My son has just made a very important point...
Can we really bring in two players with dodgy hairdo's in one window, with Gallagher and Dragusin?!
It's a cracking point.
Normally when we bring a player with a dodgy barnet in - Waddle, Brazil, Coates spring to mind - then we try to even it out with players with normal haircuts. This appeases the notoriously vengeful hairstyle gods.
The nearest to a double dodgy 'do season that I can recall is 1987-88 when we brought in Johnny 'bumfluff slaphead' Metgod and followed it up with Paul 'mullet supreme' Walsh.
They'll tell you we came 13th that season because of all the hoo-hah around David Pleat's kerb crawling, but I reckon it was the curse of the hairstyle gods.
Consequently, I'm of the view that, if we get Dragusin, which I hope we do, then we'll have to rule out Gallagher - at least until the summer.
Otherwise, the vengeance of the hairstyle gods awaits. And, given how cursed this season has been already, it can only be pretty horrendous.
