IF hooligan signs, what comes first? the chicken or the egg

[Bovril 219]

if wesley signs on the dotted line on monday like rumoured, personally it will be terrific business as he is a very good player in this division and at 250k we would certaintly not lose money on the bloke, but if he''s there to set up the goals, who an earth is gonna score them?? apparently man city knocked back our £1.5mill bid for evans,

for £1.5mill, an good striker and centre defender, or a very good striker?

Sibieski!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope!

again depending on how much money Roeder has been given.

if i was him i would spend 1.5mil on a striker and central defender and with money left over i would use to strengthen the rest of the squad

yes, i would welcome Sibieski.

if the rumours are true, how much do you think we would sign him for?

[colneycanary 0]

At a guess i would say around 1 million, maybe just under. Even though he is 33, i still think he''d be one of the best and most talented players in this league.

[Bovril 219]

since the success of dublin, people have become much more willing to take on the ''experienced'' player...for me there is no doubt that sibierski would be a very very good player in this division alongside a halve-decent pacy striker (say earnshaw for example [:P]) it just depends how much money he wants a week...

and for those people unsure, like myself, what exactly hooligans attributes are, here''s a great article about his talent, incidentally pace is not one of them...

I would rather a very good striker for 1.5 million hopefully roeders links with sibierski will bring him here as he would be excellent at this level

And this a striker who is 33, but Hucks was deemed not part of our long term future at 32?

There''s no room for hooliganism in this club.

But does Sibierski have a dodgy hip that has prevented him playing to his full potential for over a year?

[Branston Pickle 3,696]

....more because Hucks was becoming more prone to injury than just his age - he has a ''chronic'' hip problem, doesn''t he? - hardly surprising given the battering he''s had, but also hardly surprising that we didn''t really think it worthwhile gambling on another contract.

Last season he had 10 Premiership starts, 20 more as sub and scored just four goals. Not that impressive really!

I have never claimed he is an out and out goal getter (see http://new.pinkun.com/cs/forums/1246401/ShowPost.aspx if you dont believe me!).  Fact is though that I see him as a decent physical presence who could do a job at this level alongside a quicker, more light weight goal scoring partner.  If the price and wages were right we could do a lot worse than end up with a guy with a hell of a lot of top flight experience.

My point in answering your post about Huckerby was more to point out that age may well not have been the only or indeed the deciding factor in releasing him.  I was sad to see him go, but that''s life.  I would rather remember the great Huckerby than a injury plagued shadow of his former self trading on past glories - he was too good a player to let that happen to in my book.

[Branston Pickle 3,696]

Totally agree with you P''boro on both counts - someone Sibierski-like (am not too bothered who it is, to an extent) is needed to plug the gap left by DD.  Goals scored doesn''t really tell the full story for someone like Sibierski, tho, as he often also plays m/f. 

Also agree re: Hucks - fantastic player but you have to think his best days were behind him, imo he was a shadow of his former self last year, even in his final burst of matches.

exactly. sibierski is not that good. would be to much and want to high wage for his ability.

[chocolate nutter 0]

I think we could get him on a free as he didn''t cost Wigan anything plus i should thing he is on big wage which Bruce will wan''t to free up for other signings!!!!.

[GMF 757]

I''ll happily agree that Hucks didn''t have his best season for us, although the last few games he was certainly coming back to his best. Ok, so the cynics will say that he was playing for a new contract, and that''s probably partly true, but you know what you get with Hucks and I thought he was worth another season.

I also agree that we need a Dion replacement, I just happen tho think that Sibieski isn''t the answer. I know it''s about more than scoring goals, but, and it''s a big BUT, to get out of this division you need a couple of strikers capable of getting 15 to 20 goals a season and I can''t just see that with Sibieski.

The egg, obviously.  It mutates and evolves.
