£7 million. Alternatives?

If Trevor Francis said today was Friday, I wouldn't believe him.

 

And I suspect the Keane financial package required would be too great for us.

that'll be a first :D

 

anyway, don't fetch trevor francis into it, he really hasn't got a clue

 

he's improved loads since then and been allowed to play up front rather than on the wing

 

the size of the fee (whether 7 milion includes wages or not) doesn't bother me, either

 

i've trusted davies/gartside this far to do what is right financially, and i can't really see any reason not to support them now

 

whether johnson is good enough, i guess yes, and it would seem sam wants him

 

i doubt he'll end up at bolton, but if sam wants him, i hope he does

i dont see johnson as a complete quality striker, yes he scores goals but jardel scored 300 goals in about 300 games in his career, borgetti is mexico's all time leading scorer but they just dont fit...

 

sorry i dont see andy johnson as what sam and our team really needs in a striker.

 

you don't get 'complete' within our budget

even if its 7m?

even if its 7m?

 

7 million + sensible wages, or 7 million inc wages whichever you fancy

 

name me one

 

and he's need to be willing to join us

 

and he needs experience of english football

even if its 7m?

 

The list of strikers who have gone for way more than that who are 'incomplete' goes on and on

 

I'll start with Heskey ??11m and Angel ??9m

Throw someone else into the discussion...

 

What about Yakubu?

Someone sent me this a couple of weeks ago, and as you'll see from the

>video, people are supposed to 'remember the name'. Anyway, a report today

>suggests that Manchester United are trying to buy him for ??6 million, and

>you'll see why.

>He's now famed in Brazil for his 'seal dribble', which you'll see, and

>you'll know why it's called that! (I love the foul on him in the second

>clip...)

 

Keane will be first choice along with Berbatov next season. No chance of him being available.

 

He was class this season, and let's face it. Hes better than Defoe.

 

Rumour has it Mido won't be signed permanently, and Berbatov is his replacement. Besides, I think he'd come to a bigger club than us to be honest. Or a club that comes in for him, like Everton have for AJ.

did i hear in the comms for the uefa final he scored best part of 20 last season

 

so well over 7 million, and say 40k+ per week?

even if its 7m?

i suppose thats part of the problem, there arnt many.

He went to Boro for ??7.5m.

 

He seemed to be 3rd choice at the end of the season so perhaps Boro would sell if they recouped their money.

 

Has scored for the last 3 seasons in the Prem so perhaps not as much of a risk.

 

At the end of the day, we have to trust Sam on this I suppose.

Yakubu was in a drought at the end of the season

 

And the fans / management weren't thrilled with his attitude I believe

 

One to avoid in my book, bags of talent but lazy and uncommitted

good god

 

jimmy floyd and him in one dressing room sounds likes moments of fun

And Viduka too!

I agree there is no way Keane is leaving. Yea they've bought a new striker for all that money but I think it's pretty certain Mido wont sign permantley and it looks like defoe is on his way aswel.

Keane? A talented footballer, but not the man for us. He misses more than he scores and aint the hardest worker. And he's going nowhere.

 

We need someone with pace, a work-rate and the ability to finish whi would be available...Andy Johnson anyone.?..oh right we don't want / need him... ](*,)

 

Whoever mentioned Milner could be onto something - he's a great little player, but not too sure where he'd fit in...

I agree and agree again.

there is 1 player who can solve our goal scoring talley and its Michael Ricketts ! for a bout 4k its a bargain get big sam to do his magic.

Camerone Jerome at 19, with bags of pace, and looks as if there are goals in him. Could be worth a risk at about three and a half million.

Eidur Gudjohnson for ??4million Miete for ??500k The other possibilities include Jemmaine Pennant, Mikkel Forsell because Allydyce wanted him last season Carlton Cole as back up But the ??7m on Johnson would be money well spent becauese he has got pace and lots of ability!

 

Mate, thats not even a typing error, y's not even near a. It's poor that you don't know how to spell our managers name. ](*,)
