Jordan Rhodes? 28 goals in 24 games.

What about Guidetti? Can we recall him from his loan?

Has he gone to China yet? He would have been a good shout, no clue why AVB pushed him out while Torres keeps getting chances to fail.

Would really like to see Guidetti get recalled and get an extended run with our first team. Could he be any worse than Dzeko atm?

No point getting anyone in permanently at this stage as Guidetti will be back in summer and challenge for a spot. LAHAD's shout about Keane would've been good.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Not sure who may be available that fits the bill but didn't the rags bring old whatisname in a couple of seasons ago for a few months to tide them over....Was it Larrson?

I think If Balo hadn't stamped fuck face and Keane hadn't scored a brace at weekend we'd all have thought that a shit idea.

We need a 4th choice for more than a few weeks, kid or old timer on a short contract for me.

No we sign someone now we risk having Dzeko Mk II, even if they know the premiership - Doug is spot on, we stick & go with what we have

I'd like to see a young lad on the bench or maybe even given some game time. Hiwula, Denis Suarez, Roman etc.

We should recall Adebayor.

It would help with our Striker problems and piss 'onest 'arry off.

Job done.

Yeah mate. But I don't see anyone prolific like that available anywhere. Henry is in Arsenal and Keane is in Villa. Those two would've made sense for a while. Other than that I don't see any point in getting someone in permanent basis. There are tons of Dzeko haters around and he has been bit stop start but he has still managed to score 11 in 17 league games. Then we of course have best forward in the league (especially next season when he is fully adjusted) in Aguero and fantastic young talent (if you forget that he is a headcase) in Balotelli. We also got hugely promising striker with fantastic scoring record in Guidetti coming back. IMO we are set in that position for long term.

Now about that centerback position.....

'onest 'arry does look increasingly like he has managed his last football match, if there is any truth to what I have read on the BBC.

A shame we can't recall Adebayor. It would be very benficial to us.

Interesting debate, if we cant flog Tevez how about we do swap loans with one of the Milans for one of their strikers, i cant think of for who exactly possibly Milito(not sure if hes back in team, its just a guess?) the alternative is someone young with massive potential Zaha wouldnt be the worse idea same with Hoilett, least they can both play wide too and even if they flopped we would get a decent chunk of change by selling them on.
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nasri is back so no need, play him behind Sergio,It is why we bought is it not, he did it in rotation with Cesc behind RVP.
