Don't know much about him- looks like he had a decent goal for game ratio last year but in previous years he didn't bag too many. Probably about what you'd expect for a third choice striker.
Seriously? I heard Leicester bid £6.5M for him a couple of days ago so I assume they would have come in for him again. To be honest, i'm stunned Rangers rejected a £9M bid for a player. We all know Scottish clubs don't have that much money and £9M is a lot of money.
Apparently we were very very very close to getting Adam Johnson yesterday but it fell through at the final hurdle. Source: My window cleaner mate
I think now until January will be good time to look at what position we need to strengthen. With the added bonus of selling Meieles and N'gog we may have a nice sum to splash out. I would like Johnson as it would give us a better depth on the wings. Personally the one position i have slight concerns abut is the right wing. Yeah we have Kuyt, Henderson and Gerrard (also Downing) that can play there but i would quite like to see a natural right winger to make that position their own.
Skylarker Good point I know what you mean,its not really obvious where we need strengthening most.Is it wide player,striker,or midfield, the time between now and Jan wil tell us that. I would say right mid, with us havin about 6 players who can play there without any standin out Players we may look at in Jan, Hazard( If Lille knocked out of CL),Honda ( end of Russian season),Griezmann,Moussa Sissoko,Erikksen.I suspect theres no chance of Adam Johnson,not in Jan anyway In other news Glen Johnson training today, should be fit for Stoke
