I see these 2 haven't been picked up by anyone yet....Stephane Sessegnon and Victor Anichebe....

Ehab: "fancy a pay as you play contract lads?"
 
I wouldn't mind Sessegnon, he'd be handy off the bench if nothing else.
If we get Zola in then go for Balotelli, a manager like him would get the best out of the player and if he could find his mojo he's about twice the level of Sessegnon. Balotelli needs a manager that favours him unfortunately and an Italian fella in the Prem could be ideal. A player like that doesn't lose his ability overnight and if anything will have benefitted physically from not playing too much in the last couple of seasons. Lets be realistic, we are not going to get another player of Balotellis calibre so if he's available for us and the right manager is in place we need to get him in.
 
Also anybody critical of Balotelli should realise Hernandez is actually a very similar sort of player who gets the goals but often contributes little else

Balotelli would also be a huge amount more expensive than a Free Agent like Sessegnon.

Balotelli is disruptive, lazy, and not at all interested in a scrap.

If you were watching us home away a lot last season then there were quite a few times Hernandez had very little impact

Ok? Not sure why that means we should bring in more players who can go missing.

I think you are wrong like you were with Zlatan to be honest.

So you think a target man, slow striker is like our striker who relies on his pace to get behind defences?
 
When it comes down to it I'd take Balotelli even if he is crackers over a League One striker like Will Grigg who will emulate Altidore in our team
