Some good shouts in there, i was like John Craig of the opinion that Johnson was just having one of them freaky seasons that players sometimes have ala Marcus Stewart for Ipswich.
But although he has had bad luck with injuries he has still scored regular goals when he has played. His movement also is top notch, very clever and he could play of Crouch imo.
Depending on the price tag i would welcome a move for him but i wouldn't be held to ransom. 5 million tops.
Both spurs strikers are worth a look Keane and Defoe would fit in really well, Defoe would probably cost too much for Rafa to consider it, but Keane i think would be available for about 4.5 million...although probably not until after the african nations when Mido is back...by then the transfer window would of closed.
Anelka is an interesting option, there's the worry about the baggage that comes with him, but his ability is unquestionable and i think he would score 10 goals in the second half of the season no problem.
The larsson shout is a decent one, but while eto'o is away i dont think there is a chance of that.
It has been done in another thread, but i would take Fowler, he obviously is not the same player, but he still could play a part and would lift the club and the crowd if he came back.
My preferred option would be to go for Anelka, i think about 6 million would pick him up and also Robbie. We could bring Fowler on late in games it would lift the crowd and he is also not cuptied.
ALLLRIGHTY THEN !!
