Steven Fletcher. £45m striker any day of the year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. 9 for me is special, and more recently has not been given to players anywhere near worthy of it. Big Wes at No. 9. He’ll be a freaking hero. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a forward on loan called Gustavo Bartelt around that time who was Argentinian, but I don't think he ever made it onto the pitch for us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't get het up about somebody on the internet saying that his finishing could use a bit of work until we've seen what he contributes. Jimenez springs to mind. As, actually, does John Carew. Very true. If he has a impact like either of those two he will be a terrific purchase for us. I can't say I know too much about him to be honest but I'm hoping the fan base are patient with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big billy downer post like that. Come on Wook! As has been posted, should be OK as shown on previous pages. I also don't think the club would have released it unless they were very confident.

Dr_Pangloss Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Well we apparently nearly signed Roberto Carlos and Juninho in the mid 90s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 And Van Nistelrooy we were close to I believe? Imo he needs to be No. 9. Mcginniesta is no. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I remember the Juninho one like it was yesterday. I really (really) wanted us to sign him. He was pictured going into VP to have talks, looked nailed on. In hindsight it was probably for the best it didn’t happen, if I remember rightly his second spell at Boro wasn’t the dream return to England they had hoped.
