Morning all,
With the news on Suarez going quiet for the time being, and the relative lack of other strikers available, what are your thoughts on Jackson Martinez. I confess i have seen very little of the guy, but he has been very prolific this season for Porto. Plus he looks built for the premiership. Rumoured to have a £40m release clause, £15m less than what pool want for Luis and would be a straight forward deal. Thoughts?
For our attacking/wide midfielder, Christian Erisken. Gone under the radar the last 18 months, can cover the wide and central attacking midfield areas. Could free up Santi to play centrally or take up the role himself. De Boer has confirmed he will leave, been linked to the prem. Most importantly been under the guidance of the man god Dennis. A wise aquisition perhaps at a very reasonable price?
Finally, Capoue. Again, linked with the prem and had a £9m bid accepted from Cardiff, although they appear to be struggling to convince him that Wales is the place to be. We made an apparent bid in January and he was previously linked to Barcelona. Solid and disciplined DM who can also play CB. Again, your thoughts?
Just a potential trio of signings who would really strengthen us in the areas required for the touted £70m
Jackson Martinez and more

At Chelsea he would be first choice though

Unless Abramovic still makes Torres start at least 25 games a season.

well if porto do sell him, they'll get that bernard kid in probably regardless he looks certain for a move to porto.
If only we could convince them to take Bendtner all would be good.

Martinez is a cracking player. Watched him alot last season and he is a very good powerful striker.
Can Bully Defenders but also has some great touches.
He has a 40Mil clause in his contract according to his agent so porto cant do anything if someone matches it however he did state he was happy in porto.
I'd buy him for £40Mil
Cesc for 30Mil
Capoune for £10

I though Bendtner is being exchanged for Gamez.
Solves our centre back problem with Sagna as our CB.

Im also very suprised we didnt bid for Mario Gomez he is going to score a bag full in Italy.

i was messin around with that bendtner move to porto, just want the lad off our books for good, he was close to signing for Sporting last season tho.
According to rumors FC Twente are interested in him, why dont we sign Eriksen & give them bendtner for free.

I think the thinking behind that one is that he's facking dreadful and would score fewer than Giroud while having an infinitesimally inferior all-round game.

Gomez has the same issues as Huntelaar. Although they are more prolific than Giroud, their movement is just as limited. And our style requires a lot of movement and link up play.
