Finger out time...but maybe too late.

Reports today suggest that the man to soothe all the fans needs would be a Mr J Beckford of Leeds United. £2.5 milion may be enough to prise Leeds' leading scorer away from the ground by the Sheffield-Leeds railway line. We at the Towers give this an X rating of 5. Proven League One goalscorer he may be, as 50 goals in 87 games is not to be sniffed at down there, but there is a whole lot of difference two divisons higher. And if Fabian Delph went for £6 million, is £2.5 enough? Cautious, yet not optimistic. In any sense.

Or how about David Nugent in exchange for Danny the Shit and the Badger? Well, with the whole squad being described as "not exactly really top drawer", does this mean that Nugent will be a marquee signing that we have been waiting for? Well, he has got a very good goals per game ratio at international level. X rating of 3. Although we do expect the lesser of the not top drawer squad to be on their way soon.

A nice little encapsulation of the problems facing the GSO can be found at sports blog under the title "Embattled Manager of the Week: Gary Megson". Although proving that there just aren't enough blogs about T'Wanderers (they quote Vital Football, Wanderers Way and The Wanderer (err...where are we?....what do you mean no one reads this?), this does what it says on the tin. Although we don't agree that the GSO will be gone after Portsmouth away. Sooner, surely?

The "hang on a minute" moment for today comes from the Bolton News, with the GSO apparently challenging Super Kev and Matty Taylor to get back into the goals, starting at Phil Brown's place on Saturday. Neither has hit the target since April (both the GSO and the former BEN forgetting that Elmander hasn't hit the target since January, but he must be off limits), but the GSO "sees no rationale for the pair's dip in form but has backed them both to come good" Well, I'm sure that they are both very glad about his backing. Maybe his tactics are the rationale? Just a thought.

Fat Mike watch. He's still fat. Expect him to still be fat on Tuesday.
