Why would we buy Drogba, given that a target man alongside Suarez has been shown to be a failure? I can think of much younger targets that make more sense and have a greater chance of success.

Looking at some of the names being bandied around like Hazard or Gotze I cant help thinking people on here think we are a better Club than we actualy are. The way I am thinking is the likes of those two players are supposodly the games rising stars and would surely be looking at signing for the top Clubs who play in the Champions League year in year out. I just cant make any sense out of suggestions why they would want to sign for us ahead of the bigger boys, if they supported us as boys then maybe then it would strenghthen the chances a little bit but they dont.

I cannot see us spending loads on another striker when the ones we have got have not been able to play in the line up we wanted them in when we signed them. It should have been Carroll, Suarez and Gerrard but when have they all been available?

I would be looking at someone who can play up front who can hold the ball up and has a bit of pace and reads the game well. A cheaper option but one which gives us a different way of unlocking a defence.

I like the look of Steven Fletcher at Wolves. Still only 24 and in good form and with lots of experience. Wolves paid £6.5m for him. £10m would be enough to get him now. Perhaps send them Coates on loan till the end of the season. Not only good now but could be long term replacement for Kuyt.

I suppose if your asumptions are true in that the so called top playere will go elsewhere then none of us can be upset by the fact we may finish below fourth this year with our present players, showing that you can only buy players who want to play here,good or bad,thats a matter of opinion tho!.

Not relevant to us granted, but it'll put a smile on the miserable 'bitters' faces anyway.

Did well for them last half of last season. Good player.

I just think it's a catch 22 situation, players want to be at the best football Clubs who win the games major honours but at the same time you can only get those honours with the games best players in the first place, so I dont know what the answer is. I think it all comes down to us not building from a position of strenghth years ago then maybe we would not find ourselves in the situation we are in now.

Your exactly right there! it is a matter now of starting from scratch if you like, and where all in a wait and see what happens, we know we all want to win stuff but it'll be varying degrees of frustration until then.

There's been talk about Jermain Defoe maybe looking for a move away from Spurs in January.

What does everyone think about a possible move for him?

I'd certainly welcome a move for him as long as he came cheap enough. He'd certainly fit in and imo, score a lot of goals in our current team.

Not sure how willing Harry would be to sell him to a rival club though.

I think it would be smart. His goal scring record is good, and he's a finisher who I could see working well with Suarez, maxi, Kuyt or Bellamy at any given time. If he's cheap, go for it.

Just seen a bit via bbc site about Tom Huddlestone being linked to us. Please let this not be true. He is a fantastic passer with a good powerful shot but he is a slow cumbersome carthorse of a player who picks up bookings and injuries on a regular basis.
