We obviously need a target man - he obviously fits the bill perfectly.
Pulis and West Brom have tried to scupper all our deals - why not repay the favour?
I say bid whatever we can for him and if it came off he would certainly do a job. If it didn't at least it would annoy WBA.

Your're in the running to replace Pardew in my book

Sod it why not ! We need another option at striker and if Benteke goes there instead of to us, then surely they will want to recoup some of the 30+ mill benteke will cost. This could even force through a berahino bid they must be gutted he wants to run down his contract.

No I gave my reasons - plus they are in the market for a striker so why not? Way cheaper than the crocs we are looking at and well proven at this level. The more I think about it the happier I would be.
Nothing to do with scoring against us - he is an excellent overall target man proven on the big scene. We are looking at Carroll and Benteke - one is injured the whole time and will cost a bomb the other hasn't played for months now and will cost a bomb.

Red and Blue Army!

the trouble is as well as agreeing a fee you need to persuade the player to want to come to you club. after seeing us on saturday and witnessing the service that wickham didnt get why would he want to.
