Wainy316 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 My favourite thread is back! Firstly - I cannot see us getting Darren Bent. Sunderland bought him for more than £15m so they'd want at least 20-25m which is probably out of our range. Sunderland paid £10m for him, which is part of the reason I'm so pissed off that we never went for him. Spurs paid £16.5m. Just like them to make a £6.5m loss on their best striker.

Dante_Lockhart Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 He's better than Heskey, and younger. He's broke into the England set up. Gabby, Cole, Delfouneso and Carew/New Striker would suit me fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Lukas Podolski would be a good shout big shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davies4England Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Lukas Podolski would be a good shout Not for me, so overrated, at club level he's awful. His reputation is held together by his amount of goals for Germany, a lot of which were against small nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorvillain Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I actually don't think we need another striker if we can land the right 2 new midfield additions that allow us to score from the midfield and play 4-5-1....... Honestly, I think adding Banayoun and Carrick would would make us competitive with any of the top 4 (barring major injury)......Carrick or another good holding/passing midfielder would free Milner to score even more. Gabby Downing Benayoun Milner Young Carrick (holding) ....should be good enough to compete with almost anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Podolski makes Heskey look prolific. Klose would be better. Not 1st choice at Munich and still young enough for Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time this happened, i remember Glaston came on here and said the figure was nearer 16million than 10million as this is what Spurs had reported to their shareholders. Spurs do very well in recouping figures they paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V111A Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Benayoun, Carrick, Scott Parker, Ireland all players i feel we could get should we push the boat, Carrick could be hard to get but he is an excellent player. Id really love Ireland, Kenwyne Jones and Carrick - all players who could be first team and improve the squad and at ages where they can also improve as players!
