Honestly, a shame the likes of De Jong and Van Wolfswinkel are seemingly happily ensconsed elsewhere. Young, good finishers and wouldn't cost a bomb. We seem stuck in a cycle of trying to bag an uber-striker or going for last minute punts. There seems to be no real forward planning in this regard. We're reactive, imo and I blame our 'scouting network' which must be incredibly shit.

FFS. I wonder what will happen in the summer then. Oh wait, exactly the same thing again and we'll still be short of a top-tier striker next season (unless Ade gets his finger out).

I agree, especially about the "über" striker or stop gap. It's odd how we have ended up like this.

How many windows are we going to wait for Damiao? In the summer it will be "THFC will wait until January when the Brazilian season is over". Then it will be "THFC will wait until the summer once Internacional have completed their copa de libatores campaign". Getting very bored of this.

Never has the signing of a £20m striker been so closely matched to me doing the dishes.

hahaha, we're way beyond desperate mate, we passed that about a week ago
But still. Coming into his late 20's, not going to improve and will probably cost upwards of this £5.5m fee we keep seeing in the media. In any circumstance its no thanks. I'd rather get Sir Les out of retirement.
If we are scrabbling around desperately for someone then take a punt on a young player eg. Vydra.
We need this man back to his best

once he turns 50 the repayment plan (probably brokered by michael parkinson) may be affordable. if he doesn't come now or is pre-contract for the summer, just walk away.

I think we should be all over this. Another 2 over the weekend. Whether the owners would let him go is another thing.

Our scouting is fine - We just dont pay Chelsea type monies, it is that strait forward.
The market values will start to shrink over the next few years for 'our' price range targets.

Possibly. That would need both of them starting though. Not sure how often that would happen. Sigs as the actual AM behind the target man works. TBH, I wonder if Sigs is even here next season. Not sure he'll fit into an AVB team, unless we sorta go 4-2-3-1 and even then he'd be a squad payer at best. We're not the ideal team for him really.

Be the same old story in the summer, won't want to leave mid season but he will decide again at the end of the season
January 2014: and we will look to get him in the summer.
I hope Chelsea or some italian club signs him already so we can all move on

Until he retires, this will live with us. I'm sure of it. The bastard will probably go into management and then we'll be linked with him in that regard. We've got decades of this shit to put up with.
