I still have vivid memories of him floundering about upfront though. What an awful player he is. Didn't have a bad debut though iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Had a spell upfront with Owen when Keegan first arrived. Was painful viewing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Neil/1878, how would a bid for Billy go down? The lad clearly has talent but doesn't seem to be in Moye's first team thoughts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most fans would be happy to see the back of him as well. Good technique and a great shot on him but spends 99% of his time doing absolutely fuck all. Really slow & weak too.

ponsaelius Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The thing is, Russian clubs are minted so you'd always have an option there to sell him back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I think Vaughan from Blackpool and Jarvis from Wolves would make excellent additions and help retain the side's character, which is as important as signing good players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is "better than anything we`ve got at the moment" good enough for you though? I see names like Kevin Doyle and Fletcher mentioned but I think they are very average players at best. Yes they are a bit better than Shola and Loven but that`s not difficult is it? they haven`t exactly been that impressive goalwise in the Prem League and I do think think we can aim a *little higher* as we have the money (cough ), of course I`m not expecting a Radomel Falcao, David Villa, Higuain through the door either. Not really in favour of us going for a typical English centre forward/target man....rather someone a bit more mobile/pacey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I know I have banged this drum a bit, but with Almería relegated Piatti should go for peanuts, and he's just been called up to the Argentina squad. Apparently Málaga are in talks to get him though, and they are well oiled (pun). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
