By others I suppose you mean the other players you listed that I don't particularly want either, for what it's worth.

Another way to look at it is he's 33, past having any relevance at the top level and looking for a nice big payday and a nice way to wind down to retirement, which he can do in New York (and which he probably will do in New York).

Personally I wouldn't want Henry. He's been shite every time I've seen him this year. I would rather go for Klose. We won't though.

I wouldn't want Klose, he's making Henry look vibrant this season.

I'd rather someone who can score goals with his feet at the highest level still, not sign a player for his potential shirt sales.

not saying he'd be the mythical 20 goal a season striker but he'd be a hell of coup for Randy and would provide a bit of guile, not to mention a superb player for gabby and Fonz to learn from

Spunk our money over a player who wouldn't score that many when we're crying out for a 20+ goal forward. Yeah great logic Greg.

he'd cost hardly nothing in fees, the wages would be offset by the shirt sales but i take your point. if there's 15+m to spend on a striker by all means, i just think we'll end up spending 10m on someone no better

Spending £10m on Cole would be a better investment than Thierry, but I wouldn't want Cole either.

Lardarse will stumble his way to Spuds in the close season and join 'Onest 'Enry at The Lane.

God, how I hate the pair of them.

Doubt it. Barry wouldn't get into the Spurs team...unless they signed him as LB and pushed Monkey boy forward.

He's not a better left-back than Assou-Ekotto.

He wouldn't get in the team then unless they had a few players injured.
