strikers ?

tadpole · August 20, 2008

So who is Moyes hoping to get in as replacement for Johnson ? Since the fiasco over Vagner Love, we've not really been linked with any strikers. There are obvious obstacles. Spurs and Man City are both desperate to sign a top striker, and are being linked with everything that moves. Top Premiership strikers don't come cheap, and few clubs will be willing to let their star asset go now that the new season is under way.

We've been linked all summer with Diego Milito but I don't recall any reports of offers made for him or any other striker.

So who realistically can we sign up in the next 12 days as a possible partner for Yakubu ?

i'm worn out from talking about transfer targets. mcbain made a list before of targets we are after. it was so long is was amusing.

Well according to the ever reliable football-rumours over the past 3 days we are meant to be signing either:

Love (loan), Adriano (loan), Owen, Milito, Shevchenko (loan), Smith, Saviola (loan) erm...i think thats all...

...Doubt we would get any of them tbh.... :lol:

shevchenko on loan? why do they even bother with stories like that.....

We should just go for someone like Ebanks-Blake. Not amazing but young and talented and could do a job.

How long have we got to get players in, when does the window shut?

Thank [Poor language removed] for that. I was worried one might bid for Yakubu.

I think we will get a reasonably unheard of striker much like Pienaar was, without much notice beforehand.

now that is the sort of signing wish we had made. a quality player with loads of potential. how much do wolves want? 5-8 million?

I doubt it, 3-6 million I reckon. Lescott was there best player and he went for 5 million. The problem is now it's so late they'd probably higher the price, so your probably right.

Totally agree, think he would do a really good job for us (y)

Strikers go for more than defenders and he is clearly their best player now, i have a few friends who are Wolves fans and they inform me that he is a big name around the town, his family is quite big and they are a bit rough. So i would say hes pretty settled and cant see him being anything less than 6-8m.

Your probably right, I doubt we'd get him anyway.

What happened with Darren Bent?
Know before it didn't seem like a great option with Love or Milito, but with little to be heard from them lately we're kinda clutchin straws.
anyone interested?

Not at the money Spurs will want for him, which would be something near what they paid.

It always seemed a great option to me, but with them not signing Arshavin or any other striker, i doubt we will get him now..
