    Can't see him ending up at any of the mentioned clubs (including us) .....if he came back to the prem I can see him ending up at West Ham.

    Yes fair enough......I wasn't trying to suggest that we get him to be honest.....it was just a general observation........

    Dzeko is quality, for that reason we definitely won't get him.

    I agree we could do with someone of his class/ experience......but when was the last time we bought anyone that age? I can't think of anyone recently.........because to fit our model we like to have at least some sell on value which of course someone that age would bring very little.

    yes to be fair I was going back a bit...........Keegan was one, wasn't he 31 or so just after he arrived from Germany?? There was a couple of others too...another scouser midfielder whose name I forget....+ others. Alan Ball perhaps Osgood weren't they in late age when we got them?

    The difficulty in getting decent, older players now is that, unlike in the past, they no longer need to extend their playing career to fill up their bank balance, to survive retirement, so no need to step down to smaller clubs.

    The scouser midfielder - i assume you mean Jimmy Case ? A fine player and gave a few good years to Saints, deaf as a door post but what a footballer. In those early 80's teams, that achieved good things and played terrific attacking football we had quite a few older internationals who were playing at a very high level - apart from Keegan and Ball there was Dave Watson, Peter Shilton, Mick Mills, etc.

    I do indeed mean Jimmy Case...and thanks for the reminders for some of the others. We need players of the like imo if we are to do what we want to. That is to be a top 10 team.

    Oh Beddy i would give my back teeth, not that anybody would want them these days, for some players like those guys now ! They were all cultured, skillful but hard footballers and pretty decent guys when out on p... too. Another of that time who would do wonders for our present team was Ivan Golac, bandy-legged football legend that he is ! We also had Spike Armstrong and rank Worthington. When you throw in some of the younger players we had back then like Stevie Williams, Steve Moran, Mark Wright and the later on a bit the Wallace brothers and others - christ we have had some wonderful players and teams who thrashed the best teams in England and Europe on occasion back then. Now im worrying about Bournemouth away on Saturday !

    Championship top goal scorers:
    4 of the top 11 have something in common
    Jay Rodriguez, Billy Sharp, Lukas Jutkiewicz and David McGoldrick.
