    Quiz Question. Who was the last striker we signed from Nantes ?

    I was surprised to discover that if we do sign Sala he won't be the first striker we've signed from the French club.

    Nantes gave us Luigi as payback for spanking them in the ECWC , lets hope they have forgotten it.

    I know of two.

    Luton and Wolves. I don't think he ever started.

    According to Soccerbase.com, he did play in a 4-1 victory over Luton but Wolves are not one of the teams he faced.

    The same website points out that he also played a Carling Cup fixture boosting his appearances to 7, although he was pulled off after 46 minutes in his one league start and was considered third choice behind Andrea Ferretti and Keven Campbell in his first league appearance.

    I remember predicting that he could be the surprise package of the season, based on absolutely nothing other than a hunch. I was close.....

    His positioning seemed fine.

    I thought he could be OK

    Apparently his first 11 games for Nantes were all 0-0 draws.

    Dave Jones barely ever substituted a player at half time, but I can remember him doing it to Glombard when he started at Norwich as a replacement for Michael Chopra who I believe was suspended.

    That Southend game had one moment of quality (their goal) and the other 89 minutes was incredibly dull and/or frustrating football. A bit like last weekend really but with us losing instead.

    Must have been a Norwich away thing then because I remember Darcy Blake and Gunter swapping at half-time maybe the season after.
