    Could you actually imagine Zlatan, with Holebas, Deeney and Capoue and being coached by Big Nige.
    We’d be the biggest sh*t-housing team the PL has ever seen.

    I've got a feeling we will be making a move for Kelechi Iheanacho. I believe he was one of Shakespeares signings for Leicester.
    Maybe he's played his last game for the foxes after his bollox against Norwich.
    Would be a Nigerian dreamteam up top with Success o_Oo_O

    As you say, pure fantasy, but one that reads well.

    If it happened I would buy a shirt with his name on it and provide proof, and I am generally of the opinion that any adult male who buys a shirt with a player's name on it is a simpleton and quite possibly mentally disturbed.

    My sources say this is going ahead. I just have the press ‘advance’ to sim a few more days and I’ll see if he accepts my offer.

    Leventhall will have the inside scoop, all you need to do is sell your soul to The Athletic and sacrifice your first born to find out more.

    Even if we did sign him, never happening, but if we did, it doesn’t matter because he would get injured in his first game and be out for the season.

    Options 1 and 2 are the same thing, so that improves our chances of getting him I'd say.

    At last, these are exactly the sort of fantasy land made up nonsense rumours that will never come true we should be getting circulated about us. Finally some ambition.

    Can't wait to see him sitting on the bench while Gray gets game time instead.

    Reminds me of the Del Piero and Inzaghi rumors in the earliest days of Pozzo ownership. Ended up with Steve Leo Beleck.

    I expect similar to happen here.

    I’m sure Zlatan, one of the greatest strikers of the modern era has had a long standing ambition to be managed by Nigel Pearson.

    Big Stevey B is in a rich vein of form, having banged in 2 in 15 appearances over at FC Rieti (Serie C) - there could be something in this imo.

    However, as always, you will have to read a 30 mins article to find the answer.

    Update: he didn’t give me an answer as such, he just laughed so hard he lost consciousness.

    Ended up joining Everton who finished 2nd while we were relegated with 12 points. A sad end to not very nice story that nobody enjoyed.

    According to transfermarkt, "similar players" to Beleck include:

    - Christ Mbondi, of FC San Pedro
    - Christian Toko Edimo, of US Marseille Endoume
    and Emmanuel Mbongo, currently without a club

    so we can expect Mbongo to be signing next week, you heard it here first.

    Sounds like he's joining Milan. Hopefully that takes up all their budget allowing us to pinch Todibo.
