Well I'd have said he might be SPECIAL if Gus said he's a special player.
Btw, why do you think the manager's telling porkies?

This New 'Special' Player

As i mentioned on the last thread, after reading Gus' quote in The Argus I really am starting to believe the 'special' player is Lua Lua permanently (initial short loan so he recovers with us & guaranteed permanent signing in January). I don't think anyone could argue that this would be a 'special' signing (probably a lot of money involved too), and it would explain us signing another player on top - because they would cover for Lua Lua while he gets fit.

But LuaLua can't replace himself when he's injured
I don't think Gus is quoted as saying that the special signing is a replacement for Lua Lua, The Argus interprets his comments that way.

Double negative so who do you think the special player is?

It would be extremely rare for a club to sign someone with a freshly broken leg no? Bit of a risk you'd think pal?
Breaks are usually pretty straight forward so I don't think there's any doubting he will be back to his best before the end of the season. I'm sure we could use the fact that he is injured to lower the price we would pay too. Why wait until he is fully fit when there will be more teams interested, without a doubt, & the price will rise considerably? Gus loves him, the fans love him, he loves it here - worth the risk in my opinion.
driller
my life my word
he could sign with a clause about break being troublesome rather like we did with caldi' s hip

Actually, that makes some kind of sense...

Double negative, presumably makes a positive in this case ?

Except that in today's Argus he says it's critical we get him in before the Stains game rather than on Thursday...

I wonder if we might be looking at Marvin Emnes. Left sided midfielder/winger; just back at Middlesbro after a loan at Swansea and not starting under Mowbray...?
Just a guess, no source or anything Marvin Emnes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Completely agreed.
No he got called back to M'boro due to good form.

What do you mean, "as per usual?" As with KLL? As with the new striker that turned out to be Sandaza? I think the club has done a great job on delivering new players since TB and GP have been in situe.
No source, no inside knowledge, but i'll throw a name into the hat that is more than realistic IMO.
Dave Martin at Derby County, not yet breaking into the first team, but looked a very good player at Milwall in this division. Also believe he's from round here, as he had a trial/was a youth player here I believe?
Left footed, would fit the bill.

My guess is that we will sign a left sided player before the loan deadline and that it'll be a player that no-one has mentioned on this board or on the comments section of the Argus or by Andy Naylor in one of his lunchtime chats!
