Grégory Coupet

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Look, the last thing I ever dreamt of doing, was to come on here with any kind of transfer rumour that originated from south-west France.
However, whilst I was at the market this morning I was signalled out by Flavlo Balotti, a Corsican neighbour of mine. Having seen the Southend United banner on my van, he was keen to tell me a story that he was sure would interest me. Apparently, his aunt, who is a hairdresser in Lyon, has Coupet as one of her clients.
She says that he is a great admirer of Flavs and that his favourite cassette is Darryl's performance against Man.U (which was shown on Canal + here) and .....that he watches it over and over again. He feels that he has gone as far as he can go with OL and is looking to develop his career. You're not going to believe this, but according to Flavlo's aunt, taking up the role of understudy to Flavs, is one of the best ways he sees as breaking into the English Football League. I assure you that this one has legs on it......or as they say down here.....'le bruit court'

This are the type of stories that I love during "silly" season. Brilliant.

 

[Andy_S]

Yeah course, why not, the French No1 coming here.

Very bored today are you!? :stunned:

Isn't this bloke first choice for that French national side?

I know a man who knows a man who knows the man who trims Micheal Owens nose hair, well he told me that Micheal Owen has heard Coupet is joining southend and owen wants to know if tilly could make room for him too, cos Owen see tilly play in the FA Trophy final and liked his hair, but thats not the end of it cos Emile Heskey heard Owen was coming to RH and now he is camping in RH car park until Tilly gives him a contract to be a steward cos he likes the orange jackets!:)

Honest, it must be all true because i read it in the Beano as well.

Apologies..........I'm not going to get into the habit of resuscitating dying threads but I did originally have the idea of letting this stew for a day just to see how the bait would be taken. Thank you very much for your replies, I'm glad that most of you found it funny but I'm not sure if anyone twigged.
Didn't expect anyone to come back with....'Oi mate, you're having us on, market day in St Gaudens is on Thursday!'......but you never know. However there was another clue to provide people with doubt over the veracity of this rumour...........

On a serious note though.

I wouldn't want him here even if this were true!!!! :stunned: :O

First reason for not wanting him here...........

35 years old

and......

He's only 1/2 an inch taller than Darryl!!!

Thanks for that secondalibi.....didn't realise he was so small....his wages certainly wouldn't be ......there is a more serious talk of him going to Spurs.
Anagram of Flavlo Balotti......a site where we find rumours that we can all believe in.
