    Done well for Ireland in the qualifying campaign, however I think hes just a more physical Anthony Stokes with less composure

    * no. * is no better than what we already have, he'd be a waste of money and wont bring anything new to the table. Signing * would be utterly pointless.

    Seen somewhere hes only started 40 od games for west brom and has 19 goals and 9 assists. Which is decent and before yous say it i know thats hes played 80 od games but the majority are substitute appearances. He is kind of a combo of stokes and Hooper though so o dont think this gives us a alternative option. He also isnt anything like Rudnevs who we were linked with so i dont know what to make of thos.

    If we cant afford to spend then why are we paying anything for him? He is not going to improve us what so ever. They should * ditch this idea, give watt a chance and buy a * proven cb! I mean ffs this is getting soooooo frustrating

    He would be our smallest striker

    This.

    Plus what we should really b doing here is looking at players that better our weakest positions and players that give us different options in europe.

    This is a * buy

    Would be a decent signing, depending on price. But doesn't solve our target man problem, but not everyone needs a target man!

    * had a really good record with Swindon, but is he really going to improve on what we have? He's not a better finisher than Hooper, he's not a more talented player than Stokes and he's not as fast as Samaras. * in just means less game time for Tony Watt and that's really not worth the outlay at all.

    Then again, it is probably just the standard "link Celtic will every Irish internationalist ever" carry-on. If all the rumours over the years are to be believed, we've had more capped Irishmen than the Ireland team.

    rather him than Murphy, but no doubt they will be asking for around 1M so * that.

    I'd rather not buy him. The league is already won before a ball has been kicked so we should be looking to buy players to help us do well in Europe and I don't think * will do this

    hooper and stokes are pretty poor work rate wise and centre backs etc always seem to stroll out of defence , when larsson played i an always remember him saying his first job was to defend from the front

    He's a better player than Stokes in my view and with a shrunken budget we aren't going to be doing well in Europe anytime soon anyway

    a reason why we should only really invest in players to improve us in Europe. * probably isn't that player in my opinion. Just throwing money at a striker for the SPL is pretty foolish at this point.
