I'd be quite happy to have Zamora. A definite upgrade on Heskey. A forward 'squad' of Bent, gabby, Zamora and one of the kids is decent enough. Maybe time to cash in - if we'd get any - on Delfouneso. He's becoming the Salifou or Osbourne of the bench. just there for the sake of it now.

Like most would say no to BZ. Could look at Carlton Cole as the porn mongers in cheif need to lose some more players if we need a forward.

News on the Sky Sports grpevine is Joe Cole is looking to come back in the Summer.

Personally I think we need a CM too anyone with an attacking brain will do please

I'm probably in the minority here, but I wouldn't say no to Cole as a short term loan.

Nat King Cole preferably :)

I'd prefer that  Russian fella, Sackov Cole ahead of Carlton.

Strikers is the last thing we should be looking at.  Gabby, Bent, Fonz and the Weimann chap are more than enough. 

Sell Heskey, Ireland, Beye and Collins.

Bring Clark into the team.

Buy 2 midfielder, a full back and central defender.

Reckon Cahill would come home?

cahill look odds on for chelsea. Coyle didn't even deny it  in an interview a while back and they've stuck alex on the transfer list to make room. Unbelievable fuck up by the north-east messiah

Hoping to stick around this time and post more regular, I was on here originally under the name of Brian Godfrey but had many computer problems and sort of gave up and never returned till now, I think Jol could be tempted into taking Ireland in a deal for Dempsey or Zamora and we really need to get rid of Stephen, its a real shame because I thought he was the real deal, what a waste.

Indeed who the hell sanctioned that sale, all this time and it still angers me. As we can no longer afford our former trainee maybe we could get Alex or Chris Samba instead.

Hi Paulie you are one of the big beasts I was talking about so many thanks for the nice welcome.   

Blimey you two, get a room

Since Paulie jumped into bed with Risso, expect a ménage à trois, Steve.

I would like us to take a punt on a virtually unknown from South America.

If the club emailed Tim Vickery from World Soccer he would give them the names of 6 players who could do a job for us.
Great, but no 'unknown' from that area will ever get a work permit.

Just me then that thought Cahill looked a good deal worse on Saturday than either of the two we've currently got there?

I agree Dave he has been poor all season and had a shocker at Spurs (he didnt deserve to get sent off though), if he goes to Chelsea he will be on the bench anyway as AVB has stated that Luiz and Terry are his 1st choice pairig

Not that you should believe everything a football manager says in relation to transfers, but when AVB was asked about him last week he said 'good player, but not interested,'  or words to that effect.

But maybe the decision will be taken out of his hands.  Could be a Chief Execs signing, pick him up for a song and sell him on in 12 months if he doesn't make an impact.

Whether it's nerves playing his ex club, or the (frankly suicidal) high line Bolton always play against our forwards, he nearly always looks ropey against us.

He must be doing something right in the other games to get the kind of attention he receives, but I must be honest and say I haven't seen it. During his time with us I liked him, and wanted to see him get more game time.  But he was far from impeccable then either.

I still think it's that he rocks up with the occasional spectacular goal. So people think he's a footballing centre half.
