If we can't buy anyone better then I suppose it wouldn't do any harm to loan him for 6 months. 33 years old so no chance we would want to buy him.
Think he's well and truly past it. Definitely at his best in a Liverpool shirt I loved watching him. Proper CF
Not a chance I'd want him here even only for 6 month's, look at last time we signed some old school past it ex-worldy striker - Doumbia and Shefki Kuqi - yeah I put them in the same bracket... People clamoring for Evra and Torres? Can we go for Pirlo and Drogba as well?
Its a bit uninspiring. He is better than Joselu though. I have sympathy with the club as finding strikers is not easy. Quality leaders at the back and guys who can bag you 20 goals a season are like rocking horse ****.
His record at Atletico wasn't terrible, but since Chelski he's been more link-up man than finisher. Possibly what Rafa's after, but I think he's desperate for a clinical finisher. **** it, buy him and get Xabi Alonso out of retirement Maybes give Gerrard and Carragher a call n all.
Apparently Juan Mata is now set for a reunion with Rafa as he has praised Rafa and the club meaning a Jan move is on the cards... TBH this is now our 3 problem positions sorted LB - Evra, AM - Mata, CF - Torres. While those three would be welcome additions I don't think the vets team really need any more reinforcements.
With 500million to spend I think we should be looking for something better. I would take Mata as a squad player but replace Evra with Alex Sandro and Torres with Aubameyang.
And when Mike's still hers come January we'll end up with a plucky young LB called Patrick Nevra-Played-Before, a new tea lady called Sandra and a one-way ticket for Benitez to Torrid Afghanistan
I honestly think January will come and go and we wont have a new owner and we wont have any new players, we will get relegated. Then Dennis Wise will exit 'Im a celebrity please give me some much needed publicity and attention' and due to his new found fame after eating kangaroo bollocks will be reunited with fat mike. Becoming our next manager and Mikes bumming buddy! Pessimistic... me..... NAH!
My glass was half empty but I drank it. Therefore we're stuck with Ashley, going buy nobody, sell all our best players and get relegated.
