Are we lining up Ronaldo?

[XabisBadFoot]

I am all for Darren Bent coming to Liverpool.

 

He scored a goal last night against Boro, using a move which was a world away from anything any of our strikers have shown this season.

 

It's called "making a run"...!!

Oh brilliant, a striker speculation thread!

 

How novel

is that some new fangled footy term? I have heard of 'moving into space' and 'dragging defenders away', but never 'making a run'.

I think its laxative related.

Yeah, right. Tell me again, when exactly is Graveson signing for the Mancs?

 

How the Hell would I know? Fergie turned down the approach last year, didn't he?

Yakubu seems a more realistic acquisition than Big Ronnie

If only.......

 

Not seen any evidence that we're looking at him but we bloody well should be.

 

And Defoe carries far more threat than any striker we currently have on the books by the way.

 

Both have pace to burn and we need it.

He basically ran onto a ball at the back post and was in there like a dart. I honestly can't remember the last time we scored a bog standard goal like that.

According to a very reliable poster on one of the other sites, Rafa wants Yakubu this summer.

 

I'd be delighted if we could get him; apparently, his goalscoring record since he came to England is actually second only to Henry, which is astounding.

 

If he hasn't got a release clause in his contract though, I imagine Gibson won't be too keen to play ball with us after the whole Ziege affair and nicking Zenden off them for nothing last summer. He'd possibly have to kick up a stink to make the move happen.

 

Apart from him I like Kuyt, and Dutch players tend to adapt well to playing in England. Berbatov is another who wouldn't be too pricey, and Bojinov is a great talent, but really I'd prefer a striker with a proven record in England - Bent has done really well this year, and of course Owen is an option if he does have a release clause in his contract.

 

Our game is so much different to other leagues, strikers like Morientes with great records abroad, sometimes fail to adapt and we can't afford for that to happen again this time.

who was it said they`d heard that Kuyt and Owen where dead certs for the summer?

Kuyt seems to be nailed on according to forum sources.

Pretty sure it was Anny Road who said it.

[Guest Cardie]

Likes the partying

Not the best trainer

Stupid hair cut last world cup

Wages

 

Positives

 

Scores a phenomenal number of goals.

The mere fact that YOU say it means it's not true. la-la-la not listening la-la-la.

Johnny H is the poster - he's been right much more often than he's been wrong.

 

The only time I can remember him being wrong was over Owen, and to be fair it seemed like he was coming until the last minute.

 

He's got an excellent source I think, but who it is I don't know...

If his agent was on the ball, he would of insisted on a release clause, to get out of that sh1thole, and also he had a pretty complex contract when he was at Macabi, so who knows? God knows why he only went for £7.5m? 23 years old and prolific, something has to have been put in place

[Guest Cardie]

If Rafa had listened to me in the summer it would have saved all this fuss.

him and Kuyt and i'd be made up.

 

him and Owen would be even sweeter. proven premiership class.

You might want to think again about picking on fyds, from his picture, he looks mean.

[Guest The Defender]

I'm not doubting his ability or the fact that he is on his day the best striker on the planet... I doubt his attitude... He looks so lazy.. some people in spain believe he trains only when he wants too.
