Yes please, just the type of striker we need to replace Carroll. i dont know whether we'd be able to get him (although as has been said cash+pl appeal could weigh in) and porto would probably charge way over the odds, so only at a good price.

ah, you mean those clubs that just bought strikers...
I hear they're also interested in N'Zogbia.

Would most definitely take him without a shadow of a doubt, but would be reluctant to spend more than 15m on him I think. Which wouldn't be enough for us to capture him. Bigger teams will be after him, and we probably couldn't afford his wages.
I would most certainly get his name on the back of my shirt if he did come though.

Costly
Since Shearer, I've just stuck with my own name. Never felt safe enough to get another players name on my shirt, just in case. Ha.
He looks like a great striker, the sort of player who likes to intimidate defenders. How old is he?
The kind of names going around this thread (Hulk/Lukaku/Neymar) are far too high profile for us to have a chance of signing imo. They've been known as top talents / potential talents for years and have the bigger, more attractive clubs circling.
Necid or Doumbia, both of CSKA Moscow seem more realistic. 2 young, talented strikers. Will cost ã12-15m though, so doubt it will happen.
Either way, he would be a great signing for ã15m. I bet Porto would be reluctant to sell him though so I could see them demanding ã20m and I bet his wage demands would be very high too. Plus the added fact that he's used to European football, almost makes this a no go.
P.S. His goal to game ratio this season is higher than 1:1. It's about 1.1:1 (19 goals in 17 games one article stated).
Cal - I think that's a reference to me...I did say that they were too far out of reach for us, but someone of that ilk...15-20m for a teenager is a huge amount of money, granted THOSE particular teenagers won't come, but another will...It's a risk, but it's a risk I'd love us to take!
