    To me that is a calculated risk worth taking on a player. He also has age on his side and being "ex City" he will have a resale on him even if he does flop.
  • None of Defoe bats or iheanachi will be joining us to play second fiddle.

    Which means either we play two up front or even if we landed any of them it will not be more than one of them.

    Which would also mean AC being sold I would say as I can't see the daves keeping him as a back up as his injuries are so random that he'd probably be crocked when called upon to cover the first choice striker.
  • I can't see that we would be going into negotiation saying "if you sign you'll be a sub". If I was and of Defoe, Iheanacho or Batshuayi, I would back myself to be the #1 striker over the other two.
  • When Ive seen Iheanacho, he's not been an out and out striker. Hes quick and skilful plus seems to be able to put the ball in the net from limited time. Yes, I know he'd get more chances and the ball at City but seeing him play off Bats or AC would be a decent level higher than currently. The gossip mentions his name and it'll mention many others we are very unlikely to sign. Doesnt stop me wanting them all though ;wahoo

  • Rumours on twitter that Pablo Zabaleta has agreed a two-year deal with us, with an option for a third year. ;hmm

  • Heard rumours that Nolito is going to to real betis for 3.4m? For that price we should be going in for him. Looked decent at city when i saw him play better than Feghouli.
  • We were rumoured to be interested before he went to City but were outpriced.

    £3.4m would be a steal, IMO
  • It's £3.4m to go back to Spain though, I think I read. He looked good then totally disappeared from the squad. I reckon he's homesick and City are letting him go on the cheap but only back home
  • Chris Wood from Leeds for 15 million today's rumour ;hmm
  • Reid should have an idea of how good he is. Also, he says his sister is technically better than him ;hmm
  • I think if that happened we would need to hire another 10 medical staff ;lol
  • There's absolutely no way LIverpool want Carroll.

    Also, Chris Wood would not be a good signing, IMO. He has had one season.
  • Dont shoot the messenger - this from Jinxed on KUMB : Carrol for Sturridge - Straight swap/ Zabaleta nearly 'over the line'/ Looking at Wilshire ! ;wahoo

    ;lol

    ;pray

    ;hmm

    In that order
  • Nolito would be a steal, Betis aren't a big club or a particularly good one (14th in la liga)so i'm sure we can tempt him

    Think he was frozen out by pep, many players have, but he previously hit double figures in his previous 3 seasons on Spain and started life at City pretty well

    His goal haul of 4 this season would still set him in our top 5 goalscorers, and he has played 500 minutes LESS than Andy Carroll and Ayew who only have 7 and 5 respectively

    He's also a left winger who'll allow Lanzini to play more centrally as we don't really have a left winger atm (Ayew prefers being central, Antonio, Feg and Snodgrass all prefer the right)
  • ;kanye

    No way will Carroll be swapped with Sturridge
  • bbb

    Given his injury record, Klopp's style of play, the fact he flopped there once already, and the fact that Sturridge fits them a lot more style wise, I don't see it at all

    Is this not an admission of tapping up by Klopp ;hmm
  • ;hmm Depends if they went through the clubs?
  • A bit left field but how about a bid for Marko Arnautovic? I reckon he would be perfect for left side of a three.
  • good player but I think he has bigger ambitions than us and Stoke. Seems like someone who wants to be in a "European" playing time, so cant see him joining us even if Stoke decided they wanted to sell which I don't think they would.
  • Aeronautic signed a new 4-year deal in the summer. If he'd wanted to leave Stoke he could have gone to Everton who were offering £12.5m or he could have let his old contract run out this summer and gone on a free.

  • m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39980308

    Pickford available.

    For £30m.

    Perhaps not then...

    Pickford will be available for less in a couple of seasons when he makes a couple of mistakes and the press decide he's awful, after hyping him up.
  • Like Butland? ;hmm
  • West Ham forward Andre Ayew, 27, could quit the Premier League club to rejoin former side Marseille, despite only signing from Swansea last summer - according to his father, Abedi Pele. (Le Parisien - in French)
