I saw £15m in relation to Sheff u a while ago but it was just paper talk.

Even so, as ridiculous as it is, £20m for a youngish championship striker with that goal record is cheap in the current market.

Pay as you play deal at the very best for Sturridge. Nothing more.

Seems a lot, expecting two rookies to score the goals we'll need to stay up.  I know we'll get a few from midfield too but it's not as if the other strikers on our books are going to make defences shit themselves.  Still, if Smith thinks he's the one it's important we back him.  There's always January I guess.


well I'm backing the rookie manager in his first year at the top level so it's going to be a steep learning curve all round i suppose

Bollox! It seems Rafael Leão is off to Valencia for approximately £32m. To think Lille got him a year ago for nothing. Nice business. I expected Everton to have made a bid but it seems they still lack ambition.

I haven't payed a great deal of attention to the top flight whilst we have been out of it but Everton are just odd. They would have you believe they are skint and then find £50m down the back of the sofa for one player.

Needs a fresh start and to get the right supply.

For me Hogan is a good champion striker, solid pro, albeit streaky and confidence dependent. I think his early days with us under numb nuts Bruce proved too hard to recover from. I don’t think that reflects too badly on him. He never sulked, tried when he came on and contributed including on loan.

Personally I’d like to see him go to a good championship side and if he’s looked after he’ll always score goals at that level.

He is 27 and has only had two good goalscoring seasons. One with Rochdale and one with Brentford. But maybe Warnock can get a tune out of him in the Championship.

Hogan did absolutely naff all for us at considerable expense, often looking clueless.  Yes conditions were tough at times but that's when good players step up.  He just went further into his shell.
