Not an accountant. We made sort of £14m profit on Bent - if we have been told the truth, £20m profit on Henderson. Cana (remember him?) cost us nowt, etc etc. I personally cant afford £12 let alone £12m, but as a club, what exactly is £12m now? Half a B£NT? So go for it. A third of a Carroll? OK! You could always offer £10m for a spud who has already knocked us back once. x
Is he any better than Noble. give our own a chance. i'd back Noble to have scored more if he,d been playing in the championship for ipswich last season
A very good point Bill. We seem to have forgotton the likes of Noble and Lynch, who we know, are very capable strikers that need games to improve further.
.... But haven't been given that chance, or snapped up by Championship teams. Why? Buy the boy. Show our intent. Or, offer Noble as a straight swap. OK?
IF we land Whickham, give him the year with us to bed in, while we offer Noble out to a championship team for a REGULAR starting place, (loan him with the alleged condition that Fergie imposed on us with welbeck) and then when Noble comes back, Whickham should be a first team regular and Noble will (if he's progressed in the right way, be in the position to become prefered third striker). I rate Noble and seriously think he can do a real job for us.
