Loic Remy scored twice tonight for Marseille against Lille :rolleyes:

I've heard of Texiera, don't know anything about him though

Redknapp was there watching Remy apparently.

I remember when we were rumoured to be close to signing him a couple of seasons ago.

I still think it's a mistake and a repeated one if we go in for a striker in January. Bet there will be more options in the summer and more reasonably priced.

Well we do and we've got 17 games to make an impact this season but if we go spend £20mil+ on another striker, I can't see us changing our strikeforce of Suarez, Caroll and new buy for a few years yet.

Just feel it should be about making the right/perfect buy for the club long term, instead of just trying to patch up a hole in the water works with whatever works.

As long as it's our primary target and we're not settling for 2nd best, then this window would be fine.
Suarez was a January buy remember. Obviously if the price isn't right, don't do it, but if you get the right price for a good striker you go for it. But it's a hard market to find the perfect solution in January, but a good striker might be the different between top 4, so who knows.

Leon Best is doing well...

Kenny might fancy him for £25 million.

You love it.

Best could be the man to bring out the best in Carroll if you ask me :teehee:

I agree with this, however if Kuyt does get sold as people are now saying, I would be in favour of reinvesting that money back into a new striker. However, Suarez's ban is half over now, the run of difficult league games comes up after that so will there be a hole to plug by this time next month?

For me, a better buy would be someone with a bit of creativity, and someone who isn't scared of running into the box when we managed to cut in behind them.
Purchased 3 tickets for the Tottenham game, anyone know how the view is from 224?

We need a striker now I think.

I'm not one for panic buying, but we definitely need another striker.

Waiting till summer is too much of a risk, even if we can scrape 4th this year after 7 home draws would be a good achievement. It definitely isn't impossible though.
Anyone got any info on 224?
