Problem we have is whoever we approach will know they will be behind Sturridge and fighting with Lambert, borini, Sterling, etc for either a place on the bench or a start alongside Sturridge. Any striker in the 40 to 50 million bracket will want to be 1st choice.

well I would hope we would go for a versatile striker like Sanchez is/was, who can play upfront alone, or next to studge, or on the wing

Any player joining us should have self belief and ambition. No player should be joining us accepting a position as backup to anyone. Therefore, if that is a problem then the player shouldn't be signed IMO.

In addition to that, I don't believe Sturridge is untouchable. I think Lambert will believe he can get in the side ahead of Danny so anyone else arriving should too.
 
People make too much of Balotelli's antics, most of it was just irrelevant **** like giving money to tramps and setting off fireworks in his bathroom, none of our business.

He got a couple of reds for petulance, hardly the first player to do that

The large amount of non-descript performances would be the bigger killer for me.

And to be fair, fighting with the manager on the training fround is sort-of the club's business.

Would you be happy if Arsenal bought him, as has been rumoured?

This. couldn't give a **** about his antics even if they were true. It's his lazy couldn't give a **** attitude on the pitch that's the problem. However, if we aim to win things on penalties we'd be sorted with Gerrard, Lambert and Balotelli. He's an expensive penalty taker <laugh>


Ok guys I'm going to do it.

I just cant keep it in any more.


LETS SIGN THEO WALCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No!
 
Why is it that we seem to get shafted by the media with transfer fees? The beeb and guard always quote our fees including add ons as if it's the price (lovren is actually 16mil and lallana 22mil) yet united and arsenal get their fees stated as the upfront one. Especially how media outlets are emphasising that chambers is 'only' 11 million rising to 16. If it was us it would just be stated as 16mil.

Maybe they don't like us....just a thought!
 
Fred might be available cheap <whistle>

Some rumours say Moreno, Lacazette and Manquillo will finish our summer transfer business.

Would you be happy with that?

Would prefer a bigger name forward but would still be happy if that was the outcome.
Hell, I'd be happy if the team stayed as is with Johnson leaving.
