That is a very good point. If the Osvaldo story is true, and he did reject us -- What other £17m strikers are out there that are worth a punt?

Navy-Saint (or Navy-Red) Can't remember his name - Used to post really good reports on the youth team games.

Yuck

He certainly fits the bill for how we like our 2 central midfielders to play.

I'd certainly heard of him. But that was mainly due to the earlier FM games. Think anyone who trawled through the Premier league reserve sides for loan signings would've remembered of him from his Chelsea days.

Osvaldo is quality.... But if we're eager to cross Roma's palms with silvers, I'd rather it be for Lamela.

Agreed, Bear. But someone mentioned him a while ago so figured I'd post it.

From SKY:- Oscar Cardozo has recently been linked with a move to Fenerbahce, but O Jogo is reporting that an unnamed Premier League club have offered €17million (£14.6m) for the Benfica striker. The likes of Everton and Tottenham Hotspur have also recently been linked with a bid to sign the Paraguayan, while he has been mooted as a replacement for Edinson Cavani at Napoli.

Wanyama? Banega? Both? Anyone else loving this?! - Last summer we were linked with Liam Trotter, Mark Davies & Jermaine Jenas

....Until January

John Cross broke the story 1st, I believe.

Samuel Ameobi ‏@Sammy_Ameobi Wow at least get my name right

It seems like a complete joke. Have Newcastle even announced it officially? I just saw him on SSN talking about it. Pards will no doubt be fuming - LOL at giving Kinnear final decision on signings and playing style.

Think he's including Banega...

Crikey. I knew he was highly rated. Didn't know he was £8m rated though.

The 20m Liverpool target?

That is awesome. (But Lamela? - Really?)

5'9"?!

I'm still not sold on Hooper as a lone striker in the prem. 8 million for someone who's out of contract next summer is crazy as well.

Bournemouth or Reading (Under Nigel) would be good clubs for JWP for a season.
