    I like him, 8m is steep considering he's unproven at this level, would rather have erdinc for a similar price

    Put in a £5m bid and see what happens. I like the look of him and we have to accept just how overinflated transfer fees are at the minute.

    Agree, 5m seems more realistic

    I'd take him for sure, we've supposedly got around 8m for a striker set aside anyway.

    I'd rather have him than Erdinc for that kind of fee

    Long - £6.5m
    Warnock - £3m
    Bassong - £4m
    Barnetta - £6m
    Clyne - £2m
    Beckford - £3m
    Rose - Barton

    OUT
    Barton - Rose
    Enrique - £12m
    Ranger - £1m
    Smith - £500k

    Net spend - £11m (wages roughly the same)

    Not ideal but trying to be realistic I'd be satisfied with that.

    Of course he is 25 goals in each of the last two years, Carroll only got 19 in a team that got 102 points.

    West Hams initial offer was £6M with extras wasn't it? a few weeks ago? unless that was all paper crap again ... was turned down anyway (allegedly)

    We should be seriously looking at players like this - age is right, determination and attitude looks right - 25 goals in a slightly above average Championship side is good going £6m at a push I would say!
