Guest smoggeordie Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Marlon King could have been worth a punt but hes just signed a new deal this week with Watford. Great shout Aye, a fella who's just been out for a year would solve all our problems. Sometimes on here you see people say "good call" or "great shout" etc just because it's the first time a player has been mentioned. Fair point but sometimes it IS a good suggestion and one which many people may have overlooked/forgotten about. King is an example - not an obvious player to be linked with but one who could, perhaps, do a job if we went for him. Agreed, sometimes it is a "good call" as to say, but 95% of the time it's a load of balls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Gudjohnsen is the man for us. Played for Sam before, talk he could be available in summer. He's exactly what we need- could play with Owen or Martins or you could potentially play them as a three as he can drop in to midfield effectively. Possibly out of our league now but worth a go. Good shout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eyeball_tickler Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 They are a really good team, better than Bayern Munich and we certainly arent. If they werent in the group of death last year with Chelsea and Barca they would have probably got to the last 32. So if he stays at Werder hes playing CL footy if he leaves it'll be to someone better. No chance of him coming here. ambition is futile i see. if we dont replace owen with someone as good or better, then we will be going backwards. people are saying marlon king now. he's been out for a year and has a past history of rather bad behavior, so he'll fit right in.

Keefaz Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I'd take a day off work to have a massive wank if we signed Gudjonsson: rated him forever. Top player and makes things happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eyeball_tickler Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Its not just 2 injuries though is it? He was always missing games before the big injuries through niggles! he managed 7 in 10 before the injury. if he stays fit for at least 25 games he'll get 15+ goals so its well worth having him around. i know you're a viduka fan and the same could be said about him, but it seems nobody wants to have a striker who gets 15+ goals a year but misses maybe 10 games a year.

STM Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 First of all, i dont particularly rate Bent. He's stong and quick which is two extra ticks for Allardyce though. Personally, i don't see oba going anywhere. However, if i was the manager and i had an idea that Owen wanted out the first thing i would do is get an offer on the table for Dean Ashton. Class act and soon to take over the england mantle (from Owen) i believe. We need one of two types of strikers. Either someone big and strong who can hold up the ball and score goals (ashton) or someone with a creative touch that can drop deep and change the game. In my personal opinion we should look no further than Eidur Gudjohnsen. Can't see it happening though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 if i was the manager and i had an idea that Owen wanted out the first thing i would do is get an offer on the table for Dean Ashton Are we not allowed to sign strikers that arent totally crocked? There's rumours Ashton wont ever play again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Ashton would be a more comlimentary player for Martins than Bent, but he's worse than Owen in terms of injuries. Which is a shame as I think he could've been an absolute star already if he'd stayed fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Wey its a shite rumour because i aint heard it. These days it would take more than broken bones to stop you from playing. He will be back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be more confident of Viduka getting 15 goals for us next season, then you think he would be on half the wages and we wouldnt be losing a huge amount if he buggers off next year.
