Rumour has it.............

[Armchair Wanderer]

In the pre-match for Brum did I imagine NL saying Trotter was playing with the U21's to get fitness?

Your point being?

Sorry, didn't realise he was injured.

Haha, I was thinking he may have been unfit in the pie-eating sense. If that was the case of course he should definitely be running around with the U21's a long time ago Anyway, thought it was a great pre-match... all 10 minutes of it!

I'd like to say Trotter will be a wonderful addition to the U21's. Although I'm not sure they deserve him. Our loss is the U21's gain.

Lennon tried to get Trotter for Celtic

[Worthy4England]

So he said. If he can get him to be an average Championship footballer I think it'll be on the plan after the stages called "feed 5,000", "turn water into wine" and "rise from the dead".

The names he mentioned. On that list have a ring of "Could've been a contender" about them.

New guy and new rumours

The club are also after rebuilding bridges with the community

Complete made up, lazy journalism.

Me either but thought as it was a rumour I would post.

This was Will at his most unprincipled - the editor of the Mail said this in total confidence to his deputy. Harrumph!

This rumour looks more solid (and sensible):

Hooper's record with Scunthorpe (at Championship level) is worth noting: 35 League games 19 goals.

Except that he joined Norwich, from Celtic as a Premiership club and while he may not be on the giant wages of some he'll still be beyond ours.

Worth a try I suppose but I'm surprised Norwich aren't using him.

Iles has tweeted that he's heard from within the club that the Hopper story is true. Wanting him and getting him are quite different things though. I can't imagine why Norwich would want to let him go (especially to promotion rivals)

I don't think we should be that surprised if Lennony does bring a couple of his old muckers in - and I wouldn't be that surprised if it turns out that we have promised him a little bit of leeway (not Megson or Coyleesque!) in the transfer market...

He'll still have to wheel and deal (hence loan-talk) - but I'm also hoping that he has some "pull"...

Anthony Stokes is the other one whose name is being linked...

his stats make interesting reading...

in England:

0 goals in 12 appearances for Sheff Utd
1 goal in 13 appearances for Crystal Palace (don't worry - it was pre-Dougie!)

in Scotlanceistershire:

14 goals in 16 appearances for Falkirk
22 goals in 40 appearances for Hibs
55 goals in 121 appearances for Celtic

hmmm.....
