No striker we have re-signed has been as good as they were the first time around in my opinion be it Keane, Defoe, Mido or Sherringham for a variety of reasons. One could make an argument for Klinsmann, but that second appearance was on loan with a relegation side so Jurgen's need to re-sign was much different.
I'm even wary of signing Ade permanently because we need players that are motivated to play for us. Often when they think the grass is greener and have nothing left to prove the spark goes too.
I'm not saying I'd be disappointed with Ade, but if he and Berba are the strikers we are looking to sign then we're not exactly going forwards. Ade and Damaio, or Ade and Llorente etc. or even those other strikers on their own are at least an attempt of significantly improving.

He was fucking lazy when he actually wanted to play for us.......
The thing is that if we can't get the big new names, then we have to look at reliable alternatives....and right now I can't think of two other "forgotten" strikers who will make sure to get you goals than Ade and Berbascum. Berbatoss only played 20 matches last season but still socred 9 goals. That's as good as Ade and a slightly better goal per game ratio that Defoe. There's no question that he is a more skilled player than Defoe and with Ade being good at assist I could see Berbawank playing off that quite well.HyNdZee said:

I hope you're right. But I think we won't be seeing Llorente or Leadro this summer.HyNdZee said:
Just my hunch.

Well it doesn't have to be those two, whoever AVB wants I suppose. But if AVB has said to Levy, I want a better striker and I want a better goalkeeper and Levy has only given him a defender and a midfielder to improve with then Levy has mugged him off and can only expect to do worse this season.
Obviously if Madrid have mugged us off then there is a more understandable domino effect in the whole process, however in my opinion the defence and midfield were low priority areas to try and improve first unless there was always a better striker in mind to improve with as well.
I find it hard to believe there are no potentially better strikers out there than Berba on the minds of AVB or Levy, especially considering Newcastle signed two last season and the scum down the road have just signed two.
All I want is one.

Yup. He was sex to the eye. But he went on strike when he was supposed to be playing for us, so he can never expect to be welcomed back.
