Branston Pickle 4,003 Posted August 11, 2015 Well, he is Italian, so I suppose that would be fair enough (if true). We could do with one of these links coming off, though.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Spector 0 Posted August 11, 2015 Doesn''t strike me as an Alex Neil type player.Perhaps another case of agents leaking false information about us being interested in a player to drive his price up?We do seem to have become the go-to club for that in Italy...

star_manic 0 Posted August 11, 2015 He is on €30,0000ow at Roma. Not sure where 90k figure comes from. Is that £ or € ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 5,479 Posted August 11, 2015 Season-long loan with an option to buy if we stay up would be great. He would not come cheap, but is of a highly impressive calibre. Not the physical ''outlet'' that we need to hold the ball up, but as a predatory fox-in-the-box striker he''d be excellent. Would be delighted if this were true.

Iwans Big Toe 353 Posted August 11, 2015 There''s more chance of us signing Thaal Sinestro of the Green Lantern Corp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,454 Posted August 11, 2015 His goalscoring record is very good, and you''d have to say that he fits the bill of improving our current options. The money in Serie A isn''t what it used to be so wages shouldn''t be an issue unless he''s stupidly greedy- maybe not wanting to leave Italy would be a bigger issue.However, as has been said, we''ve been linked with a lot of players from Italy for no good reason, so it may just be agents drumming up interest again.I really hope this does come off though. I''ve just moved to Italy, so signing an Italian international would certainly be interesting and appealing to me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bojan played for Barca, Milan, Roma and Ajax but still went to Stoke (Stoke!?)[quote user="......and Smith must score."][quote user="Oswald Cobblepot"]Very good little player.

A targetman who can score a few would be ideal, but if we can get a fox-in-the-box to hit double figures, that would be useful too (whether it is Destro or someone else).

chicken 0 Posted August 11, 2015 McCormack is over rated. The fee Fulham paid for him would underline that and suggest that they wouldn''t accept much less to buy him. If we are going to go down the £11+million then we may as well try someone a bit more adventurous than McCormack who, IMHO, represents a larger risk considering he is a week off 29.

Tommo 51 Posted August 11, 2015 McCormack totally overrated and if Fulham want somewhere near £11m they paid for him then that ain''t value for money and not prem league class - squad player rather than leading the line like Mbokani could and smaller transfer fee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
