Noel Hunt to Benfica - not really

[Far Canal]

Translation from the Benfica website:

“SLB is about to sign Noel Hunt up.

The presentation of the player could be done during the next home game at Luz Stadium.

The fans are eagerly awaiting more news about this.”

Somewhere in here (helps if you can read Portugese):

My colleague from Portugal has confirmed that this is true

O sh!te, another experience player being sold...

[Ozymandias]

Hardly experienced, one season ? let him go.

No great impact to be honest, I prefer Bignall.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner....

I've had two separate emails from people with links to stories about their number 10s signing for Benfica. Ironically one of them was a Watford fan and it was naming Tommy Smith (even though I'm not sure he wears 10, does he?). So clearly some clever internet wind-up - but not that clever.

Joe Gamble is unhappy at Cork, I read this week, and would probably be willing to play as striker. Given the chance.

No offence to noel, but surely the recession cant be hitting benfica that much, that they are getting their strikers from us haha! I could be wrong though...

[Question Mark]

I see they're also bringing Des Walker out of retirement...

[SteveRoyal]

No. Just... no.

[Starfish]

No. Just... no.

Des Walker was never that bad, was he?

[Barry the bird boggler]

Shouldn't this unadulterated claptrap be in UR&G?

[Question Mark]

No. AE
