I haven't seen anyone linked with Stefan Kießling. I don't really know anything about him other than his stats are very good. Anyone know anything about him?
A couple of players that I haven't seen mentioned here and that I don't think we have been linked with;
Adem Ljajic - yes the guy who got punched in the mouth by his manager at Fiorentina. He's been in the shadows of Jovetic but he is a good bloody player from what I have seen (not very much tbh) - and could work both as wing forward and a second striker. In a dynamic 4-3-3 I think he would be good. His stats are surprisingly better than Jovetic's in terms of conversion, shots, goals and assists. Might be a cheaper option and since Fiorentina have just bought Gomez it might be a good option for us to swoop in.
But the player I would go for would be ....
Kevin Gameiro - remember him? No, well he was the top scorer in Ligue 1 a couple of seasons ago, and moved to PSG at the start of the money revolution at the Parc de Prince. Since then he has been hiding in the shadows looking at Ibrahimovic having all the fun. Now with the purchase of Cavani I would bet my right nut that he is getting nowhere near that team. Still only 26 but he wouldn't cost a fortune. I would have imagine that lot down the road would have been all over this. He's a clinical finisher and would be fantastic with the creative team we are building. In my humble opinion of course.
Gameiro is a good shout but is he really better than Defoe? He looks good in the French league but they're actually pretty similar players.
Yes. He is quite good for me in FM
With it looking like we will spend 25 million on Soldado - are there better options for a lower price out there? I can't think of many even though it is a large fee.
If there were, we'd be in for them, and so would all the other top clubs in Europe. There are quite a few people who bang on about Bony but don't ask themselves why Milan, Chelsea, United, Juve, Bayern, Arsenal, Dortmund etc. didn't move for him. They don't ask themselves what happened to other Eredivisie top scorers, either (Suarez is the exception that proves the rule).
Think we have to go for it and keep our fingers crossed that he isn't another Morientes.
Valencia want too much for a 28 year old.
Van Nistelrooy and Van Persie made pretty decent transitions from Holland!
