Striking options - or lack of

[Kenneth]

So in your opinion, selling a proven 28 year old premiership striker without a replacement hasn't weakened us?
Mad.

Yes, that's my position anyway.

And the lack of all the offfield crap that was building up around him will probably be beneficial.

If thats the case then fair enough, however, if Rafa has done this without a replacement, then its just another stupid decision to add to several over the last month.

He must have a player lined up as he has already shown he hasn't confidence in Babel yet. Realistically Babel is the only other option up top.

we have babel. he can now stake a claim to be a striker. surely rafa will give him a chance up top now keanes gone.

Well to quote Rafa "we now don't have as many possabilities"

Lets not blow this "offfield crap" out of proportion. 99% bull**** and rumour I reckon as it normally is.

[magicalbarnes]

Well it looks like we aint going to sign anyone now as surely we would be doing a medical?

[Shaggy]

Thank **** you lot haven't seen the speculation about who's coming to replace him

You mean the Radio City report claiming we're bringing Voronin back? They make some outlandish claim every deadline day (we're signing Sol Campbell!)...always wrong.

I hope he takes the chance with both hands
