TrentVilla Posted December 17, 2008 Moderator Share Posted December 17, 2008 We seem to be linked with a different one each day so simple question, which one would you go for if it was your choice. (I have tried to pick realistic targets or ones we have been linked with) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villab0y Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Owen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I've gone for Emily. I think he is both realistic and, with the current concerns over BJC, much needed. I would have said Ashton, but he's too much of a croc, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Tough call between Ashton, Owen and RSC but I voted for RSC. He's young enough and scores a lot and isn't as injury prone as the other two. But I'd take any of the 3. Heskey, Crouch and Defoe I don't rate enough and I haven't seen Jovanovic play which makes it an unrealistic vote from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 went for Owen , easily the pick of the bunch RSC would be my second choice Ashton is too slow , Defoe too full of himself not to mention greedy and Crouch just too crap .. never really heard of Javanovic anyone voting for Heskey , you have my sympathy and I hope you get better soon :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMFy Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Owen. Desperately, definitely don't want Roque Santa Cruz. Not producing this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingTheLifeOfAVillan Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Ashton, for me he'd be a perfect partner for Gabby and i think he's a fantastic finisher and can also link the play, i just think Mon could really take his game on too.

gort Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Owen or Keane. We'll probably end up with Heskey though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulanddonya Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I've put Ashton in, But personally, it's Ashton and Owen - ship out Harewood and carew will probably be off in the summer anyway. Leaves, The Gabster, Owen , Ashton as main three with Young and Milner if we are crocked as back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted December 17, 2008 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2008 Between Ashton, Heskey and Owen for me. Ashton would be an incredible player for us, if fit, and I'm not sure even we could keep him fully fit. Same is true of Owen and I'm unsure how well he could work with Gabby, who I don't think is realistically benchable these days, though I do think Owen would be a great striker to have as well. Heskey isn't glamourous and would piss an awful lot of people off, but he's a good striker to work off for Gabby, wouldn't be too expensive, would be capable of doing Carews job when he's injured, and is benchable I suppose. Doesn't score too many himself and would not fulfill the hopes of anyone expecting the very best. Purely because I think he's the most realistic one, Heskey. Though any of em wouldn't piss me off too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted December 17, 2008 Moderator Share Posted December 17, 2008 I went for Michael Owen. But I'm amazed at how long I hovered over the Heskey button. I'm not convinced that RSC isn't a 1-hit wonder and I just don't wanna waste what would be £20m on him when we could get better elsewhere. Ashton would spend too much time in the treatment room but IF we could keep him fit he would probably be the pick of the bunch. Crouch no thanks. Been there, done that. A poor man's Heskey for how we'd utilise him. Defoe is a poor man's Owen despite him probably costing as much or more than said man. Heskey would be our Carew mark 2 and along with Owen would make the biggest difference to our strikeforce. He is everything MON wanted Harewood to be and with Carew's physical frailties manifesting of late, having this bulldog up front would give the opposition even more problems than they already have against us. I have to plead ignorance of Jovanovic and am willing to be proved wrong. I know nothing about him. But in reality, any one of Owen or Heskey would be very very good business in January and I'd be well happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian_Angel_M Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 whoever it is the striker MON wants will be the right one, at this stage the man has all my trust ... unless it is someone like Beattie which is very unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
