15 May 2007

"Striker is a priority" runs the back of the Tellywag, with Lord Buckley reckoning he needs another player to partner Lumpaldinho ("he has his failings and he knows that himself...but also has some really good assets that I think we need at the club") "or" Danny North next season. This new player will give Andy Taylor, like a Polaroid picture, time to develop a bit, rather than be the North-Lump's deputy dawg. Going by the list of players Buckers contemplates one player whose name has already faded out of his Lordship's team photo for next season is Isaiaiaiah Rankin.

Good news for Town fans is the level of player Buckers is looking for: "I am not talking about just a bit better than what we have but someone of a real high calibre that will get us goals. The problem is the level I am looking at is the sort of player that would probably be at Championship level." A bit like Martin Paterson of Championship level Stoke City? Buckers has mentioned the possibility, albeit fleetingly, to Tony Pulis. Already you can hear the sighs of fans thinking we should be having reserves and rejects from the highest level. Others will think this means Buckley will fail to come up trumps, turning to Rankin to forge a partnership with Lump next term. The rest of us will have been to a fews games last season, and be happy at merely the thought of that little scamp returning to terrorise opposition defences. Just picture that.
