Yesterday... (Fao ATB)

When I was watching yesterday's game I was reminded of a post by ATB with the idea that Ipswich take (my local boy) Archie Thompson on loan for the rest of this season.
viewtopic.php?p=347921&highlight=#347921
It got me thinking what it could have been like if Archie was playing instead of Haynes (but don't get me wrong, Haynes was great, but Archie's a devestating finisher).
I was just wondering if you ever did email the club with that idea, ATB? He could be another of those mystery "International Strikers" we keep hearing about...
Well, I could hope anyway...

Hey Victa
I never did email the club.. but even if i had i don't think it would've helped.. it looks like Gus Hiddink is about to sign him at PSV!!
that'd be a good move for the lad if he got game time

That'd be a fantastic move for him, I think it's a good indication of what a top player he is if he can impress a quality manager like Guus. Obviously I'm a bit 'out to lunch' on the news back home, where'd you come up with this little nugget of information?

Ernie Merrick needs a good kick up the arse.
Is it true there's a petition to sack Pierre Littbarski even though he's got Sydney in second? Like I said, I've got no access to home news over here in Reading.

I haven't come across any petition.. there's been rumours that people have been unhappy with him but it's all hogwash...
Sydney are trying to sign him up to a longer term contract
