zhapchit said:andy johnson? well if he comes cheap.. maybe?
Wayne Routledge? Niemi?
was hoping saints would stay up... sighz..
20m for mickey? that's crazy
Niemi will be a good signing for Pools... He's more consistent compared wih Dudek and he's no. 1 in Finland so Hyypia shd works well with him.zhapchit said:andy johnson? well if he comes cheap.. maybe?

Andy Johnson, a bit overrated. I think for a mid-table team, he may do the job but not for us. I would prefer to sign Henri Camara... adds a bit of flair and unpredictablity to the side.

Ya man... Andy Johnson is not that great... Dun forget he scored 10 or is it 11 penalties in this season. Also, he played as a lone striker and all the games for Palace. If say Cisse, Baros or Morientes played all games for us as a lone striker and have 13 penalty opp, i think they will easily topped the 22 goals johnson scored.wong_se said:how cheap ? Aston Villa bid Baros for 3m. So I would consider Andy Johnson if he is as cheap as 1.5m.
For me...Andy Johnson just like Marcus Stewart and Kevin Philips few seasons ago. They all suprised everyone that they came from 1st Division Club to EPL and bang in lots of goal ..but for that 1 season.
They showed they were on form on that season. Form is temporary but class is permanent.
ie..Alan Shearer. He had never been the top scorer for last 5 seasons in EPL...but would u rate him lower than Kevin Philips and Marcus Stewart (both had been top scorer at least for 1 season in EPL in the last 5 years).
If Andy Johson (who is only a 2nd top goal scorer in EPL this season) is proven to be good enough to play big club..then why no big club had snapped up Marcus Stewart and Kevin Philips to play for them right after the season that they were the top goal scorer the season ? MU would have come in with 10m, rite ?
If you read my earlier thread, i did mentioned that Malbranque is someone that i liked. However, Fulham is not a bad side and i dun see it happening now.Parchiao said:What about a midfielder who is both tenacious and skillful like Gerrard and Alonso whould be nice, someone in the mould of Steed Malbranque?

Yup... he will prob sign for Charlton (a fellow london club) or even Bolton (since they are in Uefa cup).wong_se said:I see Johnson as 1-season goal scorer. Anyway...I have a feeling that he will playing in EPL next season...may be teams like chalrton...might want to buy him..
A lot depends on who will stay. My guess is Smicer, Biscan, Vignal and Diouf definitely out. Diao shd be gone also (he's on loan to birmingham?)Parchiao said:Any guesses what kind of player Benitez is looking out for? He has already drawn up a list, and he has mentioned that the squad will be different from that of now.
