yeah right!!!!!!

nah on a serious note. there's all this talk of Anelka, and some people are inevitably talking about "the incredible sulk." in my opinion thats a lot of bullsh*t started by the media when he was at Arsenal. there's loadsa footy players who whine well more than Anelka, in fact he pretty much keeps himself to himself and doesnt say much. so i wouldnt hold that against him if he were to sign.

i'm still not 100% on him though. when i heard we might be signing him it was a sort of subdued "yerrrrrse" much like when my nan bought me a Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles video for christmas, but it was baout a year after they'd died out and werent that good any more. "i had to fake delighted response and said something stupid like "ahhh Turtles....i love them." of course i would have been much happier if i'd have had it 2 years ago. sorry nan. somehow i dont thin she'll be reading this messageboard though.

i just think we may be able to get someone better for 8 million or whatever. i'm not sure who though. what do you's think?

I think were missing the natural goalscorer/poacher type player as none of our squad although some good talent are natural scorers

I can see the Fowler argument but he's not the player he was years ago

Earnshaw as BigMick says and I agree although he scored again so WB wont get rid

I reckon Mellor aint good enough and with Garcia, Kewell Baros and Cisse on his return we have good players but we dont have the fox in the box player.

I started off thinking Fowler no way thats a joke but the more I think about it if the price is right etc I am turning round but only if and I mean if Rafa is happy after talking with him and on a game to game basis as has been suggested so if he has everything to lose we know he must be serious about playing here again

I disagree with the he was my hero sentiment as there is no room for that if you want the team to win hence the professional sport tag.

From what Ive seen so far I do think we are lacking the finisher but cant really think of anyone in particular apart from the two Ive mentioned

Oh R Keane but Jim Beam me old mucka there is something about him I just cant stand

I hope fowler comes back cos I still got a liverpool replica shirt with his name on the back. The p!llock left 1 month after I bought it, only wore it twice since then.

Anelka is the best talent in the Premiership that is available at a half decent price. I would prefer them to get in Mendietta though.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly Jim, how would Mendietta solve our strikeforce problems?

on the anelka pointr Jim, I totally agree, I know quite a few City fans through work and business dealings, and they have said that Anelka has been a model pro. since he has been at the club, never complaining e.t.c. and generally the fans have been over the moon with his aplication and commitment to the team, on a side issue by the way, they are also fully expecting Fowler to come back home in the january sales

Mendieta has a long term injury anyway. :glare:

What about when he was at Real and psg

He had his chance with us and scored a measly 2 goals.

Not for me.

I think Anelka was a good pro at Anfield but Houllier seemed to be afraid of his previous disciplinary problems. This scared him away when faced with a £10m price tag. Instead he bought Diouf :glare:

. It does appear that Anelka has outgrown his attitude problems and he is now a reliable employee. He may well be within out price range but it remains to be seen if he personally is willing to return to a club that showed little faith in him. Despite the management change he may be unwilling to return. I would imagine that his availabilty would see a reaction from a number of top clubs. If I had to take a guess I think Anelka may well head abroad for a fresh challenge.
