    Spanish striker.

    Story in the NP about Notts giving up trying to sign a free agent from Spain only to be "held to ransom" (my words) over wages.

    Sorry, I don't know how to post the Post's story.

    Are they still looking to bring in a striker?

    What is the point of announcing stuff like this? Saying a signing broke down at the last minute cos of wages is a bit like saying “yeah we all ready to go with our new star striker, but then we found out he only had one leg”.

    It's called informing people that the deal fell through, if they hadn't you would be moaning that the club is not telling us anything on the search for a striker.

    I imagine it's to stop people bleating "what's all this about...", "why the secrecy about...", "why is Alan Hardy hiding the truth about..."

    Damned if you tell the people, damned if you don't.

    To paraphrase another Grouch you wouldn't want any player that wanted to join our club.
