I rate a £8-10million bid for Henry would be a safe bet, give him a one year deal. He would easily get us 20+ goals in that time period providing he stays fit.

He's probably the only one performing right now. Scored 14 and set up 8 in all competitions so far. It's mainly their defence letting them down this season, I blame the new manager Veh.

I have to say I really like the look of him, not just his goal record. Stick this guy in a top team and he'll do some serious damage.

If we lose Robinho then yes we will need another striker. This is the time of year when you need to rotate players more regulally, especially as we are in the mix for 2 trophies and a Champions League place.

Plus another new, quality attacker may reinvigorate and refresh the squad.

Some good names mentioned in this thread and some stinkers, Kevin Davies, John Carew and Carlton Cole were my favourites.

We should have signed Horseface for 6 months.

He could keep RSC company on the treatment table. How can you make the 'stinkers' comment and then suggest a 33-year-old horse who has played 16 (sixteen!!!!) games in 2 years???

I would sound out Sunderland for Darren Bent, they might not be keen but I think he would be
Carlton Cole a definite no
Light travels faster than sound.
Thats why some people appear bright until they open their mouth.

DISCLAIMER- My views are mine alone, and probably rubbish anyway.

Fine, you might make an offer that even our new board couldn't refuse, but can we get one thing straight?

We're hard up, yeah? Only the insane would want Benjani as part of any deal for our one decent striker.

He won't get sold this window anyway, but leave your trash out in the bin like everyone else, please.

It's nice to see what high consideration Benji is held in. ;)
