Nay, Nay and thrice Neigh! If its knackered ancient strikers we want WTF's wrong with Del Piero? Foreign, decent name, loves a bit of the old anti-pasti and has great hair to boot??
Even Dyer is/was on 5-10K per week on PAYP. We may be rich but we shouldn't recklessly throw money around just because a recognised name becomes available. If we got him then it would have to be a last-minute we need some decent cover thing (all of which would leave me feeling a bit underwhelmed). Probably help TF market the club in Asia more than help us. Good player and great scoring ratio but he'd miss more games to injury than Cisse has to suspension.
No, no and no. The last thing we need is an old, injury prone player on massive wages. As someone else said, get Rhodes and he would cost about the same as Owens wages alone and we might be able to sell him on for a massive profit too.
80k a week? I doubt he'd be after that. He's not even on that now. PAYP is the only option to protect the club. No risk - No fee.
News just in... After being released by Manchester United, Michael Owen says that he has no plans to retire and is looking for a new club to be injured for in time for the new season.
He wil score goals but also get injured. Wouldn't be a problem if we didnt have the 25 man squad rule. 5 years ago defo yes, now just not worth loosing a named player spot over...
