Nooooooooooonooooooooooooooooonoooooooooooooooonoooooooooooooooo. I really dont see the point in getting an injury prone twat who can only score against us. How many goals has he got in the last 2 years not against us? This would be a terrible, terrible signing along the lines of Barton and SWP.
But hes not, hes on massive wages, he will probably take £6-8m off us and we wont be able to dump him. Id rather go for a younger player on lower wages with some resale value.
Its a rumour, like everything else. It's not your money, why get so wound up about it? Why assume that a 31 year old Fulham sub will be on massive wages and a long contract? Agree with you that he wouldn't be anywhere on my wish list though.
Hes been linked with us time and time again. The possibility of us wasting £6-8m on an awful player doesnt worry you?
TBF as long as I've known flyer he's had the same stance regarding AJ...! Personally not the answer for me...
Oh, how I yearn for the day the Rs unveil an exciting home-grown goalscoring talent again. I want the next Clive Allen, like yesterday.
So true. There's been an absolute drought on any home-growns over the past couple of decades. Was a time when most of the team was made up of home-growns. The 67 League Cup winners comprised seven HGs of the twelve that went to Wembley (Peter Springett, Tony Hazell, Mike Keen, Ron Hunt, Frank Sibley and the Morgan Twins) - and that was as a third tier club. As regards the strikers you speak of, we produced a fair few including the likes of Mick Leach, Alan Wilkes, Clive Allen, Paul Goddard and Les Ferdinand (okay, so we got him from Hayes as a kid...). Sign of the (bad) times eh?!
Might be worth a punt on a free as squad player - scored 11 goals last season (2nd for Fulham), a hat-trick against us.
Hes scored 6 goals in the PL in 3 years and 3 of those were against us and 13 goals in 86 apps for Fulham in the PL. It took him 3 years to score the same amount of goals that it took Cisse to do in 8 games. Awful, awful player.
Totally agree, terrible player. God forbid he comes our way. Finished (if he ever was) a few years ago.
Oh christ please no. A truly awful player with no Pl track record whatsoever. Now that would be awful ambition if we went for him. Absolute joke if we did.
Can't see this happening, more lazy, jackanory journalism. Don't know how they get away with this crap.
