Jeez it's hard to say. At the top end there's several actually available this summer martinez, Higuin, benzema and Tevez are all reputably available. Then theres rvp and falcao and similar moving around. Then there's the dzeKos out there to. The reason Lacazette and vietto are favoured is I think they are young and should be hungry. All in all any of the above including Utd cast offs would improve us by miles. There is a reason why benteke is prob looked at as a guy who will be available but the top 4 here won't be in for him particularly. God knows who is our link tbh
I'm trying to keep faith in a few we have bought. I like to think Markovic and Moreno will be better next season. Unfortunately I think Lovren will not improve. If Ballotelli stays he can't do any worse and I think if rogers went with a two up top him and Origi could have the same effect that Balotelli and Sturridge had in the spurs game. Whether that would be enough to get top four with Sterling looking set to leave remains to be seen but I would rather take it game by game and focus on the positives. One things for sure this season has been depressing.
There's no doubt the fa s were united in never wanting hodgson and then wanting him gone asap. Rodgers is more dividing. If I had my way he'd be gone already. He is a spoofer.
Obviously more so than Woy, majority wanted rid of him because he was as bad a fit for our club as Mario!
I actually think Falcao would be a very good player with the pace we have around him. I would be very happy with him.
I agree although it's a gamble I'd happily take given our current situation. Beggars can't be choosers and we certainly are beggars right now.
Saints (£50m); Lovren, Lallana & Lambert Newcastle (£35m); Carroll Sunderland (£26m); Henderson & Migs Villa (£20m); Downing Swansea (£15m); Allen Blackpool (£8m); Adam The Sunderland part isn't bad
I'd rather go all out for Tevez. If we can get Falcao then we can get Tevez IMO Least we know Tevez would give 100% every week.
well tevez is imponderable. unitl its tried we cannot tell if he would be interested or not. if he were interested how long would it be for. what would we get out of him and so forth and so on. the basic evidence of the CL this year sas his work rates is as good as ever. the prior evidence of his wife's wishes would be against england in general As a one year deal? I would be saying hell yes. at 31 he's likely only to want a short term move anyway... he will be 32 next feb. maybe 2 years max.
I think there is a common denominator in all our signings its not British = crap. no its we wait unitl someone else takes the biggest part of risk then we go over pay to that club to then get a guy we were interested in originally Lovern a prime example. Markovic too. If both had been 5 mil like they should have been they would not be under such pressure would they? our best signings were.. coutin--- who? hender-who? sker-who? ok ok so it was a bad joke at the sater but seriously they were not bought at the top not over piad for really (henderosn maybe) kovacic will be a great little buy if the price is good.
There wouldn't be a problem if he's playing every week. Issues arose at both Manchester clubs after he was dropped. Without doubt, he'd be first pick for us
Falcoa only struggled because his return from a serious injury was treated wrong. He basically needs to start that come back again with a better medical time in charge.
