according to other media, we are also in the hunt for andy johnson and jermaine penant. not to mention anelka.
would love to see pennant in our team. seen him play a couple of times only but he looks to be a very good winger, just what we need. but i wonder about johnson (or anelka) if we get morientes. some articles claim we would be getting one more forward in addition to morientes. we may have too many forwards next season. baros, cisse, pongolle and mellor plus another 2 forwards. i suppose it would mean the end of the road for poor mellor (or even pongolle) but it'd be a pity. mellor has got a lot of improving to do but he's one of our home grown talents and i would love to see him do well. and he's a natural finisher too, so i really loath to lose him cos players like him are rare. pongolle too is doing well and improving, though he's a bit light weight. we'll see, i guess.
in order of preference, now my hopes are that we sign:
morientes (or anelka also can)
pennant
aimar
don't think we'll have the cash to get 3 players but would be nice

and cesar (coming along with morientes's deal) would be great too.
and though johnson seems a long shot, the deal for him apparently includes henchoz and.... DIAO!!! for that reason alone, i harbour hope that it's true
