      Redroy, agreed, where could we fit Berba in?

      Aguero is striker to isnt he? Left footed too (?)

      I think we have to buy specialised players in their positions.
      Yes predominently left footed, but I'd settle for having his right foot on my leg ;DThe reason why I like Aguero, is that while he is comfortable playing out wide in a traditional wing position, he would be capable of playing as a second top quality striker in 4-4-2 formation or alternately deputise for either Fernando or Stevie should this be needed. Oh and also he's Argentinian so not afraid to put his foot in when required :D

      Fair enough point mate, so like a Ryan Babel in your eyes? Cutting in from the wing.

      Exactly, Fernando's strength is going past defenders at pace, so we need players around him who can complement him not some one footed wonder who stays out wide and who's only contribution is to beat defenders and swing in balls into the "danger zone" wherever that is, that's ok if Crouch is the lone striker.

      Does anyone think rafa can take a winger who is already good and make them great?

      I think if he can we should get lennon. He is a great player when at his best and is very effective. As it seems we arent going for ashley young (my personal joint top target) i think lennon would be a good option he can be great under the right manager. He did manage to get nominated for young player of the year last season i think he is good but needs encouraagement and has found it hard playing under ramos but has still managed to put in some starring roles this season e.g. against arsenal in one of the cups springs to mind.

      Just read on BBC that Juande is targetting Bentley and we are chasing Lennon. So maybe...

      Could turn out to be a good move, i think lennon can be a great player, last season he suprised me every game i saw him play he was really impressiv and he's still only 20 years old. Ok he isnt the best yet but he still has alot to learn and alot of time to learn it in. He can destroy teams with his pace and some of his passing is great. I think if he came to us he would improve alot and he is one of those players that can both start a game well and threaten a defence as well as coming off the bench and working well against tired legs.

      Apparently  NEWCASTLE :( could land Lennon for as little as £4 million. Would be kicking myself if they do and we just let him go there instead of buying him, £4 million would be a great deal for him.

      Agreed, he'd be worth a gamble at 4 mil...but certainly not 10.

      This one is simple.
      Lennon, no ( he cant cross for sh*t)
      Berbatov, yes ,probally the most graceful footballer ive seen since van basten, his touch is freakishly good, he creates a shitload of goals too. Only downfall is he temprement sometimes he can really motivate his team othertimes he can be negative and slag his own teammates when he doesnt get the service he's needs.
      Can you picture Gerrard taking lip of him if his pass isnt perfect? (which thankfully rarely happens) I cant

      Personally I believe that RAMOS is a very astute manager and if LENNON was potentially world class there is no way he would even think of letting him go! Given RAFAS preferred rotation policy I can not see that going down well with BERBA and may create some unwanted dressing room tension. Lets look elsewhere I don't think JOE COLE is too happy constantly in and out of the Chelsea side, what a signing he would be!!!!! YNWA!

      I think these two players are tailor made for our current requirements, i really think we could by these two and then just concentrate on getting two world class fullbacks in the closed season...

      What do you think?

      Dont mean to nit pick but you just said Berba wont be happy with rotation and Joe Cole should come because he is sick of rotation while apparently we do it too!

      I would love Cole to come though, he wont be left out here and stuck on the bench - we could shift Ryan up front and become our 2nd top notch striker. Talk about hitting 2 birds with1 stone eh? :D

      Aboslutely agreed Crouchinho, I've been all for Joe Cole, and Babel up front, but unlike you, I'm a bit slow and didn't put 2 and 2 together. I could imagine J.Cole running around for Liverpool, receiving a pass from Stevie, in to Babel who sets it up for Torres! GOAL!!!

      I have a lot of Spurs mates.. and they have all heard the stories linking Lennon with Liverpool, and everyone ive spoken to has said they hope he goes.. That sums it up for me.. If his own fans dont rate him..! As for Berbatov.. not sure.. I would much rather have Robbie Keane.. He just reminds me of a Liverpool type player.. I think him and Torres would have some fun together....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      There is no doubt in my mind that berbatov is one of the most naturally gifted players in the country but he does seem to be very temperamental, I drool at the combination of berba and nando linking up though. I feel we will be priced out of the market and I hate to say it but I think he will end up at un**ed.
