So you advocate getting rid then?
That's way a lot of a our fans think, we'll never get any youngsters come through and be world class players, way to quick to dismiss young talent or so it seems.
How many fans have already discounted Jo? I personly can't see a way back for him at City, although I actully think that'll he'll turn out a good striker.

Of course we need an ade type player to add to the attack you could argue RSC fits the bill but like its been said before 2 for every position, we have noone to head the ball in the box we are woefull at scoring from crosses and corners. If ade came or any other st i think caicedo would be gone, maybe boj, ebans, and benjani be it on loan or transfers as they just arn't needed, these extra strikers you are all moaning about are 5-6 goal a season players not goal scorers in anyones book

At times, at others we could have plaed for 5 days and still wouldn't have come close.We have 6 attacking forwards who I mentioned in my post, I personly think that's enough, as we weren't exactly short of goals last year were we?
But why wait? Were getting on with other targets aswell.Again I'm not saying no to Ade coming just that we're not really in dire need and could probably afford to wait till January if need be and see how we're doing.
Doesn't matter, as Adebayor is better than any strikers we currently have.Let's also not forget if another striker does come more than likely 2 of those 6 I mentioned will probably be sold/loaned.
Aaaaah, DLBIA, you'll be talking Hughes up in no time.

The dutch league is garbage. Alfonso Alves scored 45 in 39 games there. Enough said I think!
And yes he still has a decent record at Madrid aswell but very few games so far.

Sky keep saying Ade was at the Arsenal training ground this morning saying goodbye, that would surely mean the deal is very close to happening.

Indeed.
I fully endorse getting rid of Big Phil...... even if only on loan.
He's like Micah, but plays upfront.
He can't shoot accurately from more than 8 yards out, he doesnt have any tricks, he's fairly physical yes, he's fairly young, yes, but if you asked me would I pick him infront of Adebayor, RSC, Tevez, Robinho, SWP, Bellamy, Bojinov, Petrov, I'd say no.
I'd say we would be much better letting one of the young lads like Mak or Chimely have a crack if it came down to it.
He's at an age where he will need first team football to advance, but I wouldnt even pick him in my first 8 attacking players. For the good of the player & us.

My mate works in the city shop they have just been informed to expect tomorrow to be even busier than they first imagined due to "a new signing tomorrow". Can only suggest it will be announced tomorrow morning. Make of that what you will.

Our strikers next season should be:
Tevez & Bellamy on the right
RSC & Ade in the middle
Robby on the left
I'd keep Bojinov OR Caicedo but not both. I think Big Phil has already said West Ham want him. I'd only want them to be loaned at this stage.
Evans is going to Sheffield United isn't he?
And I just wish someone would take Benji off us! I'll love him for THAT GOAL (off his shoulder) but he needs to move on.
So really we only have 4 main strikers if we sign Ade with Robinho free or on the left. And then Boj as back-up would be my choice. I don't think that will suit Boj though. He needs to play a lot of games next season after all his injuries so I think he will be loaned out.
