Alfonso Alves / Eto'o

[Johnny]

Zlatan betters him.

In the EPL,Who`s to say?,I`d rather kepp Crouch>

I could not disagree more, but hey.

[captainfog]

I thought you were hinting that there was more chance (if only slight) that he would join for us

my mistake

I mean Arsenal

I'm not having a good evening

Anyway, you know what I mean and we both both agree Liverpool v Arsenal debate

[Johnny]

I could not disagree more, but hey.

I`d rather stick with an EPL proven Striker and bring in Tevez and Henry!!!!

if crouch could move with a ball and strike it with consistency, he would be heaven on earth

He has other attibutes which we need!!!!!

[Kopite_Colin]

He has other attibutes which we need!!!!!

He has other attributes which we have needed in a LFC side which has had poor-performing attacking players in the squad to date.

That's not to say we still need those same attributes if we were to go out and but better players, if we have the money available.

For example, I would sell Crouch, IF our striking line-up next year was:

Kuyt
Owen
Eto'o
Klose / Huntelaar
Tevez

I don't for one minute think we'll achieve that line-up, but we do need 2 true goalscoring strikers- at least one with pace

so I'd settle for

Kuyt
Owen
Eto'o / Villa
Crouch
Tevez

Zlatan is better than Crouch, anyone who doesn't think that hasn't seen that much football but Crouch has much better mentality and that evens things up.

Zlatan would also probably cost £50m+ to sign so I would keep Crouch and spend the money on other players.

I know he gonna be expensive, but 50m+ is way over the mark for me.

I dont think anyone would pay more then 30m for him.

Maybe another option...

Lyon to splash out on AC Milan striker Gilardino
tribalfooball.com - May 13, 2007

Olympique Lyon are chasing AC Milan centre-forward Alberto Gilardino.

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas is ready to push the boat out to crack the top echelons of the Champions League and knows Gilardino is set to become available in the summer, says France Football.

Rossoneri management could be convinced to sell the Italian for a knockdown £10 million and Aulas is ready to also match the player's £15,000-a-month wages.

Anyone who thinks Ibrahimovic is worth 30-50 million is Swedish.

Ibra plays for Inter.

He has been outstanding this season.

He is on a long term contract.

Inter doesn't need to sell.

Maybe Inter wouldn't be willing to sell him but no one in the world would pay £30m+ for a player with a dodgy attitude.

Cheap option

The only way Eto'o will be going to Arsenal is via a player exchange. I suppose they could get bought out by a billionaire too but that's not likely.

If Arsenal want Eto'o they'll have to give Barcelona Fabregas or Toure plus loads of cash. Henry would have been the other exchange option but after Arsene said he won't be going I don't think he'll be going.
Eto'o to Arsenal won't happen IMO.
