    Why does eveyone associate 20million strikers with goals
    You have to look at the situation now, we need someone who will do it in the premiership this season, not next season, not half way through from the off.

    Man united can wait a few seasons for Nani and Andersson to develop, we cant really.
    Owen and gudjohnson looks like the best option to me, maybe Teves but we need to stop looking at price tags andd start looking at attributes and players logically.

      What is this obsession with transfer fees? It's no guarentee of success.
      Generally, you get what you pay for. There are obvious exceptions, of course.

      I don't want us to spend money for spending money's sake - but it's clear we need a top striker and those top strikers we should be in for will all cost upwards of £20m.

        No, it is no guarantee, but it reduces the risk. We need 2-3 game-changing players to go into the 1st team immediately & take the pressure off Stevie to produce every game.

        Expensive players are that price for a reason- their quality is proven & apparent & therefore everyone wants them. Whilst there is no guarantee that they will adapt to the Prem/ Pool, it is a lot more realistic to think they will than someone who has not proven themselves at all.

          Hmmm, I'm not sure. I think it reflects on the manager and his scouts.

          Look at Arsenal, the vast majority of their signings are bargains and sold at a good profit. They have had flops but they are the minority. The reason he buys so many bargains is that they spot the potential earlier than others and nurture it properly.

            I am looking at the players & that is their price tags rather than the other way round.

              Obv.

              It's not like we dont all know what the problem is, it's been the same for years.

              We need one world class, fast, exciting, striker and one top quality creative, goalscoring attacking midfielder/winger.

              We DONT need a bunch of freebies and second rate squad players.

              Eto'o and Quaresma would solve most of our problems, in my opinion.

              Bent and Malouda will just add to the existing problem.

                    Well yeah, but that's Arsenal. We have different needs. In any case, we are investing in lots of potential but we also need to bring in some proven quality.

                      Speak for yourself. I, personally, do NOT want a club which throws stupid money at the transfer market. I don't want to try and outspend Chavski. I want our success to be earned not bought. So if you must make statements about DIC, do it from your own perspective and don't use words like "we" when doing it.

                      No need to use F words mate.......i am equallly fustrated as everyone here of all the BS the tabloids have been reporting this past week. All i want is to put an end to this and that can be done by the owners. At least shed some light with regards to what amount of money we ahve at out disposal or strike a deal that would shock us.

                      They did mention that its player specific so why not sign a player that would make us drool. The only reason i said that the DIC would have bought any player they have the money and would have made an intent that we mean business, hell i might be wrong.

                      Anyway i am just hoping everything soothes out and we can all enjoy our summer break.

                          We cannot afford to nurture talent to the detriment of our 1st team though. We will just fall further behind on the pitch & therefore off it which will perpetuate the decline.

                              I don't see the cause and effect. There is no detriment to the first team, the first team continues as it is.
                              Why will we fall further behind if we nurture players?

                                One thing though. Dave Usher mentioned some tension between our new owners and then it appears in the papers. No way could Usher have see those stores in the press before he posted. Gillett and Hicks falling out is a seemingly new twist to an already bad situation.

                                I guess it's a case of wait and see but there's no doubt we've had our hopes raised by statement made by G & T.

                                The coming months will be interesting to say the least.
