Is Coventry striker the Best a Mag can get?

The smogs were after Best early doors in the transfer window but SSN are suggesting that he will join us on a three-and-a-half year contract, should he pass his medical today. Having failed with the capture of Jermaine Beckford from Leeds and Victor Moses from Crystal Palace, Hughton looks to have turned his attentions to the next best thing available. Marlon Harewood would have been the obvious choice but for his untimely injury.
Twenty three year old Leon Best has had a fairly unspectacular career so far, starting off at Southamption but spending most of his time on loan, at QPR, Sheff Wed, Bournemouth and Yeovil respectively, before moving on to Coventry City in 2007. Almost three years later, he has 22 goals to his name in 102 appearances, while having represented his country four times.
At a time when we’re crying out for a natural goal-poacher, Leon Best doesn’t immediately spring to mind but SSN seem fairly confident that it’s going ahead. I think I might be a little disappointed if this materialises quickly, as I was looking forward to a last-gasp and impressive announcement on the storke of midnight. And what’s the crack with all the interest in getting lads who’ve worn masks? Some kind of new NUFC fetish?
Looks like a right Twat in that stupid mask…like a cheap Edgar Davids.
Mike Ashley is probably getting the masks already made up in some asian sweat factory to bash out at his shops for a tenner to cover his wages.
