Moses seems pretty good BUT we do not need this type of player. Therefore a waste of money!!!!

The point is - can we? Our wage structure (with which I agree as it keeps us solvent) precludes any "super star" signing and it is about time most of us accepted this fact. I really have no idea if Pav could be truly great for us or not and based on the first team playing time he has had I can't really see how anyone else can make an accurate assessment. However, there is no doubt that he has talent and I feel we could do a lot worse (and maybe not much better) for the wage level that the club is prepared to pay.

Come off it. He's our laziest striker. He had plenty of time to make the first team and he didn't do enough. I dont know why people are so upset by this. Aside from the odd flash in the pan moment he hasn't done much at all.
The good thing is, POTL hasn't mentioned Keane, which probably means he's staying. Which leaves Keane, Defoe, Crouch and Gudjohnsen for the rest of the season. That's a good quartet.

So if Naughton and Hutton are off, who is our backup RB?
I can't see both of them going...

because we see a player who "could" have been great for us, he does things that none of our other strikers can do, But he has been overlooked by Harry (IMO) purely because he signed the other three strikers (and is fairly amiable and therefore less likely to kick up a fuss) Keane because he's "great in the dressing room" (perhaps he plays PES really well :shrug
and Crouch because i assume he is a good look-out for when Harry is selling his dodgy watches 'dan the market'.
IMO if Crouch is still a first choice striker at this club next season then Harry won't see out the season...

Any chance you could elaborate a bit on that? And maybe provide examples?
In Pav's 30 appearances last season, I struggle to remember one game in particular where you think back "Pav had a 'great' game today". He never scored away from home in the league, and most of his goals were against either lower league opposition or weakened teams in the cup. I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I'd genuinely like to know.
As for the second bit in bold.......will you be one of those calling for HR's head if we are 4th at the end of Jan 2011????:shrug:

he is more likely to do the unpredictable which can break down stubborn defences (and by that i don't mean like crouches unpredictable control that ends in an impromptu keepy upy session that invariably ends with one or two defenders robbing him like a weak kitten. (SO frustrating!) he does not just play the way he is facing he has awareness of players movement around him and can carry the ball, and i have seen him switch play with pinging cross-field balls (who of the other 3 can do that?) he is a good finisher with both feet, and can create his own (and others') chances.
Maybe he was hampered by not learning the Language (Jamma Jamma doesn't cut it...) but that's a failure in management also as not everyone has the aptitude to do so, or learns in the same way.
I wish you the best of luck wherever (if) you go Pav, just wish we could have seen more of you.
as for the bit in bold; No, but i assume if we are that he already has binned Crouch
:grin:
I hope Eidur has still got something in his locker and can become a first choice for the rest of the season (if Pav goes...)

A-men to that.
Pavlyuchenko has scored 5 Premier League goals ALL AT HOME.
It's not like he adds any other dimension than scoring goals. He's not a target man, despite his relatively advanced height. He's not pacy. He's not overly skilful. He isn't a foil for any of our other strikers. OK, yes, he has an outstanding surname but come on. Really?
