I'd much rather we get a striker who's proven Prem. Our best few forwards in the past few season have all had Prem experience.

who's proven in Prem and available though? Torres maybe, but I think he'll leave England next. Spaniards are always close to going back and I'm sure Barcelona would be interested. Drogba? He is in twilight of his career and would be answer for maybe one or two seasons. Rooney? Wash your mouth. Defoe? Speed merchant who I feel lacks the talent in front of goal to be main striker in really top team.
Who else? Other than that all the strikers in Premier League either simply don't have the talent or have glaring flaws in their game.
Whoever we go for needs to be improvement on Ade, which means they'd have to be close to world class.
Mind you, Olic is not the answer.

If you look at strikers we've bought/ loaned since Sven:
Prem Proven:
Tevez
Bellamy
Ade
Santa Cruz
Benji
Non Prem Proven:
Boj
Bianchi
Robinho
Jo
Caciedo
Castillo (remember him?)
I think it's pretty obvious that we need strikers who are proven here, not because all the ones we've bought with experience have been great, but because ALL the ones we've brought in without it have been gash.
I'm surprised with the pace this need for a new striker has picked up. We've yet to see the best out of Ade and a big name coming in might see the back of him.
I just think it's important to get the right man, and to do that only the top players will do. Torres should be number one out and out target imo. Players like Balotelli & Olic just won't cut it.

Try adding your own opinion for once instead of following me around and criticising mine every minute. Your obsession is becoming embarrassing.

So you mention one fucking player flop that we got from the spanish league and that justifies your stance on only getting proven players from the prem??
Here are a few that havent done badly in our league.
Spaniards in the Premiership
Xabi Alonso (22), midfielder
Team: Liverpool
Origin: Real Sociedad (2004)
League record 2004/05: 12 - 2
Oscillates in form but Gerrard's injury gave him more playing time. Scored in the famous win over Arsenal on November 28th.
Iván Campo (30), stopper
Team: Bolton
Origin: Real Madrid (2002)
League record 2004/05: 12 - 0
A regular at Bolton. One of the more prominent Spaniards in England. Had his career revived in England after two low-key seasons at Real.
Fabrigas.
Team: Arsenal
Origin: Barcelona (2003)
League record 2004/05: 13 - 1
An amazing talent. Having debuted last season in the FA Cup at 16, has slipped into the first Gunners' team with incredible ease. A player of the future if there was ever any.
Luis García (26), midfielder
Team: Liverpool
Origin: Barcelona (2004)
League record 2004/05: 11 - 3
A surprise for the Premiership onlookers, but not for fellow countryman Rafael Benitez, who convinced Liverpool to pay Barca 9 million euros for his services.
Josemi (24), defender
Team: Liverpool
Adapted quickly and had a tremendous start at Anfield.
Antonio Nunez (25), midfielder
Team: Liverpool
Former Real Madrid reserve, a proof of the Spanish League's amazing depth.
Gerard Pique (17), midfielder
Team: Manchester Utd.
Another youth player seized from Barcelona, like Cesc. Already made his debut in the Carling Cup.
Jose Reyes (21), forward
Team: Arsenal
A match winner with traits of a genius.
These are just the SPANISH players from that league..
Your embarrasing...clueless to boot...and how many of your shite posts have I commented on or replied to??? I can probably count them on one hand you delusional cunt.

I can't imagine Haangeland or Terry having a tough afternoon at the office chucking him to the floor over and over. Bojan is one of those ones you know is just primed to explode as soon as Barca give him a regular run out. Isn't Guiza a bit past it now? Seems like he has been around forever and Mallorca fucked him off to Galatassaray a couple of years back I think.

Guiza is an average player from the Turkish League. I'd have the other three mentioned above.
Robinho had a pretty good first season if I remember correctly. Saying he was 'clearly shit' is way ott.
