summer bargains

1) Luuk De Jong (FC Twente)- £12.5m. This is a 21 year old striker playing with average players around him and has scored a hat full of goals. yes its the dutch league but i think he's mobile enough to play in the premier league. he appears to have a much better all round game than carroll and for £12.5m, he'd be a snip of the price. this guy is probably worth around £18.

2) Scott Sinclair (Swansea)- £7m another unproven player who is average in the prem i hear you say. maybe but he's the sort of player we need. a winger with pace and confidence (unlike downing) to actually run at the full back and take him on. not only can he do this but he can score a few crackers as well. another young english player but again for £7million, i don't think you could argue.

3) Rasmus Elm (AZ Alkmaar)- £8m a xabi alonso replacement at last? he's got the ability, he's tall, strong, decent defensively, can take a great free kick and can put a decent cross in for the likes of carroll. he'd replace charlie adam in the midfield and would be competing with gerrard and lucas. we would also need to rely less on jay spearing who unfortunately doesn't look up to standard. in fairness £8m is probably not far off what he is actually worth but i think he could work in the midfield.

4) Aquilani (Liverpool)-FREE we paid £20million for him, so lets use it. he got some much needed creativity. with him in the side, we won't need to rely so much upon gerrard who simply is losing it. he's had a poor season apart from the everton game and when was the last time you saw gerrard smack one in from 30 yards like we used to. its time to start moving on and aquilani is a player who can do it and we've already git him!

5) Raheem Sterling (Liverpool)-FREE give this guy a chance. he is exactly what we need. bit a pace on the wing. could be a great impact player from the bench in home games. look at chamberlain at arsenal! he might even go to the euros. another player we've already got, so we might as well use him!
