Taken from elsewhere: Hi, I scored 24 goals helping my side win promotion back to the Premier League aged just 22. Then in my first season in the top flight I had bagged an impressive 15 goals by the end of January. Including a goal against the reigning champions, away at Arsenal and in a home win over Liverpool. My form earned me an England call-up and my debut in an international friendly. Am a I £35M striker? No, I am Michael Ricketts - February 2002.

On loan till the end of the season, 4 million Euro fee agreed. Santon goes on loan the other way till the end of the season. Inter are truly Internazionale. wonder why the fee is so low. 4m is nowt! One less suitor for wor Jose at least

through the "outstanding young talent" rule I presume (like Man Yoo did with Anderson). Any players you could have him mind? Dentinho? Looks a great player but not sure how realistic it is. From Argentina, Rogelio Funes Mori is a very promising striker and speaks English (having grew up in the states). Btw, Blackburn got a bargain in Mauro Formica. Whether it`s a gamble or not, 3m is peanuts....certainly some potential bargains in S.America if we have scouts there. We need Mirandinha, Solano, Acuna on the case!

If that deal comes crashing down, I'll hurt inside. haha, yes it's never going to happen. Too good for us, unfortunately, but if we finish top 6 than maybe who knows. it`s alright.....we have Neymar as our backup plan.

Like the look of him and has adapted to the PL already....definitely an attainable target. Would love to see someone like Radomel Falcao here but doubt if it`s realistic unfortunately. Less so for Hulk who has already been linked with us!

What about the Liverpool fan who changed his name officially to Fernando Torres last month??? KOP fan Shaun: just call me Fernando! LIVERPOOL fan Shaun McCormack got himself a new name for Christmas - and is now called Fernando Torres. The dad of four, 36, changed his name by deed poll to match that of his Spanish football hero. "I did think about changing my name to Steven Gerrard, but I wanted something a little more flamboyant." Shaun, from Scunthorpe, Lincs, is now putting his new moniker on his birth certificate and registering it with his bank. He said his wife Clare and kids found it hilarious, adding: "The only person who hasn't seen the funny side is my mother-in-law. It was worth doing just to see her reaction." http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3318374/LIVERPOOL-fan-Shaun-McCormack-has-changed-his-name-to-Fernando-Torres.html

wouldn`t get a work permit unless he has an EU passport.

what about a Andy Carroll one? I:m sure there will be some nice attempts

Carlton Cole mentioned in the Chronicle as a possible summer replacement....fking hope not

he was out of contract in the summer hence the low price tag.....good bit of business by Besiktas though. They have Simao, Quaresma, Fernandes there too now.

Shearer`s opinion on BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/9383179.stm

Our Saviour has been found, sign him up. need to revive the Luque thread

Guillaume Hoarau - PSG Gervinho - Lille Dmitri Payet - St Etienne Bryan Ruiz - FC Twente

seeing as we're fking desparate....not limiting to just strikers. I know Sibs can pull on his boots again. Adrian Mutu Mauro Camoranesi Edu Frank Wiafe Danquah James Scowcroft

Bothroyd? fk...forgot about him...can see that happening easily

Or do we have him already? Shola #9

Lionel Messi? Sergio Aguero? Lukaku? Diego Forlan? Zlatan? fk all at this late stage ...

8th most expensive signing in history if it goes through.

oh well...Shola will get the number 9 shirt finally

would still probably not get a chance if Carroll is sold....anything official from Depor yet about him signing?

Blackburn to sign Mauro Formica.....great little signing by them. Attacking midfielder, creative ...only 3m quid....

fantastic news. Hope we can keep him and Carroll here for a long time.
