How Louis-Jean got signed.

AGENT: Hello, is that Nigel Worthington?
WORTHINGTON: Notmean.
AGENT: Hello Nigel, I don't know if you saw, but Nottingham Forest have just been relegated to the Third or Second Division, or League One or whatever it's called now.
WORTHINGTON: I ... we ... err ... no, I was too busy with the Football War at Fulham, notmean.
AGENT: Are you still trying to sign every member of the Forest team that beat your lot 4-0 a couple of years back?
WORTHINGTON: I am - their movement was good, they didn't overcreate and I think that's what I want at NorwichCityFootballClub. I've got Brennan and Ward and they're proven Championship players, and Huckerby, and I've tried to sign Scimeca and Harewood-
AGENT: Listen, shut up for a second. I've got Mathieu Louis-Jean here - I heard you've let Edworthy and Helveg go. Interested?
WORTHINGTON: Am I? Notmean. I'm so interested I swap you my favourite Gary Holt!
AGENT: Are you going to send a scout to watch him first?
WORTHINGTON: No, he's played well against us - that's enough.
AGENT: When's the medical?
WORTHINGTON: He's played well against us - that's enough.
AGENT: Great! I'll stick him on a train to Norwich this afternoon. OK, by-
WORTHINGTON: Listen, notmean, we've lost a lot of players and I need to appease the fans, although I don't care what they think. Have you got anyone else? I need a Big Man up front.
AGENT: I've got this chap Thorne - Cardiff want to release him because his wages are too high and he's always inj-
WORTHINGTON: What's his history?
AGENT: He scored against you once.
WORTHINGTON: That's perfect, notmean. Stick him on the train. Hmm ... I need one more signing to really sell this to the fans. Do you have any ineffectual, paperweight Wigan reserves? I'm trying to garner a wealth of midfielders, notmean.
AGENT: Umm ... yeah ... Jason, fancy going to Norwich?
JARRETT: Bollocks to it, why not?
AGENT: Anything else?
WORTHINGTON: No - a triple signing is enough for me, notmean. Thanks.
AGENT: OK, bye.
WORTHINGTON: Delia! DELIA! I've spaffed all the Francis money! Want anything from the supermarket?
