who's this Destro guy we are allegedly trying to sign......source is Goal. Saying FB is there trying to tie up the deal and selling Sandro to Napoli for £9m. I thought FB was in america

Destro would be alright, but he's more in the Soldado mould and er.. we got one of those

With the seemingly imminent arrival of Ben Davies it's another one over for us on Liverpool!

He will join Gylfi Sigurdsson & Clint Dempsey in a list of players that have come and er... prospered (?) here.

:(
Third time lucky? *prays*

To be fair to Liverpool, they did pip us to Joe Cole and Charlie Adam...

Yep. Liverpool bid for players that they want us to buy. Clever bastards.

We are not really learning. It was obvious last year Soldado was not a line leader. We really need Benteke, Bony or Lukaku,( ironically Ade is better on his day than all three which sadly seems to be about three games a season) . I was in favour of Bony last year but we got Soldado who've tried to support but I feel the leagues style is beyond him. I'm so hoping we see more from Bobby this year as he seems a good guy.

Someone really needs to keep an eye on Baldini. that said if Lamela stays I think we will see great improvement from him.

To be fair to us both, this is the calibre of player remaining after West Ham have beaten off competition from a host of top clubs to sign the best ones.

I disagree, I don't think we need a Benteke, Bony or Lukaku at all, we need a Soldado type, but we also need players with an ability to create chances for him. Using the powerful type of strikers against the tight defences we often face is just not going to work, we need guile. OK having a powerful type of striker as a third options for those games against certain opposition when they could prove useful but I'd far rather intelligent skilful, sharp strikers as first and second choices

As for this rumour I just don't see us selling Sandro for £9 mill which raises question marks about the other bit

To be fair Benteke, Lukaku and Bony in terms of goals all did pretty well against those same tight defences we faced last season. Personally I'd love a consistent Adebayor next to Bobby, I could see that working.... 100% we need more creative players behind though.
