Ade nuff yet?

Championship football managers clearly don't read this blog. Blades and Clarets have been in a tug-of-war to sign Ade Akinbiyi from Stoke. Another £600,000 spunked on 'panicbuyi'. A fierce critic from his Palace days - the 'Ed' of this story - confides:

'Coincidentally, I was thinking of of old Ade-nuff the other day. For some reason I was under the impression that he was our all-time record signing.

Then I realised that it was in fact Valerian Ismael, and suddenly my heart was full of forgiveness for the man hailed by Trevor Francis as a great "defensive forward".'

Quite.
