maqroll Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I've always liked Benni McCarthy...wonder if Blackburn would sell him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I also think that the Alan Smith deal is going to get done. Just a hunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 He's a good player, but do we need a central defender? Tell you what if we don't get one and ML or Mellberg gets another injury, we will be in bad shape again - we desperately need one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Fergerson has said Smith aint going anywhere. Thank goodness for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Oh and Spuds are not really gonna sell Defoe are they, regardless what Nick says he has scored 11 in 10 games and Jol said he will never sell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Remember Jez, lots of players have been sold after their manager has declared they won't sell them. And I don't speak only about a certain Vassell. So please, keep the faith. For once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy178 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I think we saw a glimpse of what SWP can do against Reading when he created Drogba's second goal. It would be why, if we did sign him, what we would expect him to do. But I don't think we'll get him. So it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Oh yeah true, not when they have scored 10 in 11 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 not long now! We might have to create a new thread... JAN 07 transfer window - CONFIRMED SIGNINGS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 No, probably not. Well, some players won't be for sale and I think that Defoe is one of them from now on. So I'll give you that. Smith might be another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinity-Tom Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I think Defoe is getting a run of games and Jol said what he did in order to put him in the shop window and yield the best price. With his recent form I think £12 million would get him and I for one would be delighted. I think I would rather him to Bent actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I think I would rather him to Bent actually. At the moment I think I would as well, but 2 months ago it would have been the other way around. Now that Defoe is scoring and Bent isn't (tonight notwithstanding) he seems the more attractive proposition. Still don't think we'll get him though.

jasthevillan Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Right on mate, Defoe at his best is better than Darren Bent and has proved it over a much longer period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 agreed. hes already got 12 goals. Probably not as many games.. his goal scoring record is actually quite good. I dont care how much he would cost as long as we get the players we need. Were not run by Ellis anymore.. were not after bargains.. were after quality. Hopefully.

GoBrownsGoVilla Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I'd rather have Bent unless Berbatov comes along with Defoe. He's the main reason Defoe has found his scoring touch again. Berbatov has to be a striker's dream to pair up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I heard Distin wants out of Man City because he wants more money. i think he'd be a fine addition to the rear guard, a sorely needed veteren defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adbo9 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I hear Robert Earnshaw is available for £4M.............. portsmouth are interested, now for me this kid is the best striker outside the premiership and could easily play in the premiership.........(12 league goals in only 15 league starts for baggies proves that) plus hes rapidly fast, works hard, granted not the greatest all round player but for me would be a far greater goalthreat than any of our forwards at present............. and that is what we need, a player who can nick goals and poach in the box........ and hes scored 147 league & cup goals in less than 250 games, thats topclass whatever the level, plus not withstanding 9 international goals in 20caps........... for me if were looking for a striker this las is well worth the punt........

If we are ever to compete with likes of Arsenal,Liverpool,Man. Utd, etc (Chelsea are a different kettle of fish). Then we need to be signing players they would also be interested in. Do you see them queing up for the toothy one ? I thought not, why is that do you think? Defoe and Bent have both been monitored by the big boys. These are the kind of players we need to throw of the small time mentality that Herbert imposed on us for so many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
