super canary 0 Posted January 12, 2013 Mirror says us and Reading in for him after West Ham told him he could go. Would be pretty happy with this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spencer 1970 203 Posted January 12, 2013 I don''t mind him to be fair. Another Heskey type that got slated but if you look back was rather successful and many managers rated him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,530 Posted January 12, 2013 Let me get this straight - a 29-year-old PL player with seven full England caps is not good enough for us? My how we''ve risen in the world.[:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed it shows that we are rising in the World, much preferable to the opposite.[/quote] Broadstairs, I was being a touch provocative, especially with the reference to winning England caps! Not sure how much of a recomendation that is...But a more serious point is that some posters are assuming we are only looking to bring in one striker. I have no inside knowledge on this, but I suspect we are looking at two. One of each kind, as it were. In that case how about Hooper (your prayers having been answered) and Cole? Would that look so bad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,093 Posted January 12, 2013 Not at all PC, but we''d have to unload at the same time (Morison to Villa?) for the sake of the wages bill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But there are some others, such as Lappin, Barnett, Butterfield and Chris Martin, and possibly even Surman or Fox, who might be loaned out or sold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Chops 7 Posted January 12, 2013 I''d rather sign Nat King Cole, and he''d have a better first touch.West Ham fans call him "Can''t Control" for a reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
