Surely it has to be a player who is not currently competing in European competition, so that has to rule the swede and the wolf fella out..

Any ideas ?

How much is Darren Bent worth these days ?
 
Re: So this striker where looking to sign, who is it going to be..

Cole.

Babel plus cash according to some reports today.
 
Re: So this striker where looking to sign, who is it going to be..

Even Babel just tweeted the rumour without a denial.

please god no...


Carlton Cole ??

I don't rate him, at all, However I remember watching an England friendly a while back where he looked quite handy, but even so, we need a striker who can score goals, not another Emile Heskey wannabe...

Offer Babel as a Part ex for Darren Bent..

Why does the striker not have to be from Europe?
 
Re: So this striker where looking to sign, who is it going to be..

Goal are reporting it could be Lucas for the Carlton Cole deal...

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET IT BE LUCAS!!!

I meant competing in European Competition. He will be Cup tied, pretty useless for us, as you would want Torres for the Premier League, the burden would then be on Torres to be available for both the League and Europe. The Striker we sign has to available to also play in Europa League.. makes sense really.

Yes yes yes.
 
Re: So this striker where looking to sign, who is it going to be..

Goal.com is shit. So I wouldn't read too much into that.

Meanwhile, Toivonen has been left out of PSV's game with Den Haag today. I really hope we get him.

West Ham already have Noble, Collinson, Parker that play in the middle...
Im sure they would much prefer the services of Babel...

Id be gutted if we let Babel go for that piece of shit. For fucks sake Babel may be a pussy but he has 10 times the talent.

Yeah, wouldn't disagree with that.
 
Re: So this striker where looking to sign, who is it going to be..

It'll probably be Ola or Cole. Ola I'm guessing.
 
Re: So this striker where looking to sign, who is it going to be..

If anybody does arrive up front I bet they will be shite. Carlton Cole is expensive shite ... I'd prefer we kept babel also and he is a waste of tweeting space.
 
If so, that's a waste of time. He'll cost Monopoly money, way more than we'll be able to afford until new owners arrive.
 
Only seen Carroll a few times but he's looked excellent.

If we want him, now is the right time to take a punt.

Really, really shit hair though.
 
BBC, Hodgson on Toivonen: He also distances the club from a move for Ola Toivonen, saying: "He doesn't fit the profile of the type of player we want."
 
The Toivonen link has gone a bit cold, mainly due to the asking price.

Wouldn't mind Cole acutally. He's apperantly available for 9 mill £, it's just about structuring a deal. Give them Lucas.

Hahahaha
 
Carlton Cole is very like Heskey, so we might get one good season out of the big, fucking lummox, if he stays long enough

It's a shit idea, but if it means Lucas fucking off, I don't much care

But we won't get that lucky

Brilliant. And now Sky reporting that Real are interested in him. We're going to regret this.
 
If Scott Parker moves then its gonna be Lucas.

I wouldn't mind Bent. He has scored goals for every club he has played for and has a bit of pace. However Steve Bruce will never do business with us so we can safely forget it. I'd take a punt on Carlton Cole!
 
I just watched his interview on the BBC and he basically alluded to the fact that Ola is more of a second striker by saying we already have Gerrard, Cole, Pacheco etc. and he's looking for someone who can do a bit of what Torres can.
 
Let's face it, when Granddad talks about a similar player to Torres, what he actually means is a big fucking Galoot up front, who can lumber about the place on his own

Ie Cole or Carew or Zamora
 
Well Torres may as well have been a Heskey today the way we just pumped balls up to him expectantly.
