whoever suggested that little Argie from Birmingham, he's just equalised for Birmingham against Everton. I think Jeff Stelling said that's his fourth goal in four games. Maybe we should look closer at him.

Is that the same fella who's club want 20 Million for him ? If that is to be believed there has got to be better out there for that kind of money, we could get Ronnie and Henry for a little over that by the same reasoning, if we are shrewd enough in the transfer market with getting rid of the some of the current squad we could end up paying nothing for them  or anyone else Raffa wants to bring in.

Sticking with this Zarathe lad I think our best bet is to look at him against us in a couple of weeks and see how he performs. If he runs the likes of Skrtel, Hyypia or Carra all over the place, he may just be worth a punt.

[Owzat]

Yeah lets go for Zarate based on some decent recent form, sod long term impressions or the question as to why he's playing for a club in Qatar at such a young age. I certainly think we should be looking to sign someone who's a little more of a record to go on, ten games plus maybe four for the rest of this season isn't enough for me.

I noticed that Valencia are in deep shyt in La Liga, so it might be worth stealing a few of their exceptional players.

hunter is better because he is younger and taller and has scored more goals and scores at a better average than Villa

[JC_81]

Behave.

We're not going to fall for the old 'he scores goals in Holland therefore he must be class' one again are we?

I haven't seen much of Huntelaar to be honest so don't know if he lives up to the hype, but Villa is proven at a much higher level.

[cpc4eva]

i dont subscribe to that theory.....

if ur a striker u gotta score goals anywhere....

hunter has more going for him

younger, taller, quick like torres and has got plenty of experience

prime time to get him now b4 another club does

[Simari]

Maybe another striker - but not necessarily to partner Torres. Someone who can replace Torres in the 4-2-3-1 and still get the results.

We need goals from other players. A safer bet is to bring in goal-scoring wingers / and a goal-scoring midfielder to lighten the burden on our captain.

Maybe Lucas will fill that role, he was an attacking midfielder in Brazil and scored goals in the same fashion as Gerrard. But, I haven't seen that side of him this season (albeit, he's not played often enough to be comfortable in that position).

[Eduardo da Silva]

i don"t think Villa ant Huntelaar would be ideal partner with Torres cuz they three are too similiar strikers, Torres is fast, tehnical, with good shoot like them, I think we need one player for example inzaghi, Eduardo da Silva, Luca Toni who have finishing 20 and who is good in air......
