First Wizard 0 Posted December 17, 2004 This is more for the new posters on here.Way, way back in July, I had a vision appear in my legendary balls (Crystal that is!) where I saw Marlon Harewood (not that bloody subject again wiz!) signing for City.I also explained at that time about the vagueness of ''times lines'' and how it was impossible for me to pinpoint a date.Well, have you read the EDP today?.Trust me, ''HE'' will sign. Maybe my cloudy balls, didn''t need repairing after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Raven 276 Posted December 17, 2004 Worthy seems determined to buy the team that spanked us 4-0 at the City Ground two seasons ago...Ward, Louis-Jean, Dawson, Hjelde, Brennan, Williams, Scimeca, Reid, Harewood, Johnson, Huckerby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gentleman Jim 0 Posted December 17, 2004 I am not convinced Wiz, I think Worthy is now refusing to comment on any player so that his target can''t be weasled out of him by trial and error. You may be reading into his words what you want to hear. I M V H OPeter, The one man in that team I would prefer more than six Harewoods , Reid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FatboySlimfast 0 Posted December 17, 2004 Unbelievable really when you think about the team Forest had. Just look at the state of them now. When they reached the play-offs a couple of seasons back i thought they would push on and gain promotion but they look more likely to do a Sheffield Wednesday these days.

ZLF 274 Posted December 17, 2004 I too would much rather have Reid than Harewood, even if the latter was free. However we still have priorities in other position than midfield, eith defence and a goal scorer, opposed to another attacker, being the two key players we have to sign...OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Westminster Canary 0 Posted December 17, 2004 "Apart from your very personal vendetta against me WC (your initials seem appropriate!) just what is your problem in life, chill out and take a stress pill."Heh heh, touched a nerve?!I was merely pointing out what you''d said a few weeks previously...you do seem to change your mind at the drop of a (pointy) hat.Is your "First Rule" anything to do with glass houses and throwing stones? If not, maybe it should be...Anyway, enough with the Wizard teasing - a well-connected Westminster birdie told me this morning we''re interested in taking Malcolm Christie on loan from Middlesborough for the rest of the season...

Campbell 0 Posted December 17, 2004 ''Wizard''s first rule'' is a nothing in my opinion; a complete waste of time. I wont give it away, as 1st Wizard requests, just to say that it''s nothing worth thinking about...unless of course 1st Wizard didn''t explain it very well and there''s more to it...otherwise it''s extremely childish and pointless. Anyway, as for Harewood, if we pay over £1m for him, I''ll be disappointed...he''s never really been prolific, certainly nothing in his history to suggest he''ll be a 10-15 goals a season man for us, which is what we need. Is he really a big enough improvement on McKenzie or Svensson? If the board will allow Nigel to push out, then we should go for Euell, who we should be able to get for a couple of mill (if Charlton are willing to negotiate that is, and I can''t see why they wouldn''t to be honest) A little question for you: Who is the only current Premiership player who has won the: FA Cup, Premier League, Champions League, World Cup and European Championship? The first person with the correct answer wins my respect! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know he can be a right hand full.Plus for a big lad he has great ball control.But you''re right Shropshire, Wigan would want a fortune for him, mind you, but I can''t see him getting into the prem with them!.As for ''them'', don''t worry, they''re not good enough.Sunderland and West Ham, will be the two automatic promoted teams, and the binners will fail again in the play offs, bank on it my friend.

Sit Down, Shut Up! 0 Posted December 17, 2004 Please tell me this is a wind up! I thought the whole idea of the January Transfer window was to add quality to the squad not sign some fat oaf. Ricardo Fuller looked good in the Chumpionship and he is hardly shining at Pompey. IMHO if we signed Harewood we would be a step closer to the Chumpionship. I''d rather sign a foreigner or a Premiership Benchboy than a lower league player.If Harewood becomes our Record Signing then it will be an embarrassment to the club. Why not make Heskey our record signing too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, according to the EDP today, Pardew has just said that he (Harewood) won''t be going anywhere in January!. Oh well, back to the drawing board again I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
