Bellamy to Villa?

[Fierce]

I have said it before. None of our current strikers are good enough. So if someone offers us what we payed for any of them I say take it.

I would love to see Klose, Huntelar, Villa or Eto but one striker caught my eye this week.

Jefferson Farfan.

What do you reckon?

Farfan is a quality player, but a Chelsea mate of mine reckons he's theirs as and when they want him. Not sure he's high profile enough but then again Kalou wasn't

He's the type of striker that would play well with Kuyt, or someone with Kuyts supportive talents

I've said it before but I would take Huntelaar out of anyone currently even remotely available

[Joey Jones]

Also, Rafa has tried 4-3-3 a few times so if he uses this, then you would need 5 strikers to cover it. A striker who can play on the wing would be useful cover.

I can only remember the matches against Everton and Watford as the only times RB has selected Crouch/Bellamy/Kuyt to start a League match, so it's hardly a regular occurrence.

[Joey Jones]

Farfan has always flattered to deceive for me. I'd sell as many players as we can afford to to riase the cash and buy 2 if not 3 goalscoring strikers, and 1 (if not 2) top class winger.

Alves
Villa / Eto'o / Henry (you may laugh but there's rumours that Wenger will let him go for £18m)
Huntelaar / Klose
Giles Barnes

Sell:
Dudek
Kewell
Le Tallec
Pongolle
Fowler
Bellamy
Crouch
Cisse
Pennant
Zenden
Garcia (maybe to raise funds)
Carson (maybe to raise funds)

That's 12 players (and wages off the books)

I'd probably agree with you with the players I've highlighted.

Eto’o has just been taken off at half time in the Barca v RM match, so obviously things aren’t going too well for him there so it could be a possibility that he’ll be out of there by the start of next season. I’d love to see him at Liverpool.

Two attacking midfielders/wingers should be the priority in the summer.

The question is...who ?

Navas ? Quaresma ? Lennon ? Vicente ?

Ribery is the one I think.
Cut for the premiership.
Dynamic, direct, full of desire and tricks.
Never stops running either.

[tomasjj]

can i throw Yakubu into the picture?

No, rather throw him out of the window.

[tomasjj]

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

My concerns exactly. Etoo a diva, Villa a bit shortarse.

can i throw Yakubu into the picture?

Boro would have won today if Yakubu and Viduka weren't so incredibly fat/lazy/unfit.

[Marky]

True but they're quality at the same time Jamo lad.

[Redlife]

Boro would have won today if Yakubu and Viduka weren't so incredibly fat/lazy/unfit.

I've never seen anyone stumble as much as Yakubu did in that game tonight. It was bizarre.




Viduka looked drunk he was so disinterested looking.

[kurtangle01]

Yakubu is not good enough for us. Never has been and never will be. He's quite possibly more overrated than Luis Saha which is saying something.

[Diego]

Alves on the right and Kewell on the left. Rafa have already signed up a backup(Leto) if Kewell won't be fit enough.

as much as i want kewell to get back to his form, i just can't see it, with his huge wage bill and constant injuries i'm not sure he'll be here next season...

but i'd love to see quaresma, i've been raving about him for years, and if he has got his attitude straight, he'd be a class pick signing...

[Joe Le Toff]

Maybe Voronin is multi-purpose...seeing as he does play on the wing every so often. Seeing as he is free I doubt Rafa will care too much if Voronin isn't overly happy.

I think Voronin will be more of a utility player as he can also play LM as well as that in the hole role that Luis plays sometimes, so i think hes more cover for that than as a striker per se.

Completely agree, Viduka's performance was very strange....

[Red Chilli]

Swap CISSE for Berbatov

Spurs have always had a sniff around Cisse.
In fact I'd be willing to swap Cisse plus one of Bellamy or Crouch for Berbatov.

[Shaggy]

Yakubu is not good enough for us. Never has been and never will be. He's quite possibly more overrated than Luis Saha which is saying something.

I dunno. I don't want us to sign him but since 2003, taking Henry out of the equation Yakubu has been the most prolific goalscorer in the Premiership.

Can't argue with that. He's a very good goalscorer.
