Two Becomes Three? Fri 30th Jul 1999 12:40 George Burley's attempts at turning Portman Road into Little Sweden took another turn today with rumours that a third Swede may be on his way to the club. Swedish sources suggest that Andreas Jakobsson is not the only Helsingborgs player we are interested in and that Magnus Powell may also have caught the Burley eye. Striker Powell is 24 and measures 184cm (about 6'1" by my calculations) and is highly rated by Helsingborgs fans. One said of him: "Powell rocks. Actually they are [both] so darn good that we'd like to keep them in our club. I sincerely hope that they do not do the mistake and leave our club for Ipswich Town [sic]. Well. If your club wants to get them. They'd better pay at least £2.5 million." |
