ruud van nistelrooy. eidur gudjohnsen or however u spell it.

adding on:

jesper gronkjaer could be a short term solution on the right.
if he still has it. no clue where he is now.

[Quadrophenia]

I'm just gonna ask something here...are people saying players they genuinely believe we can get or just players they want? Because we have to take into account the Champions League and if they're cup tied or not, because I don't think we'll be going in for any player that falls into that catergory - which probably rules of my choice of Van Bronkhurst (if he's still at Barce that is which I genuinely wouldn't know)

Or are we thinking just for the league, which means we can pick any tom dick or harry.

Didn't rate him at all to be honest mate.

Quick, decent feet but not very effective.

That's a name from the past, him and Jesper Blomquist down the flanks and we'd be...well .

One winger who would've been great was Overmars but he's surely gone hasn't he?

Pi$$ing nappies in a home near Amsterdam!

In some cases neither, people just bung names into the mix at random (or at least I do anyway). Bloomquist, was he the fella who got a really bad injury? sounds like a bloke who would regularly discover things in the North Pole to me.

He was the Sweedish (somewhere Scandinavian and I'm sure he was Sweedish) left winger for United who tipped to replace Ryan Giggs. He didn't though. Was another very very poor player, but considering he was up against Giggs and Beckham for the wide areas, it's no surprise really.

He could also play in the hole (well stand there anyway), but you're not gonna drop Yorke or Cole for him or Keane or Scholes for a diamond formation.

Lets just get Owen and be done with it

yeah he's gone off he radar now. what do you think of Daniel Odonkor though? i recall him being very highly rated but not heard off since. was he all about pace and no end product?

[Fo Dne]

Eidur Gudjohnsen.

An intelligent, experienced player with good ability. More than capable of linking the play and offers decent-good goal threat. A good quality back up at the very least.

Heinze as cover for Aurelio, great attitude and work ethic, solid defender. Van Bronckhorst would be a possible alternative, except he's much more attacking.

Henry, fairly unlikely but worth a shout for obvious reasons.

Pires is another - Anfield is his favourite away ground, although I see him as 40/1 outsider as he seems settled at Villarreal.

Crespo - there's one to ponder. I wouldn't but not because of a lack of quality.

The first ones a great shout for me.

Agreed.


I think the best two options for us are right under are noses. Owen and Barry
1. They want to come
2. They are quality players with premership experience
3. They are cheap
4. They address weakness' in our squad

All this talk of exotic/obscure players is fun and all but how often do you get quality english players like those two available at a reasonable prices?

I truely believe that if we are still in the race come January, Owen could be the difference between us winning the Prem and
dropping off the pace.

Barry though is cup tied so we could probably wait until Summer. Reportedly he can by out his contract for 2m so he'd be an absolute steal. His ability to play Left Back, Left Midfeilder, Holding Midfeilder and Creative Midfielder all at a high level would be invaluable and it might be worth us putting in a bid in Junuary.

[benjy]

between owen and martins, who would we rather take for a back up striker?
i've been impressed with martins - he makes things happen on his own. whereas owen is more reliant on people creating the opening.

i think we probably need someone like martins more than owen, because we need someone with the spark to create something on his own when the midfield is getting stuck.

but i'm not sure how well martins would fit into our system of play - be with up with torres or keane.

[Owzat]

In january I really think we need to get a Gary Mac type in, someone with experience, someone who has got bottle and nerve.
Because if we are still there or there abouts next year I worry some of our lot might bottle it.

So suggestions? I think Heinze & Henry( on the offal again today )

Would be great additions to have.

Any more players to throw into the mix? That people think would make a difference?

[color=#000000]Experienced campaigners who've won the Premiership - like SILVESTRE and GALLAS you mean....................? Or maybe even DUFF, ROBBEN, PHIL NEVILLE, SAHA, SMERTIN, GLEN JOHNSON, SOL CAMPBELL, KANU, CIGAN (?) etc

I'm not suggesting we buy those, just pointing out that signing someone who's won the Premiership doesn't necessarily mean you will get a great player. Most are cast off for attitude problems, injury problems or because they're old. It's incomparable with a free because big clubs don't let players leave on frees for no reason. And why should we live in someone else's past? Hoping that the player is as great for us as they were however many years ago they played in a title winning side. Let's sign great players in or approaching their prime, or players in the prime who aren't too old, not pick out someone else's 'legends' - or not in some of the cases I listed

Gary Mc never won the Premiership, pretty sure he was in the 91/92 Leeds side in which case they won the old First Division. Maybe you didn't mean to imply that he did win the Premiership, but you expect the title and first line of a thread to be linked directly. Good player that Gary Mc was, I think some people get a little carried away with him as a ('great') signing. How long did that last? Did it do any longterm good?

[andy_g]

i don't think it matters of we're talking about realistic possibilities or the 'wouldn't it be great if....' types. it can be a fun thread regardless. at this moment i'm going to think practically and there are two names that are pretty much in the realms of possibility and would definitely make a big difference (sticking to the prem winners idea)

henry and gudjohnsen
