Although Rafa is unlikely to be looking at these players, I'd like to see Pennant and Ashton come in, largely because they're very good players, english and we could probably afford both for less than we're willing to pay for Simao.
That may seem as if I'm saying we should buy quantity over quality, but this is not the case. Personally, i feel we are in need of a striker and I think Ashton is definately capable of playing top flight football (like Charlton took a gamble on Bent). I also think Pennant has tremendous potential and has shown, this season, that he invariably gets the ball into the box 9 times out of 10.
