Ladies and Gentlemen. Whichever way you look at it Saha is a bad signing. Wasted money for one year of 10 goals at best. Get real. x
If it's a one year contract on about 20 a week and he scores 10 goals would you consider it a bad signing?
I am happy enough, not really amazing but can still do a job and at this stage we need some options up front and this will probably be a stop gap until Wickham gets up to speed, I still have high hope for that lad, he is 18 after all, plenty of time to come good.
Yep. A proven Premier League performer, who as well as scoring goals & creating goals, will help develop Connor & Ji, for nowt, sounds an awful signing... Get a ****ing grip man!
Apologies for the Newcastle comparison, but I remember when we signed Kilcline. Brilliant player for a year for us, same with Gallagher form Blackburn. Horses for courses, probably better than what you have now. Nowt to lose in my eyes like.
Saha will be a great addition to whichever other striker we sign - and rest assured, we will sign another striker before the window closes. Think of Saha as a very cheap loan signing. I reckon he's easily good for 5-10 epl goals this season.
Spot on MM. He'll also knock a few is while he's at just for good measure. Some will never be pleased regardless of whose brought in
If we end up with Saha, Fletcher, Campbell, Ji and Wickham I will be happy enough. If we lose Campbell I think we will need another signing as I can see Ji or Wickham doing much this season and Saha will definitely get an injury at some point.
louis saha ‏@louissaha08 I'm on my way to discuss with Sunderland. No monies have been discussed because he's coming up now. 9 minutes ago....
NMG - What about the fact that he used to play for Newcastle? Does that not piss you off as well?! My 2 pence worth - He knows where the goal is that's for sure!! He's a free agent so costs nothing up front and if he's on £40k a week I'll be very surprised unless it's a pay as you play deal in which case then it's a good invetment IMO
Berbatov is an expensive Kenwyne Jones IMO - OK so he has more ability but he will certainly not work hard to puthimself about for the cause. Our fans will hate him if he doesn't put in 100% unless he's scoring regularly (Which I don't think he would for us personally)
