Fenlon to sign Lithuanian, Mindaugas Kalonas?

Fenlon is also keen to make quick changes to the club's playing staff with several players likely to leave during the January transfer window. And SunSport understands Lithuanian international Mindaugas Kalonas could be his first signing.

The 27-year-old joined Bohs in July 2008 and scored the winning penalty when the Dublin club beat Derry City to claim the league and cup double the following season.

That earned him trials at West Brom and Birmingham and an offer from Red Star Belgrade, which the winger turned down.

And he only left Ireland when Fenlon was told he had to slash the club's wage budget.

Kalonas, now on loan at Russian club Kuban Krasnodar, is desperate to try his luck in British football.

No idea, but we have plenty of whingers in the stands.

Too true and many players that belong in the stands.

As long as they've paid to get in.

the lesser spotted winger is a species that frequents the outer perimeter of his habitat and provides nourishment for his near relative, the big striker...both species are seldom seen in the leith area and the last sighting of the lesser spotted was a variety known as the weir / macallister.

g: Good description. It shows how much the game has changed when people don't know what a bloody winger is.

***Jim44*** · 29-11-2011 08:06 AM

If he's a winger, he'll fit in fine ........ The rest of them have been winging it for years.

***Golden Bear*** · 29-11-2011 08:41 AM

Everytime I see a Lithuanian name I've got to repeat it several times in order to convince myself that it's not a wind up.

**Bohemian_Hibee** · 29-11-2011 08:42 AM

An extremely good player, hugely popular at Dalymount during his time here. He scored the winning penalty in the 2008 cup final to complete the double.

**~~Hibercelona~~** · 29-11-2011 09:26 AM

The pun is whingeworthy... I err mean cringeworthy...

Sounds more promising than our last Lithuania import

Trakys was a strange one. In the Rangers and Motherwell games he gave just about the most complete centre forward performances from a Hibs player for some time. Then vanished.

HA! I do that too. Been made to look a mug so many times.

Well, I'm sure Hearts will be right in there to offer higher wages than us, yet again.. OH WAIT.

I agree I was at the Motherwell game he played and thought he was one of the key reasons we won, but he didn't score any and that's probably why he was shown the door, but as you say it was a bit strange...

That doesn't matter. I am guessing that by the time he signs on with us, he will be filling in at right back.

Thank you, H_D.

A sane reply in a world gone completely loopy.
