read this on the waterford website
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Early reports suggest that former England international Chris Armstrong is poised to sign for the Blues. The former Tottenham, Bolton and Crystal Palace star is set to undergo a medical tomorrow and agree personal terms with the club.

Chris is likely to be on a 'pay as you play ' deal. Intrestingly he was spotted in the Woodlands hotel last night. However he would be unavailable for t0morrows cup game as he is not registered.

He'll see Waterford V Kilkenny tomorrow night at the RSC. I have to agree though, bad move signing a has-been. I hope he is shown up to be as such.

I thought we'd put all this rubbish behind us when Cork refused to sign Gazza, bah

playing with Wrexham and scored a couple of goals in their first match.Waterford have a history of this remember Dominic Iorfa was it worst player i have ever seen.

Roddy Collins is also doing his bit in this regard. Flying over ex-Northern Ireland international Keith Rowlands to play every week. He's also now promising an ex-England international apparently.

this is open for correction but i think he was player manager of crystal palace before dowie took charge or some team like that.played for southhampton a few years ago was good but not sure if he is much good now

**Thirsty Hoop** · 21/08/2004, 12:30 PM

Why are Cork signing Carlton Palmer? He's 39 FFS, there's no way he should get on the team. Unless he is signing in a coaching role, this is making a mockery of the league. Armstrong at 33 is bad enough, but Palmer?

You sure? From the indo breaking news:

Two former Premiership stars and England internationals are heading for the Eircom League. Former Spurs striker Chris Armstrong is aiming to bolster a Waterford United attack that scored seven goals against Kilkenny City in the FAI Cup last night. And ex-Stockport boss Carlton Palmer is to revive a playing career that saw him win a title with Leeds as he joins Cork City.

Trust the Sindo to get it half-right. He joined Cork City on the pitch, but as an opponent, playing for Dublin City.
