Now that we've signed Assaidi I'll be very surprised if Afellay (whom I rate) also arrives.
Both Sturridge and Defoe worry me a bit. They're clearly both talented players but neither of them, Defoe especially, seems to have made that talent count with enough consistency to become a regular choice elsewhere. I wouldn't be busting a gut to get either of them TBH.

Sturridge holds the ball far too long and tries to take on defenders with fancy dribbles anytime he can, he seems a very selfish player. Would Bren be able to break him of his bad habits?
Bojan to Milan as per Galliani
That sounds just like Defoe. In fact most strikers ! Think Bren could do a job on him.
No probs. Didn't he get Raheem to stop saying "steady"? Sturridge would be like putty.
Where do we think Affelay ends up?
Inter.
Walcott rejects new contract, renews attack on Naipaul.
I don't know whether I've just caught his shit games, but he's never excited me that much. Anyone else?
Only watched him once or twice and never really seen what the fuss is about. He was very highly rated though
I've seen maybe half a dozen clips of him and was actually reasonably impressed. However, we don't need him *and* Assaidi.
Huntelaar anyone. ???

Unbelievable scoring record. I just wonder why he's only at Schalke, not banging them in for one of the really top sides.
Would you take Van Persie ?
I'd be a bit wary. He is 29, and not really been a success at the two top sides he's played for. I also have always been more in favour of getting a more complete striker, who'd fit in well with our attack, and that IMO, isn't just someone who can finish, but someone who can lead the line as a quality off-the ball runner, and mesh well with Suarez and co's quality on-the-ball work. I'd thus prefer someone with a bit of pace and strength, and who can play off the defence's shoulder over someone who's a classic fox-in-the-box type, if you know what I mean.
Not entirely a fair comparison. van Persie's been banging them in England for years at the top level. Huntelaar, on the other hand, has only really done it in Holland and in Germany, while being sort of a failure at both Madrid and Milan - the two big clubs he's played for.
I suppose so. Spurs had 18 million rejected for him. But perhaps Damiao didn't really want to go there. Wishful thinking, but maybe Lucas can have a word?
He scored 8 in 20 at Madrid, and most of his appearances - if I remember correctly - were sub appearances. He didn't do well at Milan though (7 in 25 league games).
RvP has not been banging 'em in for years - 2 seasons of 15+ league goals (his last two) ... Before that? 5,5,11,7*,11,9* ...
* - injury shortened seasons.
I am one of his biggest fans - but I don't think this is a wise investment ...
