Your jumping ahead of the gun there. We are supposed to be linked with someone before you claim them to be appalling.

No matey, I'm offering an opinion on someone with the staggering career record of 20 goals in 90 Prem appearances.

Our strikers in recent years could have learned something from that strike ratio, aside from Anelka and Davies last season.

Perhaps, but I think we should be aiming our sights higher than City's eighth choice striker

I would like to also but it depends how much of our kitty gets sucked up on sorting the midfield out. Also I assume any striker we sign this season is to complement Elmander and Davies, and not replace one of the two. If Elmander doesn't sort it out we may be searching in January.

We could put a cheeky bid in for Makakula if you want? :-)

He must be good - he plays for Benfica.

No, you're forgetting. Players are only good if they are about to sign for someone else.

What's Frazier Campbells PL scoring record?

1 game, 0 goals. You're right, he must be shit.

Shit, maybe. A bigger gamble at £3.5mil (rising to £6mil) than Benjani would be on loan? Definately.

Presumably with Robinho in midfield, Santa Cruz in the stands and sanity nowhere to be seen

City signing Adebayor for £22m would be ridiculous! He's had one good season and is just not worth that sort of money. Appropriately shown by Arsenal fans making a brochure for him to send to interested clubs!
