Scored his 2nd hattrick against a Premiership side in the past year. Anyone know anymore about the guy ? I know he's at Wigan and was at Bristol last year etc. Sounds like one to keep an eye on.
Nathan Ellington

- Start date
He's 21 years old and is obviously a good prospect. Will be interesting to see how he gets on, wonder how far along an under-21 call-up is.
Good prospect, but to buy a top prospect from the football league will cost an absolute fortune. It's a catch 22 situation, are any premiership sides going to pay an extortinately high price for a player from the lower league when they can possibly sign a European/South American player who may be getting on a bit or has been in trouble, but who has played at the top level and was (maybe still is) an international. I am thinking about Dundee's signing last year of Claudio Canniga for a small fee, also Cantona when he first came to England, Zola was cheap, even Di Canio when he went to Celtic from Italy.
Can't see him costing all that much. 2-3m perhaps. After all he's still a prospect that I'm sure alot of clubs are watching. He's scored 2 hatricks against Prem sides, but has yet to play a whole year in the Prem.
3 hatricks againast Prem sides
Derby,West Brom and who else??????

Sod him.What about this ugly little bastard?Robert Earnshaw from Cardiff.11 goals in 6 games.20 years old,5 foot 2in.here he is in action,putting the sheep out of the FA cup last season.

How very true david.

Earnshaw would cost a packet though.
Neither Earnshaw or Ellington would cost much at all. between 2 and absolute max of 4m. CD and Gazza are talking total cobblers.
Time will tell.

No it won't
...and besides,no-one in the football leauge has any money.We could probably get that ellington guy if we offered a sack of training bibs and some cones.Cardiff will let Earnshaw go for half a dozen knuckledusters and a tub of eyebrow dye for Sam Hammam.
