    Ahh, well that is true at times.

    Babel is very raw, but if you're going to spend 11.5M on him, you might as well play him. Especially considering the alternatives.

      I can see where you're coming from there, we really could do witha poacher, we do create a lot of chances, but we dont put them away often enough.

        I think ideally what we need is someone like Saha (pre-injury) who had good movement but limited it mostly to around the box, had pace and a decent finish but was capable of linking up and joining in the build up. I don't think Rafa would ever be happy with a pure poacher.

          Agreed. Pipe dreams. And McCarthy is a non-starter, especially with Blackburn still annoyed with us for pinching Bellamy off them.
          I'm playing all the right notes. Not necessarily in the right order. I'll give you that, sunshine.

            Adebayor would probably go for less than £20m, £15m would be my guess.

            Just believe and you never know what will happen.

            According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

                McCarthy is a decent player but also a self confessed Scummer.

                Haven't seen Aguero this season but I've never previously understood the hype. Can someone please explain it to me ?

                  Aye. He's brilliant.

                  Admittedly I've only seen him a handful of times, but he possesses pretty much everything we lack in the 2nd striker department.

                  I've lifted this from Tim Vickery's BBC Sport column.

                  What do you think of Sergio Aguero and how important do you think he will be for Argentina and how will he develop in the future?

                  A truly sensational little striker - the wonderful two goals he scored last week for Atletico Madrid in the Uefa Cup reinforced my view that he's the closest thing I've seen to Romario - terrific lower body strength, pace and skill in tight spaces, cool finishing and can link the play too.

                  He obviously has a huge future with the senior Argentina side. He's in the squad though he's not yet first choice.

                  In the recent World Cup qualifiers the best things I saw from the Argentina attack was when he came on against Chile - I thought he linked up with Messi better than Tevez had been doing.

                    but my point is that these were bought for considerably less and all had quality......so there are plenty out there that we should be able to find as well

                        Well I certainly respect TV's opinion as he normally knows what he's talking about (please God can he be right about Lucas).

                        I have to say Aguero must have improved 50% this season because I think I saw all the Athletico games on Sky last year and he looked very much work in progress. Haven't watched any Spanish footie yet this time round hence my knowledge gap.

                        Only thing is didn't he go for £17 million or thereabouts ?

                        If so £17m + rave reviews = Very inflated fee.

                            His performances this season have been far better than last. He's starting every week for Atletico and, I think, is their top scorer.

                            He did go for about £17m. Apparently he has a buyout clause of £22m. We should pay it. We won't, but we should.

                              Aguero for 22mill is the way to go.
                              Nah. He won't win the Prem. You can quote me on that. - Sarb24

                                How many would sign Messi for £22m?

                                Aguero is more or less as good as him. The difference is that Messi has played in Europe for seven years and Aguero for two years.

                                Messi is still the better player but Aguero is catching up very quickly.
                                Just believe and you never know what will happen.

                                According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.
