If not Damiao, then who?

If Gary Hooper really is available for £4million, which I doubt, he'd be a good, fairly inexpensive signing to do a job up top. Any more than that and you're looking at the next class of striker up from him. Let's keep annoying Spurs and bring in Soldado or Villa. That'd please 'em!

according to this dimarzio article someone posted in the Damiao thread, Galatasaray have told Fiorentina that he'll cost €15m

relevant bit

 

Hmm, fair enough. Maybe a decent call, don't know loads about him. Five years is a long contract for a 27 year-old though

[Leicestersaint]

Lukaku would be the top of my shopping list and those who think he'd cost £30m I would suggest you lay off the weed.

 

What I don't want us to do is spunk a sh.itload of ££ on a Carlos Kickaball who has never played in Europe but who the FM wan.kers think is mint.

 

I agree.

If we are to miss out on this fella then ill give it a hr before people will be linking other forwards to us.

 

I'm sure we have a few options for a forward so we will just move onto the next one

Scotland's top scorer has signed for a Dutch club that finished 1 above the relegation places last season, scored 7 more league goals than Hooper.

[SuperSAINT]

What about Burak Yilmaz? Reportedly would cost €15m, excellent goal record last year (24 in 30 league games & 8 in 9 in CL). strong, quick & excellent in the air.

 

Liverpool interested...
