    BBC mentioned that we are in for Bruma of Galatasaray, battling Chelsea, Everton and West ham for him.

    Looks good as he is only 19 at about £8 million

    £8m for Bruma or £7m for Assaidi? Thoughts?

    I don't know really, haven't seen Bruma, although I do think Assaidi is over priced at 7 million given the length on his contract.

    Yep, not sure he's quite worth the 7m Liverpool want, but he's already had a good season for us. I'd prefer to overspend slightly on him than spend the same on someone unproven in the Prem.

    100% correct Sandor.

    THAT goal against Chelsea was worth £7 mill by itself.

    I think 7 million is a bargain, I really rate the lad

    I think we are unanimous that we want him, so it just comes down to the pennies. I suppose it's a case of what he is worth to us against what someone else is willing to pay. I'm assuming nobody else is in for him?

    If they are not...they should be.
    I honestly think that with Arnie, Assiadi and Odemwingle up AM's and Upfront next season that we could very well improve on 10th place

    I couldn't find anything more substantial when I looked earlier.

    Bugger...had my hopes up for a moment.

    Always gave 1005 and that is admirable, he played to his max potential.

    Nothing personal, he has been a 'good un' for us, but time to move on methinks, and good luck to him.

    Now then, how about the rest

    Could never fault his effort but in a league where goal chances can be few he didn't convert enough of the chances that came his way.

    And therein lies the problem.

    To be fair JM, that applies to (say) 75% of strikers in the PL.
    That's why Suarez & co cost Zillions
