New Striker?

I shared this with @ForeverAddickted the other day but I thought it would be good to share with everyone else...

It seems as though a London club is looking for a new striker and their requirements for this role is not very much. With the pay they're offering, it could well be us with our huge budget under RD :wink:

Anyway, made me laugh for even a football club to be advertising in this way.

    Looks to me as though the ad has been placed by a Womble with a sense of humour!

    mentioned on R5Live this lunchtime .. saves money on scouting .. seems to me to be a sensible way of unearthing unknown/unrecognised talent .. indeed sort out the timewasters and forward realistic applicants to the club/agency concerned .. can't see any problem with this at all .. the only proper London L1 team a t m is Wimbledon

    AFC Wimbledon do not have recent Premier experience unless you count Combined Counties Premier or Isthmian League Premier.

    Makes me think whether it could be us but they've not changed it from League One to Championship considering it is mandatory to have experience in the Championship.

    I don't believe it for a second, but I found it humorous nonetheless.

    Wimbledon as a 'name' was in the prem until 2000, not 'recently' .. IF the advert is not a total spoof and IF the club is really a L1 club in 'London', it must be Wimbledon .. lots of 'IFs' in there though lol

    AFC  Wimbledon have NEVER been in the Premiership. Highest they have been is League One.

    You must be thinking of Mk Dons. Different club.

    Probably a spoof. As if ANY ex- Premier League footballer (even with little experience such as Grant) would sign for £1k pr week.
