England International?
Here we go for some tenuous links:
We previously had another former West Brom striker from French Guiana. He did alright without having a brilliant strike rate for us.
England International?
Cyrille Regis?
Believe he has to be registered by noon today to be able to play Sunday, sounds to me it is just subject to a medical so the paperwork and finances should be done.If he signs tonight, will that be in time for him to be registered to play in the Burton game on Sunday?
On twitter was having a read, people were naming people like Beccio and Frazer Campbell and are now underwhelmed if it is Fortune.
Not entirely sure what some of our fans actually expect.
Beccio has gone back to Argentina.
Hmm, let's see who's moaned already. Ah, slowerthanplatt!
BINGO
I'm not moaning. I'm questioning why we are signing a player similar to Tudgay (one who doesn't score many but can make the team play better overall).
League 1 could be his level, he could score 20 goals by the end of the season, who knows. Just, if he is good as some posters say then whys it took him to early September to sign for a club? Either a) no other clubs are inerested or b) his fitness is massively beyond.
If he signs then we can give him a fair few games to judge if he is good or not surely?
Whens the announcement
You're right. They are the only two possible situations for a player to be available in September....I'm not moaning. I'm questioning why we are signing a player similar to Tudgay (one who doesn't score many but can make the team play better overall).

I still can't believe the lack of ambition we're showing by not even chucking a cheeky 600k at a strikerIt is common knowledge that any player who moves on a free is crap, because nobody wanted to pay for them.

Well we are aren't we? Fancy having an unproven 18 year old loanee leading the lineIt's just a few, slowerthanplatt was shitting himself after the last preseason game against Oxford as well telling everyone we'd struggle for goals and that everything was awful
Sportinglife are fucking idiots who don't know jack shit about football
Here are some quotes from baggies fans about Fortune - I am pretty excited about this one:
"Having watched Fortune for 3 years, I'm quite surprised by peoples' reaction. Unfortunately when people look at the stats they will only see that he doesn't score many. However, I, along with a massive majority of Albion fans were absolutely gutted he was leaving. Was our player of the season a few years ago - he's pacy, skillful, powerful, a great passer of the ball, and always puts in a shift, the fans at the Hawthorns love him. The only downside is that he struggles to score, but put alongside someone clinical - or played on the wing he can be massively effective.
We were gutted to have lost him, and I have complete confidence that he will be a brilliant signing for you guys."
"Your going too be in for a nice surprise. Watch him link the play and bring Midfielders & Wide men into the game. his hold up play is 1st class , he is as strong as an Ox , no tough guy League one Centre Half is going to bully him about. Top draw Knit one Pearl one footballer , pass move , give and go - hit MAF and the ball sticks , oh , and he will run himself into the ground for you. Many a standing ovation coming his way this season , when he leaves the pitch cramped up after 80 minutes.
He will keep both Centre Halfs fully occupied with their hands being full entirely by himself. Don't fret over his Goals record - theres more than one way to skin a cat."

Sounds just like cyrille, if he's half the player he was we're in for a fun season.Here are some quotes from baggies fans about Fortune - I am pretty excited about this one:

34 is the new 24I am not being negative about this, but those quotes were 2 years ago from a wigan forum.
He is now 34.
He should certainly do a job, but will naturally be slower than he was at 31/32
