I would like us to sign Elmander on the cheap, especially if our 'top targets' prove hard to sign this window.
Even if we could get a Torres/Llorente/Benzema type striker I would still prefer we sign Elmander as well and move on both Keane and Pav (or Crouch)

Well he has said he would like to play back at Gremio again so could have some legs that rumour.

JTG? That means he's as good as signed.

Completely agree, I would take Elmander all day long given that the risk is very low given his contract situation...and he's an upgrade on a few our strikers anyway.
Improving the squad for little cost makes perfect sense to me.

Real Madrid and Inter have sidelined him. That tells me the boy is shot, no longer motivated and is on the long slippery one way road to obscurity from a top drawer stage. He would offer little other than organising the weak and feeble to accompany him to the bright lights of London town.

True. He can be a real big shot with little responsibility in the big buck MLS League. He would be the new Rodney Marsh or George Best.
Look, the people I am arguing with are Barca fans (bitter) and people who think he's played for Real Madrid and Inter.

The trouble with Ronaldinho is he doesn't do anything for large periods of a game. Last season his stats were really impressive. No doubt he came up with a number of goals and assists, but he didn't do much else. Milan really just carried him. He wont do any tracking back and he has no desire to dominate games. He'll come up with moments of magic, but they are few and far between. Plus I doubt he'd get as many goals and assists in the Premier League. He's a bit like Pav and Defoe in that respect, just better quality when he does do something good.

Agree.
Watched him three times last season. Against Real Madrid, he couldn't give a toss but he impressed me in AC's games against Utd. Phenomenal skill.

He'd settle in perfectly. We could assign Ledley to show him the sights
