Bellamy to Villa?

[AFII]

No, the Argentinian left winger Rafa have signed that will join us in the summer.

If Villa offer anything over the £6m we paid for Bellamy we should rip their arms off. Same goes for Crouch. If Fat Freddy even splutters £10-12m we should sell him.

I can't wait for some new strikers.

Football Echo is intimating 2 new strikers will be brought in during the summer (in addition to Voronin who will be 5th choice striker)

Mentions Eto'o and Villa as likely options but stresses the coaching staff are concerned over Eto'os personality and Villa's strength

I only wish & pray!!

I can't think of anyone better at this moment than Eto'o or Villa so hopefully they both are transfer targets. If Rafa has concerns though I wonder who else he feels would fit the bill?

Two new strikers probably means that both Bellamy and Crouch will be sold in the summer. Rafa won't sell Kuyt.

Villa and one of Klose or Huntelaar would be excellent.

I'm a little bit surprised that our coaching staff is concerned over Villa's strenght. He is a very tough striker.

[Jayesh87]

Trezeguet will be one imo

I'd rather Crouch went than Bellers!

I'd rather they both went.

I really hope that becomes a reality.

I can’t see that happening considering that Fowler is on his way out already I don’t think that Rafa would replace three strikers in one summer/season.

[Kopite_Colin]

Depends whether we want to win th Premiership. We won't do it with the likes of Bellamy and Crouch. Not unless one of them is the 4th striker. we need 3 new strikers, and it look like one of them is Voronin, so we need 2 more.

My point was that not many teams replace three strikers within one season. All the names being thrown about for possible new signings are foreign. So if Crouch and Bellamy were sold we would then have Kuyt and Voronin plus another two from Eto’o/Villa etc. That would give you Kuyt as the only striker with any Premiership experience (and only one season for that), hence why I can’t see it happening.

You may be right. But this could be sh*t or bust for us. The $$$$ have come in, and we've waited long enough for No.19. Buy sufficient quality now (and we need to get it right now) and we'll have a chance. Bottle it, and fail to buy quality or continue rely on average players and we'll be waiting a lot longer.
