Especially if our other targets fail to materialize and we're desperate towards the end of the window. I wouldn't be keen myself, but could surprise people. This is what started it...

I think you're in a very small minority, in a time when we're shifting out all the billy big bollox and bringing in leaders / promising youth it would go entirely against the grain 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Kanu is shite. Look at his goal scoring record. I've had enough of strikers that don't score goals. His goal in the euros was quality but he's actually rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this not the world class player Xia said we'd sign thread? My bad. i have no objection to signing Kanu, but we've not been linked to him for a very long time and even then it was just tabloids trying to create a story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because Utd bought him doesn't make him good. Too old anyway, next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Straggler Posted August 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2016 The website just crashed for me, that normally means we have signed someone and the meltdown has happened. Sad to say it seems like it was just an old fashioned internet problem. Got all excited by a 404 Not Found web page. stupid internet 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schweinsteiger is 32 (2 days older than Jedinak) and people would actually turn their noses up at him while we're in the Championship?! Don't get me wrong, there's absolutely zero chance of him coming, but the fact that multiple posters think he would be a poor signing is mind-boggling! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condimentalist Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 OK player but doesn't score nearly enough goals. Would rather look elsewhere. This could be a stalking horse to a Hernandez deal, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying Joey Barton isn't "good" (for some definition of good). I was making the point that Joey Barton played for City, Newcastle & QPR and has 1 England cap and Schweinsteiger played for Bayern & Man Utd and captained a World Cup winning German team. If Barton at the age of 35 can rip up the Championship, then what a 32 year old BS could do doesn't bear thinking. Anyway, its tabloid rubbish so a moot point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham fans seem to think as highly of him as we do Micah Richards (see Hammerschat); they are desperate for him to go. I don't know anything about him as a player, but it always worries me when fans want a player sold. So I hope its more Daily Mail bullshit.

useless Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Just had a look on 'Knees Up Mother Brown' and West Ham fans don't seem to rate him at all, they're calling him names like Bambi and saying that will drive him there themselves. From what I've seen of him he's not an out and out striker anyway. Don't think it's true because he's similar to Ayew and McCormack, in terms of positioning on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
