Bellamy to Villa?

[Red Chilli]

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.

He's the Premierships equivalent of David Trezeguet :bird:

I wouldn't shed a tear.

[Lecter]

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.

If the Echo article is true and Voronin is 5th choice only 2 of Fowler, Crouch, Bellamy or Kuyt will be leaving

I'd pay 15m for Obefemi Martins.

Wouldnt give 15p for him

[kubrickscube]

Chelsea will beat any money we'd offer for Villa or Torres. We'd have a better chance with Trezueguet but I wouldn't be surprised if Rafa went after Bent again.

Cisse is a better player than Martins.

Bent would be a better buy for us than Trezueguet, without doubt. Trezueguet contributes NOTHING to overall play and expecting him to adapt to the prem too, I think he would be a flop ala Morientes.

[LadyRed]

You think Martins is a better player then Cisse?

[Reece]

Aye, I do.

Whilst I actually agree with you here, we have plenty of strikers who contribute lots to the team. It would be nice for once to have a striker who simply scores a **** load of goals.

Hmm, you say that but then EVERY striker no matter how good he is, has goal droughts, so you effectively have dead weight thats contributing nothing for games on end. And fair enough if he can deliever and score the goals.

But it doesn't always work out like that, I mean you only have to look as far as Morientes and Sheva to see that it doesn't always transfer over form league to league.

Trezuguet drifts in and out of games in Serie A, one of the slowest leagues going, can you imagine him in the prem?

[LadyRed]

Aye, I do.

Martins is the most technically starved striker ever! He has pace and power and more often that not he doesn't know how to use it.

[Reece]

Sorry I wasn't actually referring to Trez. I don't want him either. I was merely stating I want an out and out goalscorer (we haven't had one since Fowler/Owen), as opposed to someone who "contributes" to the team.

[Reece]

Cisse is the most technically starved striker ever! He has pace and power and more often that not he doesn't know how to use it.

See what I did there?
