Our attacking options are pretty limited and we need to bring in another out and out goalscorer who is going to get us 15-20 goals a season. It will be nice to have Yakubu back next season too! 
Jo has been an okay player for us, but lets be honest, he is still yet to set the Premiership alight. Sorry, but he isn't worth the £18M asking fee. Jamaine Beckford from Leeds has just been transfer listed as he refused to sign a 3 year extention to his existing contract. Not sure how he would deal with playing in the countries top division though. May be worth a shot at around £4M or £5M and we all know how Moyes looks at the lower divisions for tallent...
For now...3 days till Wembley!  |
Agreed that Owen would be worth a punt on a free, and on a more modest wage too. I really hope the Yak can come back as good as prior to his injury. His running and work-rate were never his strong points, but he knew how to score so fingers crossed for a quick return.
Jo would also be worth another loan if that was a possibility, but i too don't rate him worth anything like the fee City paid. I know we were after Kevin Kuranyi from Schalke? He would be worth a gamble if the fee was reasonable or better still, if a loan deal could be struck.
COYB!
