The Glory Hunters: Transfer Rumours

(First published on 606 on 03 June 08)

Previously on The Glory Hunters: Clive Chives and Tarquin meet up every week at the Slug and Lettuce to talk about football. Tarquin is still undecided on who he should change allegiance to after Arsenal went another season without winning and Clive is smugly superior about his choice of Man Utd.

Clive: Hello Tarquin my old chummer. Bottle of Becks?

Tarquin: Actually I'll have a Corona.

Clive: A what?

Tarquin: A girl in my office told me about them, you get a wedge of lime with it so it helps take away that horrible beery taste.

Clive: Sounds good, I think I'll join you. Hopefully that Polish sort with the nice bottom will serve us.

Tarquin: Too right chummer. Bit quiet on the old footy front this week.

Clive: Indeed. I did see on the back of someone's Metro that you're after some French chap. Sammy something or other.

Tarquin: Sammy Nasro. Oh yes, he's a top footy player. Great at, you know, the old kicking the footy. I'm not sure he'll convince me to carry on with Arsenal though.

Clive: No, he's not exactly a star name is he, old Samuel Nashry.

Tarquin: Exactly, it's about time Wenger spent big, splashed the cash. I say get old David Beckham from Real Madrid. £30 million ought to do it.

Clive: Oh yes, Becks'd be a good signing. I remember watching him on Match Of The Day, pace, kicking, other football things, he has it all.

Tarquin: So what about your boys then? Any transfer news? I overheard two lads in the canteen saying you might lose Evra if he doesn't sign a new contract.

Clive: Who?

Tarquin: Evra is it? Evans? Ebra?

Clive: Do you mean Ronaldo?

Tarquin: Yes that must be it. This Corona's pretty good isn't it? Nice and limey.

Clive: Not as nice as that Polish sort's bottom though eh?

Tarquin: Phwoar you're not wrong me old chummer. You're not wrong.
