Must be true if you read it on the internet
United States of ‘Muriqi?
I see the joke candidate Slimani has yet to get a vote.
Watch him miraculously top the poll within 48 hours if he's the one we land up with

I wonder if the old boy could still string 10-15 minutes a game out of that languid style of his.
I BACK BERBA!!!!!
I didn't say it was true but it isn't implausible either.
Why would you worry about the price, Mark?
It's not like we're on the brink of bankruptcy.
We've seen reports that they want £60m although Bill Madrid has shot that down. Let's be honest if they wanted £60m for him it's a no go. £20m-£30m more realistic perhaps t then we don't know what's being negotiated and that's paper talk etc.
Fair enough. But how do you put true value on any player?
If he's Jose's choice and costs 50million and goes on to score the goals that wins us major trophies he'd be worth every penny.
If he costs 20 million and flops like Jansenn he's a waste of money.
Sometimes in football you have to take a financial risk or two and back your managers judgement
True and you're right but £50m on someone who probably would be a bench warmer once Kane is fit amounts to about 1/5th of our entire retained profit/ wealth accumulated. We do need to take risks though and if he's someone Jose wants them anything £50m or under should be within a club like ours scope yes. I don't see this guy being one Jose yearns for but who knows John. The men with the money and the men with the need are most of the time two very different people with very different agendas maybe that's the case right here.
Probably - none of the above - if we need a six month loan then pretty much anyone will do, but if it's a permanent second striker purchase then wait until the summer. We're not winning the league, we might win a cup but as we saw last season cup games don't rely on a single striker - cometh the hour and all that.
If we are in the middle of a rebuild then let's not do another Janssen, or a Llorente let's wait and get it right.
That said if we can get a 'real' striker signed then why the feck not - right now for all clubs looking at top strikers that seems highly unlikely this window.

I thought i read somewhere, that we had offered £12m, but Real Sociedad were holding out for £21m. If that's the case, we should be getting him for £5m + Onomah's buy-back-clause
Surely the prudent buy would be Giroud.
He knows the league and would adapt quicker than the others. We need someone who performs from the get go, he’s cheap as well.

Fuck Giroud
Fuck it should we just sign David Nugent? 
Will that get him to sign? seems a bit needy .....
shane long......... incoming!!!
I've heard good thinks about Soldado and the up and coming talent Vincent Janssen.
