.

It''s also much more of a rough and tumble league than the Championship, and, I think we need to have a much bigger squad than we currently have if we are going to be competitive for the whole of the season.

[Old Shuck 188]

David Williams anyone?

£40''000, Bristol Rovers, and over 30 when we signed him. No-one had heard of him.

One of the best players to have played for us in the last 25 years or so.

These little gems are out there, we are at least looking...in anycase, with Lumsden, hasn''t he already signed for Darlington?

All the signings so far have been real signings, real city players. Not a loaner in sight and long may it stay so, that is unless our new chairman has his way.
