We're signing that American RB, Yedlin?

 

[Lachster the Yid]

Romelu Lukaku

 

[Geyzer Soze]

Another line is 'drove my Chevy the the Levy but the Levy was dry'


Coupled with faith in God above, can we think this a signing levy's against & has something to do with Uncle Joe??

[Matthew]

that american guy from bayern.....

 

[mark87]

Romelu Lukaku

On a pre contract. Done it. I win.

 

[thfc1989]

American Pie - Tara Reid - Winston Reid

Last year of contract and West Ham hate us.

I really like him too...

I'm backing this one.

 

[paulcumpstone]

I'm backing this one.

surely we couldn't approach him yet so doesn't fit.

 

[goughie1966]

American Pie was a tribute to Buddy Holly - not sure that helps though....

Only the beginning:

But McLean also expressed disappointment that the Holly references were all some people got out of the tune. "The fact that Buddy Holly seems to be the primary thing that people talk about when they talk about 'American Pie' is kind of sad. But fine with me," he said in a radio interview. "Because only the beginning is about Buddy Holly, and the rest of it goes on and talks about America and politics and the country, and trying to catch some kind of a special feeling that I had about my country, especially in 1970 and '71, when it was very turbulent."

 

[mark87]

Well Winston Reid is from New Zealand so maybe Ryan Nelson bigged him up while in Toronto.

 

[Gedson100]

Right, we've all had a good guess and a lot of fun, let's have the answer.

 

[easley91]

Winston Reid is really underwhelming to me. If it happens, he could prove me wrong. But, right now I don't see him as good enough for us.

 

[ItsBoris]

Southampton may get angry since they've already lost so many other players?

Plus we have their ex manager who they wouldn't like coming back in for their players.

 

[Kushal]

Andy Reid.

Pie!

 

[doom]

best to work out which clubs would hate us approaching their players and surely if we had a chance of getting a player when said club hates us could this mean the player has a buy-out clause?

now who really hates us.. Spammers, Seville, Les Ars,

oh and why would they get angry in private?

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Southampton may get angry since they've already lost so many other players?

Is that the best you got Mr "someone will get it in ten minutes"

 

[SpartanSpur]

Tara Reid is also in Sharknado so...

Suarez on loan?

 

[ilikeost]

Chevrolet sponsors United, United has american owners etc. Not that I think we would go after someone from United but hey, I'm just trying to help!

American Pie"

[Intro]
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died

[Chorus]
So bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"

[Verse 1]
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died

[Chorus]
I started singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"

[Verse 2]
Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me

Oh, and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned

And while Lenin read a book on Marx
A quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died

[Chorus]
We were singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"

[Verse 3]
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast

Now the halftime air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance

'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?

[Chorus]
We started singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
And singin' "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"

[Verse 4]
Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan's spell

And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died

He was singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
And singin' "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"

[Outro]
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets, the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken

And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died

And they were singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"

[Chorus]
They were singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
And singin' "This'll be the day that I die"



We are signing........ Stone...from Everton

 

[coysjod]

Backing the Bayern theory, Julian Green.

 

[DaSpurs]

Probably not it at all, but I wonder if the "Chevy" reference is significant considering their new sponsorship with Man U. I wonder if it could be one of their players which the fans wouldn't want to lose.

"Chevy to the 'Levy'"
