...this summer [Rafa will] offload Craig Bellamy (back to Blackburn), Peter Crouch (to Newcastle), Robbie Fowler (to the gilded retirement home that is the MLS) and Dirk Kuyt (to some wealthy nature-lover fascinated by turtle-paced strikers with giraffe-like predatory skills). To replace that riff-raff, Rafa will attempt to seduce Benni McCarthy and David Villa, who's also being wooed by Chelsea and Juventus. Aware that neither of them are likely to be lured by the prospect of waiting in the middle for crosses that Bolo Zenden and Jermaine Pennant will never manage to deliver, Benítez is also plotting to bring in Morten Gamst Pedersen.

 

 

Villa, Pedersen and McCarthy?

 

What do we think of that?

Pedersen would be an improvement over anything we have on the left (unless Kewell gets back to his best).

 

McCarthy with 15 goals in his first season in the PL is very impressive, esepcially for an indifferent Blackburn side. It's no secret that he's a MU fan tho and just wonder if Utd are looking for another striker in the summer whether he might be on their shopping list?

 

David Villa's status and record speaks for itself.

 

I can't see all 4 strikers being sold tho esepcially with only 2 plus Voronin coming in.

My sentiments exactly. The Rumor Mill is nothing but a trawl of the tabloids as far as I know, so this means nothing whatsoever. Besides, I can't see Rafa selling Kuyt after apparently wanting him badly enough to convince Moores to stump up the necessary personally.

Sell Kuyt? Yeah right. Can see Bellamy leaving. Crouch could leave but I am not as convinced as I was a couple of months ago. Fowler will not be here next season.

 

Kuyt-Voronin-Crouch- ?

 

I think we will get 1-2 strikers in. Would not surprise me if Rafa kept Crouch, Kuyt amd brought in 3 including Voronin.

It's not even taken from the tabloids, it's just stuff random people make up and email in - this being one of the wilder ones and is just complete toss. I don't know why people bother posting this stuff from the 'rumour mills' - I mean just make up your own rumour instead of using someone else's, it's just as likely to be correct.

 

It's a total waste of time even typing it out, and pointing out what garbage it is is a waste of my time as well so stop it George!

The Guardian one is taken from the tabloids, Leo. (not that it lends the rumours much authenticity)

 

Posted purely for for people's amusement, but there's not many laughs on here today, though. Everyone's incredibly sensitive.

It wouldn't surprise me if all of our strikers were available this summer. It's almost certain Robbie is gone, but I would say we'd only let 1 more go - it would depend on who we can bring in and the price we can get for one of our srikers. For once we have players who might be available, but we possibly don't need to force the sale to make another deal happen, so we can get the right deal at the right price. I think Voronin might be a 5th striker.

Sounds like the last lad we got from Blackburn. Want to take a chance on a Blackburn player, go for Derbyshire.

I think we're all still a little tender from the first 45 minutes on Wednesday night George...:)

 

Whichever tabloid came up with us selling Kuyt who Rafa has chased for years and just managed to get, Crouch who he's already said will not be leaving (and Rafa is often evasive but he never actually lies or says anything untrue outright - he's too decent a man) and Bellamy who may or may not be sold to make way for our 'uber striker' should consider giving their sports editor a lethal injection.

 

And boy do I know which newspaper editor I'd like to see a lethal injection given to...

Is it just me who thinks pederson is avarage at best , dont want him near our club

 

I think that too. Be very disappointed if we get him.

 

I hope to see a strike force of

 

Kuyt, Crouch, New Guy, Top Class New Guy

 

With Vorinin and Garcia 'hole players' who can also play as a striker.

 

Although, I think Vorinin will be our 4th choice and it'll be Crouch, Kuyt, some average whopper like McCarthy, and Vorinin. Not getting my hopes up like ;) Hopefully i'll be shocked

 

Huntelaar/Eto'o/Villa etc... :yes:

Fowler will definately leave and maybe one of Bellamy and Crouch. I think Rafa will go all out for one from Villa, Etoo or Torres. He will also try to secure Alves. And that is that.

I just forgot. I think maybe Tevez could be added to that list... :mischief:
