Naylor said the other day on his Tuesday chat that the special player was not foreign.
I wouldnt class Ljungberg signing as special now, 5 or even 3 years ago yes, but now after 2 years in MLS I would think that he is past it, although there is talk of Beckham joining Spurs on loan so perhaps the standard is better in the MLS than most people think.

I doubt Naylor knows much more than the rest of us!
He's only 33 and from what I've read it sounds like he's been doing well in the MLS. I think he'd definitely be quality in League 1 and the Championship.
Would he?
37 games for Seattle Sounders scored 2 goals
15 games for Chicage Fire scored 2 goals so not prolific for either side and if you consider that we had a player who left us when we hada worse team to join L A Galaxy it doesnt auger well for him. Plus most of his time now is spent modeling, he is obviously wealthy so what motivation would he have.
It won't be him but to say he wouldn't smash up league one is ridiculous.
Funnily enough, having spent a few hours on a coach with a saints fan (long story, but were diverted to Warsaw from Krakow this weekend while on a short break), he seemed to think that Ricky Lambert's off in January. To be fair for a saints fan he was an alright bloke, very complimentary about our side since Poyets taken over. Anyway, in short, they've heard rumours of having £3million to spend in January to ensure they get out of this division, and he seemed to think another striker or two was on the cards with Lambert leaving. Charlie Austin was one name he mentioned.

Talking to a West Ham fan tonight and his view was that we want to hope that we dont sign Ljungberg as he was rubbish for West Ham and has obviously gone over the hill. Which is what I imagined would be the general impression of his ability now.
...but he's guilty of getting people's hopes up again if this is from Gus' mouth. We were going to have the full squad in place by early summer, we didn't. We were expected to make loan signings, including a very special one, again we didn't.
I don't mind Gus shouting his mouth off but you know loads on here are gonna get all arsey when nothing happens.
i think we would do well with that team , its got 12 players
Just regurgitation of what we already know, with the added confirmation that if the 'special signing' becomes available, finance won't be the problem
In summary..
Left sided replacement for Lua Lua (possibly even more significant due to the managerial situation at Newcastle)
Clarification of striking options.
Finance available for 'special signing'
Big push will be made in the second half of the season to ensure promotion to The Championship.
Any loan players will be required to be here until end of season.
