Feels oh so close, doesn't it? Once Simon Stone or anyone from the BBC corroborates, start turning your giddy meter to a full ten. If we do sign him, and we keep him injury-free, he'll break goalscoring records in this team.
And an aside, I couldn't give a f**k what we're paying him. Football jumped on the capitalist helter-skelter long before we had the temerity to show up. You can't be morally aghast at £500k a week and brush off 300k a week as though it's alms collected from the Salvation Army. The hypocrisy is flagrant, it's all obscene and if you don't like capitalist values you should probably stop watching sport altogether because guess what? They are all dominated by money.
Anyway, fingers and everything else crossed, we'll be announcing our Sky Blue Viking forthwith!
