La Parka Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Samuel Etoo (Heard he had a quarrel with Frank a few months back, I wonder is that resolved? But I doubt he will come) Benni McCarthy (If Blackburn is willing to part & if we can show Benni our ambition) Carlos Tevez (Although Newcastle is one of the biggest club in UK, it's doubtful whether he is willing to come) Theofanis Gekas (Top scorer of the German Bundesliga in 2007 - 20 goals) Kevin Kurányi Lucas Poldoski None of those would step down IMO. Hugo Almeida, currently on loan at Werder would be worth a pop. Big, strong old school center forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SLK Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 If we want a pacey goalscorer Earnshaw could do the job and I doubt he would cost silly money but he doesn't add much else to the team. I do expect this suggestion to be mocked. If we want a big strong lad to partner whichever of the two hypothetically stayed then Zigic would be worth a look. And you should be mocked (for suggesting Earnshaw)...Rightly so... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodson Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Go for Johan Elmander in Tolouse. He has had a fantastic season, is an extremely hard worker and would be perfect in the premiership. Yesterday he was named in the french ligues team of the season. He will probably cost around 8-10 mil but would be a perfect partner for Martins or Owen.

Jaehyun Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Honestly if one of owen and Martins leave we would need to find a striker to match the other, ofcourse if both leave, then we can think about replacing them with a similar player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Rahter blow a massive fee on Nugent than waste it on Bent, he is an okay striker but the sums of money being mentiond for him are obscene.

However I still think both Owen and Martins will be staying here.. I think Bent will be going to the bingo club. Egghead has actually bid £15m and I can't see anyone wanting to match that figure. The only hope is that Bent doesn't want to go there but if Charlton dig their heels in, Bent will have the choice of the spanners or the championship, not a lot of difference tbh. Bent, as good as he is, ain't worth £15m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am swedish. ;-) I used to say that Elmander is the talented player that never achieves his full potential. But when he came to FC Copenhagen playing under Michael Laudrup something changed. He matured and became a cracking player. His season in France has been amazing and i beleive his powerful style ande tha way he runs could be perfect in the premiership. I also beleive that all the running he puts in for every game could make a lot of room for his partner upfront, Owen or Martins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we could pay him more than his stage routine or even Ch4, especially when it works. £1m to hypnotise the entire team to think they are pele.

Guest Steven_MB Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 IF we want a cheap 3rd striker, then we should go for Dank lazovic, playing for vitesse arnhem in Holland, unlike other dutch strikers, he has no chance of european football, and a £2 offer was turned down. He scored 21 goals this season. jan Huntellar (klaas act) or Alves would be awesome to replace martins/Owen if they leave, but if they don't then not worth paying price, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Boot Boy Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 How long do you reckon it be before Mickey tell us whether he want to stay at Newcastle Utd or not? He won't. When it becomes clear that no significant teams want him, he will stay and, after the event, claim that he never wanted to leave. IMO, he wants out and won't say that because he doesn't want to burn his bridges. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
