oldtype Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 RE: Park Chu-Young His agent has just confirmed that he's turned down offers from Lille and Bordeaux and is saying that they might have "very good news to announce soon." I think it's well within the realm of possibility that we've entered the race now after Erding turned us down. Wouldn't be surprising at all since all our striking targets so far have been French based. That would definitely be under the radar. What's he like? I don't really follow French football. Imagine a Wayne Rooney who can't finish to save his life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Don't know how much he would go for like, maybe we could throw Forster into the deal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 He is Celtic's main striker, don't think he'll be cheap (or for sale for that matter). Wouldn't mind him here tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11701_7088985,00.html Surely Bendtners worth a punt if we haven't got a striker in soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridman Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Ireneusz Jeleń Still available as a free agent. Free, check Injury prone, check Would be on relatively low wages, check His last club was based in French, check Seems to tick all of the Mike Ashley transfer plan boxes.

LooneyToonArmy Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 One player who I think is definitely attainable is Paraguay`s Nelson Valdez (relegated with Hercules)....not exactly a prolific goalscorer but a real workhorse, pace, power, could handle the Prem league and would play well with Ba up front IMO. For 4m euros he should be snapped up.....or try to sneak in a swap with Xisco even. hmm.... Klaas Jan Huntelaar? Actually he hasn`t been so successful at Schalke since he signed (he is 3rd or 4th choice behind Raul / Farfan and Edu). Cost big money but not made the impact. Also like the look of Paolo Guerrero of Hamburg but again not sure if we`d be able to get him (or interested for that matter). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hulk has an £8m buy out Clause surely worth a punt He definitely doesn't. Spurs are also believed to have entered talks with Porto over the possibility of signing Brazilian striker Hulk, who has an £88m buy-out clause in his contract. MY BAD £88M HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA What I get for speed reading... but how is that a buy out claus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest levi914 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 what about nicky maynard? i have not really seen him play much and know about his knee. but his goal to game record is really good. i do think we need some one good though not just a side way move. i still think we could give leon best a real chance. 10 starts 6 goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No coincidence that Dortmund became a world class team the minute he left (he averaged a goal every 7 league games for them), the most wasteful striker I´ve ever seen. edit: fixed the goal/game ratio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 FWIW Nelson Valdez seems to be #1 replacement for Espanyol if Osvaldo leaves, and has refused all other offers he's had so far (dunno why he fancies that scum so much). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
