We're going to have to go after someone in that price bracket now if we have any hope of Bale staying next season (14/15).

I don't know if it's Levy's negotiation tactics or an unwillingness to spend a penny more than we can get away with but it's to the detriment of the first team

I think Levy suffers from SSC....signing striker complex :(

2 if Defoe is sold

I disagree. We only need two strikers if we are going to play 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. They just have to both fit those systems. Ade and one more would give us a decent enough strike force for next season.

So no Villa, Damaio, Gomez or Krcic. Our options are definitely decreasing. Higuain and Osvaldo are unlikely; Jese isn't good enough yet and Soldado and Benteke are probably out of our (Levy's) price range. Who's left?

Can't see where our next striker is going to come from.

Who are we after? Although Villa went against our policy it just made sense at this point in time.

think we are going have to break the Paulihino record amount to get a top top striker hope levy has got this

It isn't a case of got the money, it's a case of will to invest what is necessary to stop us from going backwards (Bale cannot do it on his own).

Or if you mean does Dan understand this, I bloody well hope so!

FFS.

Villa has the quality and guile that we've needed. A young player might be exciting and interesting to find out just how good they can be, but Villa would be that cool head on the pitch, capable of taking the ball and playing it or carving out a shooting opportunity and testing/beating the keeper as a guarantee.

Not many better options - even if it would have been for only 2 years.

Well we spent £17m on Paulinho so no reason not to spend the same or more on a striker!


Yeah because we have unlimited money. I just don't see the striker available Daniel Levy will bid lots of money. And if there are such striker, someone else can offer CL and get him with a few quids more.

Tried to tell you guys. We'll be bidding for Gary hooper on September 1st. Levy will haggle and haggle for a top striker, but has no problem splashing out 17 million for a midfielder. He is trolling us.
