I think Ashton or Defoe, proven Premiership strikers, would be a better choice
Defoe is proven? Proven where? When he's banged 20 goals a season? Never. He's a slightly better version of Cisse with a ridicilious price tag on his head.
Ashton would be a good choice but we missed the chance, right now he would cost us 14 million considering that West Ham signed him for 7 last season
