Supposedly Chelsea want this guy but they have Torres, Ba and Lukaku. Says Kiessling wants London and is available for £6 mill.
15 goals in 22 league appearances. described as a 6'3" "powerhouse" but looks a lot like 3MP.

I really like what I've seen of Kiessling , which admittedly isn't a massive amount but the downside is he's 29, but for 6m would definitely be an option.
When I've seen him before Kiessling has been more of a wide/second striker - a Dirk Kuyt
Derdiyok was the main man and real talent in that BL frontline.
I think that Kuyt would be quite an AVB type player, hard working and can play a number of positions
But that's Demspey.
The one forward we need is a big, reasonably quick, sharp-shooting lone #9.

Of course, of course. Although it wouldn't surprise me if Dempsey was only with us for one season and that it was a deal that we did because the price was right.

As well as being young, PL experienced and Belgian? :-"
No Spurs gossip today but a couple more German targets for other clubs. Is there any particular reason EPL clubs are linked to more German players or is it just coincidence.
I can understand French players coming because of the income tax situation but why ze Germans?
They are hard working and skillful players and have been coached the right way, the german youth football system is now one of the best in the world, with freund with us i would hope we can sign a few ourselves. This rode chap sounds good but i have never seen him play, fits the bill for us though in that he is young and his contract is nearly out so not expensive.
Here's some interesting news, Inter have invited John Carew for a trial, and he's in Milano now to conduct physical tests..... He won't be cup tied for the Europa league as he hasn't played for anyone since beeing released by West Ham. Wonder what kind of shape he's in?
