I suggested this last week, or possibly the week before. Rule nothing out.
Klaas Jan Huntelaar - Signed for Milan

75k a week on a crock who can manage only 50% of the games of Terry (150k a week) Ferdinand (120k a week) who play 60 plus games a season.
How can a club that is so restricted in wage structures validate this, anyone else find this hard to fathom?

according to Marca, Arsenal have bid 17.3m:
Wenger quiere que Huntelaar sea su nuevo Adebayor y el Arsenal podría ofrecer 17,3 millones al Madrid
El delantero holandés cuanta con varios pretendientes en el mercado, aunque tras rechazar la millonaria oferta que el Stuttgart presentó por él parece que 'El Cazador' tiene entre ceja y ceja la Premier League.
Hasta el momento el Tottenham es el equipo británico que más interés había mostrado por él, pero en las últimas horas el Arsenal de Wenger aprieta fuerte por el ariete blanco.
Los millones ingresados por el traspaso del Adebayor al City parece que han animado a los 'gunners' a ir a por Hunteelaar, y según publica el diario 'Sunday Express' la oferta del Arsenal por el holandés rondará los 17,3 millones de euros.
Otro jugador que tiene en la recámara el Arsenal para reforzar su punta de ataque es el joven brasileño Wellington (Fluminense), un jugador al que siguen muy de cerca Barcelona, Real Madrid y Manchester United.
I think they're just printing rumors though, since it's according to the Sunday Express.

- · El Arsenal tiene dinero fresco tras ingresar 30 millones por Adebayor
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar lo tiene claro, y mucho más depués de la sentencia de Mauricio Pellegrini sobre él: "Hunteelar no tiene sitio en este equipo".

You've lost me. In fact, I suspect you've lost everyone.

I think the Hunterlaar deal is looking less and less likely now.
It seems as though Crouch will be signed and Bent moved on to Sunderland. I would expect that to be the sum of our dealings in terms of our strikers.
It's not inconciveable that he could still be brought into replace one of Pav or Keane (depending on Redknapp's opinion of those) but I would say it is unlikely.
Crouch and Defoe was his first choice partnership at Pompey and looks as if he is going to recreate that with us.
Why bring in Hunterlaar also? He would only be signed as a first choice striker surely and would would expect the same for Crouch. So unless Defoe were to be relegated to the bench in favour of a Crouch and Hunterlaar partnership I really can't see either (Crouch and Hunterlaar) being brought in for a huge fee and big wages to be 3/4th choice strikers.
I now fully expect to see Crouch and Defoe as our starting strikers next season with Pav covering and rotating with Crouch and KEane doing the same with Defoe (and of course each fighting for the starting spots.)
My main/only reservation about us signing Crouch is my distaste for managers trying to reproduce excatly what they had at another club...it reminds me of the situation we had with Gerry Francis and his obsession with turning us into his (relatively) successfull spell at QPR bringing in Sinton and Ferdinand represented (to me) a lack of ideas and simply trying to go with what you know (when so many other variables were differnt from his days at Rangers)
So I still would somewhat prefer Hunterlaar although I am happy if we sign Crouch and see it as the realistic option and maybe the best we can expect (and I Would agree that it is a better more balanced strike force than that we currently pocess)

I'm sure Pav & Keane signed as a first choice strikers? and not that long ago either!

They were not brought in at the same time.
Pav was brought in as a replacement for Berbatov at a time where we had just lost both members of a very successful strike partnership, as I recall the only other striker brought in at that time was Campbell on loan so at the time he was brought in to be the main striker and no other high profile striker was brought in (which was the point I was making)
As for the baring on this situation we see now, well he was brought in by a differnt manager with differnt ideas, so it has no relevance to now. The new manager may simply not see him as being his first choice.
Keane was brought in at a time where we were desperate to stay in the league and needed goals badly. We had already signed a first choice striker yes...but he was then injuried, I am only assuming here but I would suggest that had Defoe remained injury free Keane would not have been signed.
Or atleast Harry was thinking further forward and decided that both Pav and BEnt were not up to standard and would need replacing long term.
It's not out of the question that both Crouch and Hunterlaar would be brought in, but it would surely mean that 2 out of Bent/Keane/Pav would need to be sold and one of Hunterlaar/Crouch/Defoe would have to be recent expensive signings brought in to be second string.
It would represent alot of recent movement and do little for our squad cohesion. (although you could argue it would be improvement)
I personally see only one striker being brought in and most likely that being Crouch in Bent out as I previously wrote.

As well as Bent? Not so sure about that.
why not, they basicly have every other spurs outcast there 
reid and malbranque however were sunderland's best players on friday against benfica. reid looks a lot slimmer too.
tainio came in from the bench and looked out of his depth. benfica won with 2 - 0. their trio of argentines of aimar, saviola and di maria posed all sorts of problems for the sunderland defence.
kenwyne jones missed 2 huge sitters.

even though you said pav we know you meant bent
i agree, keane and bent should go while defoe and pav should stay when both crouch and huntelaar come in.

Right heres my take on this
Huntelaar i dont know how many times i have to say it do not want him he is not good enough for them prem
Crouch - Awesome was my number 1 target all summer i would love him hes prem proven and we cannot go wrong
Im sick of these fancy dan big name signings because they just take so long to settle giving us a bad start then we sack our manager then we have hell of run get to a final of a cup and qualify for europe with new manager and it all starts again :lol:
and some of us need to calm it down in here
