Hammers and Sporting chasing Big Phil ....MERGED.

[Da_Blu_Moona]

Legend in the making.

Has the potential to be better than Drogba if he improves on his heading ability.

Send him on loan to West Ham and watch him get 15-20 premier league goals and come back here in another years time.

I think we should sell, he scores jammy goals nothing to do will skill

Something Shaun Goater became renowned for.

Cut the guy some slack FFS.

Ok, it was abit harsh, but I'm not a fan of his and really can't see what all the fuss is about.

Keep him.

If he goes, we'll regret it.

Re: Hammers and Sporting chasing Big Phil ....

Is he good enough now for a team challenging the top four? Undoubtedly No
Is he going to get get good enough for a team challenging the top four? Very probably not, in my opinion.

Is having him around unhappy on a good contract taking reserve team positions our Academy lads could be fighting for a good thing? Not in my opinion either.

Therefore, thanks for the effort and the goals, big man, hope you have a good career. But we're moving on.

I'm sorry mate but judging this type of player at 20 is just not on. Didier Drogba from ages 20-23 scored 11 goals in 62 games in French division 2, John Carew scored 19 goals in 43 in the Danish league, Ibrahimovic scored 16 goals in 40 in the Swedish ;league.

So going by that we can't rule him out yet, but he has a better ratio 8 in 14 in a much harder division. Personally I wouldn't let him go until he was 25ish and not showing much, these players peak very late and it looks like Big Phil is showing a lot know, so hopefully he won't peak and will keep improving because if he does we will have something very special.

Disclaimer: I know it isn't nailed on that he will turn out good but why not take the chance.

Caicedo-West Ham want me!

Only today (Sunday), I received a call from the people at Sporting," he told El Telegrafo.

"There is still nothing concrete, but they told me that they have already spoken to the officials at City.

"There are several offers - not just Sporting. There's a number of clubs in Portugal, Spain and also England. The only English club I can name is West Ham."

Despite the interest, Caicedo says that City want him to stay.

"I've been told that I'm going to stay here, plus I have a contract with more than three years remaining at City," he added.

Surprising amount of interest,if we buy Eto'o would you still keep him?
I would could be a good prospect
