    Name i havent seen mentioned yet. With Machester City looking to reduce their wage bill and offload squad players I wonder if the striker Jo has been mentioned in the boardroom when looking at recruiting new forwards, hes a damn sight better than Ngog. Hes tall, skillful and quick. It just hasn't happened for him at Man City with there turnover of players making it difficult for him. He had an impressive goalscoring record in Russia before coming to England and still only 24 I think could flourish at a club like safc. With citeh keen to shift players out I think we could get a bargain in Jô.

    Never seen mentioned yet...

    Maybe that say's it all, easy tp pick random names that are not getting a chance at their clubs, but could do a good job.

    I'll start. Solomon Kalou....Chelsea.

    But then that's Citeh all over they offered player's silly over the top salaries to attract them to the club in the first
    place.

    I'd rather put my 6 year old up front than have Jo. He's terrible.

    Yeah, sooner or later it will bite them in the arse and they'll be desperate to lower the wage bill and hopefully bargains to be had.

    Jo?


    Please tell me you were just bored when you wrote this or still half asleep from last night? Jo is the epitome of everything that is wrong with modern footballers.

    A vastly over paid, extremely average, totally uninterested footballer player.

    I'd take N'Gog over him and I desperately dont want him at all either.

    A certain Mr. Defoe may be looking to leave Spurs... <whistle>

    Jo is a literally a rich man's Ngog. Wouldn't have either if I had a choice in the matter.

    Would rather we got Murphy back for 10mil than Jo or N'gog for that matter both poor players who flatter to decieve.

    Jô 23 goals in 54 games for Corinthians, 44 goals in 77 games for Cska Moskow. That ain't too shabby.

    Think the guy would get a nosebleed if he was to leave north of Watford, though I would rather see Defoe instead of
    Crouch.

    Wouldn't be surprised to see Defoe at somewhere like QPR if he was wanting to leave.

    Sid, that's true but he's proved he can score goals when playing regularly. I just think he could be a diamond up here. and like I said still only 24.

    True Parker, it could work out for someone prepared to take a chance on him. But it's a very expensive-looking bet!

    Who knows, Man City have £30m in wages a year to shifts. They could be prepared to sell low. I'm sure he'd know he couldn't get the wages anywhere else that he's on there. I'm not sure what he's on though.

    I think those stats there only include league goals. not cups and european competition.
