Baggio Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Are there? In the 2-3 mill range? Ready to play straight away? Where has this price range come from? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Are there? In the 2-3 mill range? Ready to play straight away? Where has this price range come from? That's what i was thinking. Hopefully that money would just boost our Kitty and help push through deals for already identified strikers. I would be very disapointed with Healy or Nugent. Leroy Lita, wouldn't be a bad shout though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Where are the reports coming from that he's in Liverpool for a medical? http://www.shieldsgazette.com/nufc/Alan-Smith-on-his-way.4368383.jp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I think Keegan will go for Eren Derdiyok as a replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 We should try and get someone on loan tbh, someone like Bobo, and pay them £1M for the loan fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I can't say i'm convinced by Nugent like. I know he hasn't had a run of games at Portsmouth, but i don't think he is capable of being a good standard Premiership striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I think Keegan will go for Eren Derdiyok as a replacement. Would like to think so. Fits the bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sniffer Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Nugent knocked back 5 mill from Ipswicha s he didn't want to step down. Pompey want to move him so IMO, an offer in the 3 mill range might get him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustynrg Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Surely buying Nugent would just be replacing one dud for another. If he isn't good enough for Pompey why would we want him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Surely buying Nugent would just be replacing one dud for another. If he isn't good enough for Pompey why would we want him? Like Bellamy wasn't good enough for Coventry. Sometimes its the wrong club for the wrong player. Haven't seen enough of Nugent to say whether he would stand a chance up here, or be a 'Bellamy type catlyst' for us, just making the point that sometimes a club and player just aint good for eachother Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Why are people suggesting Nugent? Did last season not exist or something, he was woefully gash. Pompey signed Baros to stop him from playing - says it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Should go for a young striker wanting to make a name for themselves like Steven Fletcher from Hibs. Would be on about 1/5th of Smith's wages I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 He needs replacing in terms of the squad though, we simply can't rely on Owen and certainly Viduka. I'd prefer a young player than a cheapo though. And Nugent is too old, eh Dave? Where did I say that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick, strong in the air and a quality left foot. Nugent is shite imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I was just thinking, relating to the comments KK has been making over the last week on transfers saying definitely two, maybe we're selling Smith as he's already closing in on a replacement?

Yorkie Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 What the hell is this business with people coming out with stuff like Healy, Lita and Nugent? I thought the idea of signing another striker was to get one that would be first choice, knocking everyone else (namely Viduka) one slot down the starting ladder? Not letting one gash player go, and signing a brand new fourth choice... Darren Bent please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not letting one gash player go, and signing a brand new fourth choice... Darren Bent please. Because when you've spent £26m on your first 3 choice strikers, paying them combined probably in excess of £200k a week...logistically it might not be possible.

furney89 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 can't believe people are comparing nugent to bellamy, two very different players with different attitudes and ability we need someone who is hardworking and hungry, as a previous poster said, someone who is young would fit this bill as they have something to prove tbh, if smith leaves, i think we will struggle to get any strikers in as i don't think they were prepared for it, and its taken us ages to get some defenders in and that was top of the bill with andy johnson leaving, it gives everton abit more money to sign both moutinho and a little left over possibly for a backup striker...aka smith lets hope!
