We were rumoured to be considering a £20m bit for him, and Celtic wanted £40m. So, no. Not in January anyway.
We probably had a chance last summer when he left Fulham on a free (though it wouldn't have been free for us as there would be a tribunal) but I don't think he was anyone's radar as he hadn't exactly set the world alight with Fulham (19 goals in 64 games).
West Ham are targeting Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose, 25, who has scored nine goals in 20 La Liga appearances this season. (Calciomercato - in Italian)
I'd just like us to be in a position where we can find someone who can hit the ground running like that - our striker signings though get found out for very different reasons.
Gabbiadini certainly looks good at the minute, but his record in the past seems to indicate this is a purple patch of form. I'll be interested to see how he does going forward.
I also wonder what this means for Charlie Austin? I'd have him here in a heartbeat personally.

Gabbiadini reminds me of Berbatov. Good positioning can turn well, not the fastest but makes up for it in other ways.

In other transfer thoughts i quite like Arthur. I think we will regret not signing celtics Dembele.

Did we ever have a chance to sign him?

According to this Man U are scouting him ;hmm
If its correct that we tried for him in January, perhaps thats why we didnt buy another RB (if St Etienne were ok with him going to us in the Summer)
