Nope. Just pointing out the reality of trying to sign the ' number 9 ' some people hope we will get and the reality that it won't happen.
For once I'm not disappointed that we've had a bid turned down, my only fear is we'll go back with a higher offer. I honestly don't think Walters is any better than what we have, has it really come to this ? Are we really that desperate to recruit ?
I actually don't think Walters would be a bad signing. Bags of determination, a few goals here and there. I wouldn't have a problem with it.
Yes, but is he better than what we have ? Ok, probably netter than Grabban but AN seems to like him so he's probably going nowhere.
I agree, he may not be the big, fancy sounding name so many seem to be craving for, but I personally think he could be a very clever, astute addition myself. Bags of experience, good player as well so if we can pick him up for a couple of million I think it would be excellent business
Fully agree as long as we can get RvW and Hooper - plus their combined earnings of £72k a week - off the books at the same time.
I think he's better than all apart from Jerome. Hooper would probably be a better finisher, but AN doesn't play him. So I think he'd be second best striker at the club. With tones of premiership experience and a decent amount of goals.
Supers quit the melodramatics and get on with the football mate, you're starting to sound like Paul Lambert One question for you, realistically how strong is our scouting network on the continent? Is it as week as it was under Lambert? We seem to sniff around players but I don't buy into it entirely, especially considering Lee Darnborough was buying plenty of 'exotic' players for Burnley.
Alen Halilovic has joined Sporting Gijon on loan. Never heard of that club. Was linked with the likes of West Ham and Everton. I would have loved a loan of him!
Seen a rumour on the BBC gossip website that the Mirror is saying we've had a £14M bid for Charlie Austin turned down - http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/norwich-end-interest-charlie-austin-6296896. I'm not sure he's the answer to our striker problem, as quite a few of his goals last season were penalties!!!!!
Probably the most daft rumour of the summer so far. Like we'd bid £14m for anyone ! File under "utter tosh".
Surely this is rubbish!? I would absolutely love to get Charlie, he would be perfect! But be willing to spend £14m on one player!? Can't see us doing that unless we were a Premiership team for a good few years. Even if we had sold Turner, Winkle and Lafferty to free up wages and get some Transfer money. To then get him ahead of Spurs etc? Got to be a none story? Doesn't sound like us at all.
I would normally agree BUT we know that AN is looking for a striker and it would seem that not just any old striker will do, it has to have had PL experience - and rightly so in my opinion. I don't think this is totally out of the question at all - it could near as damn it 'guarantee' PL survival.
