morgs 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 i've seen nicky maynard a few times and he seems like a very good player. Seems he would fit the bill as the pacy front man with finishing ability which we dont currently have Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingdawson Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Maynard looks like he can definitely cut it in the premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridman Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 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). He is absolutely shit, a latino Shola. 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...
thomas Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I know it looks like we've got Pieters wrapped up but wondering why we didn't have van aanholt on loan again as a backup plan as well. Anyone know if he is close to getting into Chelseas first team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gash Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Does anybody else think Ashley is recouping all the money he can from players he doesn't want at the club (such as Xisco and Barton) before he knows how much he has to spend on a striker? Expecting a lot of replies of "No, he's a greedy bastard pocketing as much as he can from the sales" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting a lot of replies of "No, he's a greedy b****** pocketing as much as he can from the sales" No I think the majoirty of the targets we had have moved elsewhere or decided to stay put. I think they are exploring other options now but rather than rush in we are actually scouting players which in itself is not a bad thing IMO. I would rather get players in our scouts like than spunk 9m or 6m on players like Luque and Xisco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I fully respect the club's decision to take their time on buying a striker instead of plunking 10m on Jermaine Defoe or something, given that all of our initial targets have told us to fuck off. The left back situation is less commendable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting a lot of replies of "No, he's a greedy bastard pocketing as much as he can from the sales" I'm actually more confident since the sales of Enrique and Routledge that we'll sign a striker. We've freed up a couple of squad places and that increases the chances of replacements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The left back situation is less commendable. Well we have no cover but to be fair to the club we went for the Swansea lad earlier in the summer who signed a new contact, plus we were linked with the french lad and now this lad from Holland. We have to remember we are dealing with humans and they too have a say. In Newcastle's case they would have hoped to have the Swansea lad in the squad by now but it did not come off (and again I would not have wanted them to rush in a buy someone else without doing their homework).
