I'd rather watch him waste a few than have someone who doesn't get those chances in the first place.

Ohh no not another season with Ade wasting chance after chance. Hope we pull of someone better.

Higuain? Aguero? Van Persie? Rooney? Cavani? Sanchez? Villa? Torres? Falcao?

Beyond those strikers, I struggle to see anyone vastly better than Ade. And all the above are unaffordable.

Good post. people moan and complain but tell them to come up with a realistic alternative and they're lost.

For the same money as we are paying for Ade? Damiao is overrated and half the people who are calling for us to sign him have probably never seen him play. Remy is more of a wide forward imo.

Agreed. It does rankle somewhat. The man wasn't a minute's problem, worked hard (mostly), and scored 17 goals while setting up twelve more. For roughly 10 million quid (including the signing-on fee, else it'd be just five million) I cannot find a single striker who can better that.

we might yet sign one of these two, and with Ade on board either one of Remy or Damiao will have time to adjust to the Premier League and english football and can be slowly introduced to the team
 
Why? Ade is a proven premiership scorer,17 goals and 11 assists last season that's 28 goals potentially missing from the team but you would rather take a punt on players with no PL experience? Makes no sense to me. Plus they would cost a lot more than the reported 6m we are going to get Ade for.
 
and even if Ade flops for whatever reason, there will always be a QPR or West Ham etc waiting in the wings ready to offer 12 mill plus for his services, meaning a nice profit for all the trouble

Levy=financial genius
 
The other thing with Ade is that he had 4 legit goals chalked off for offside. So he was effectively a 20 goal a season striker last year, plus the boatload of assists. Amazing piece of business if we effectively pay for him by selling Pienaar.
 
as i mentioned yesterday, Man U paid us 32 mill for sulky Berbatov who never managed a season like Ade had for us last season in terms of goals and assists in the league, and we are getting Ade for 5-7 mill

its outrageous how Levy is getting away with it =D>
 
Adebayor for £5m all day long over unproven strikers in the prem.

The guy is proven, knows the whole team, and will probably be a better fit in our new system with AVB and the 4-3-3

Not our fault other clubs have more money than sense.

berbs had several amazing seasons for us dude, and he scored in a cup final. his partnership with Keane was excellent. I do agree however, that £5m is a snip by comparison if true - i imagine the signing on fee is pretty hefty though.

for Utd or Spurs?

in his 2 seasons at Tottenham, iirc Berbatov never managed 17 goals and 11 assists in either league season

season 2006/2007.....12 goals, 11 assists
season 2007/2008.....15 goals, 11 assists

and Man u go and pay 32 mill
