Well it said in the Sunday Sun that Sturridge is on our list but we don't want to wait until mid-late August to get our striker. So we still have that option after the Beckfords and Crouchs go away. Our back-up plan is the best one!
FFT's Season Preview for us started like this:
"Who would have thought the Toon Army would ever be satisfied with merely preserving their Premier League status?" Before rolling off a few stereotypes and predicting we'll finish 13th. Pat Nevin says we'll get relegated! What a load of absolute bollocks.
Erdinc's has went from being a regular at PSG (who he supports), to having competition up front (Gameiro) to now being at a club that are buying everything they can get hold of. It's all changing for him, so naturally his willingness to move will change. If he didn't want to join a few weeks ago, it doesn't mean he doesn't want to now - it isn't that linear.
Think people are forgetting how fantastic Tevez was for City last season. On his own up front, he was a monster. It'll be very hard to replace, although Aguero does have exceptional talent. Its great to have him in England.
Although it would've been good to see him rip them a new one, you just know Clattermole would've crippled him. He'd make it his mission. And this way we get Shola up front with Ba!
