selling our forwards

[kopash]

I'd agree with Parm's list.

Assuming Arbeloa takes over from Finnan as RB in the summer we need 2 new strikers, a left winger, a left back (assuming Insua cannot step up) and a centre back.

what do ya think we would get for them - obviously torres is not included cos we all want him to stay

crouch - 9 mill
kuyt - 7 mill
voro - 3 mill


does this not show who is the best out of them ?

What the **** .. has your kid brother hacked your PC mate

[AFII]

its not as simple as just selling all the forwards.

we do need another forward as good as Torres, but you still need at least 4 strikers.

Why would we need four strikers? Fowler was our fourth striker last season and he almost never played.

It's better to have three strikers in the first team and if we really need a fourth one then Rafa should give one of our young strikers a chance.

2 new strikers like David Villa, Huntalaar, Anelka or some other top striker like them and a playmaker like Diego thats what we need sell Kuyt,Crow, and Crouch

[The Erectile Banana]

I don't think we need two new strikers as I don't see how you could keep three top strikers happy and sharp.

One new striker to play with Torres, keep Kuyt and Voronin as backup and sign a top class playmaker, which is what we have really been missing for a long time.

I think at least one you mentioned have to go.

Ok one striker and playmaker that we really need would be fine, id be happy

Well we could sell one of them and use babel as a striker, but then we'd need a new winger aswell.

We need a new winger for a long time mate not had a great winger since Macca and before that Barnes

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

I'd keep Crouch as a squad player and as a different option.

The other two can **** off.

Fed up with second rate forwards being deemed good enough because they work hard.

Lets have some real ****in quality to play with Torres.

[andyinswinton]

Trouble is with Crouch is that he doesn't offer something different when he comes on.

He'd be great to throw on with 20 minutes to go (are you listening Rafa!) and just bang some long balls to him for knock downs etc. The only problem is that Crouch's goalscoring record when he comes on is very poor. If he improved that part of his game he would be worth a place in the squad.

Kuyt and Voronin can go now for me. We need goals from our strikers and leave the midfield to do the hard work.

Agree that it would be good to keep Crouch as a squad striker, but I`m pretty sure we have to cut our losses with him now. There have been several instances this season where we have been desperate for a goal, and Rafa has brought on ANYONE but Crouch.

Stating the obvious I know, but the lad is 100% gone, either in Jan or the summer.

Totally agree with you though - FFS get someone with pace and class to play up there with Torres (easier said than done, admittedly)
