I really do think it'd be worth trying for Falcao or Hulk, if we're stymied by wages we really have to aim for strikers on the up rather than on the way down with bloated wages. I think Fabiano, Forlan and co would do a decent job of improving us, but if we can't afford them so be it.
I think there's a lot more to run in this window, every final day always has a few surprises and with the money that's starting to move around (Suarez-Pool, Pazzini-Inter, Torres-Chelsea?) I think it's not out of the question that something may fall into our laps at the last minute. Not the ideal position to go into the end of the transfer window when we need a striker so badly, but I do understand Levy's need not to break the wage structure. I just wish we'd gambled a bit more with our scouting and realised how far out of our budget these players were earlier - it does all seem a little flat-footed.

I have to say that I actually agreewith Matt here. Its one of only two things I have been worried about since he came to the club.
Don't get me wromg. I love Harry, best manager since I have been a fan, bar none. But the small club/wheeling & dealing atttiude and the baseless player loyalties leave me stumped at times. I think what we are seeing is inexperience at the top. I just hope that it faals into place over the rest of this season.

Something tells me that they wouldn`t have doubled their bid for Suarez if they didn`t know that Torres was leaving.

You would have been happy spending £24m on Bent? Eek
Really!
mg:Dont'cha know you shouldn't bash an ITK.
Although if it is an ITK doing it, is there an immunity shield? :wink:

From what I hear he's not that much involved with coaching. More the picking team and man-motivation (if he likes the player)
Unfortunately we aren't going to get a Mourinho and the new generation of managers such as Vilas-Boas could end up like Ramos.

I wasn't calling for his head or anything, he's a fantastic manager, but when the funds are there and he's even been told by Levy to spend them it's horrendous. He's admitted himself that's he's uneasy about spending big, which is because of his small club mentality, which is what I said.

Spending big on a striker is a great idea. But if it's not the right one, the money's gone and the problem still isn't fixed. Would any of you have been thrilled if we'd bought Benty back?
I find that incredibly easy to believe.
