Either way, the most interesting thing to take out of this is the fact that most reports indicate he wouldn't sign until he received assurances of Rafa's future.

Yeah. Interesting or depressing, depending how you look at it. Me, I'm depressed: it looks like Rafa will still be our manager next season.

Unless they can bring in new investment to the club, both the americans are too stingy to sack him.

We should have a go at bringing in Cole and Saha on freebies.

We should be all over Joe Cole like a rash. He's marvellous and exactly the type of player we need.

But we don't have to sack him now. Juve might even PAY us to let him go!

That would be the external factor, nothing much we can do from our end.
My only concern is our stingy owners, if they are not willing to commit more transfer fund to our manager (whoever that is), I'm not sure who would be interested in joining us. (Purslow mentioned if there's new investment, it will go on and reduce the club's debts?)

He's 29? I thought he was younger than that, one for the future like.
Lets hope he is better than Rafa's last few Bosmans.

There a couple of good bosman's out there we should we all over.
Cole, Chamakh, Saha.. no transfer money spent.. only wages (which would admittedly be sizeable) but then they'd be sizeable anyway, no matter who we signed.
We got those lot, that'd solve our forward and wing problem.. both first team and squad depth.

Saha is past it and injury prone. Wouldn't want him. I know nothing of Chamakh other than what I've read but he sounds like he's on an upward curve and given that our resources are limited, I guess we have to take these kind of chances when they come around.

Injury prone.. without doubt. Past his best? Sure. Past it? I'm not so sure. He's scored 11 goals in 21 apps in the Premierleague this year, but I suppose looking at his age (didn't realise he was 31!) I can see what you mean.. he's no spring chicken.

Rafa spent £20-22M on his last striker, and what a wasted opportunity that was.
Poor Benitez.

I thought it was £18 million?, value keeps going up...

Keane was £20 million.

19m according to the bbc. (+potential 1.3m add on).
A gamble that failed. But admittedly he was Prem-proven (i guess).
I'm more upset about the 8m wasted on Dossena (with Riise being let go for half that) and the 11.5m on Babel (where we've seen little value or return).

Preety sure the moment we began sniffing his contract issues would miraculously be resolved, tho.

What's that all about keni?
Having 2 injury prone strikers. Imagine the likely scenario of them both being injured.
I'd like a good striker that will be fit when his chance comes.

Saha is past it and injury prone.
[/quote]
Torres: 21 games, 12 goals.
Saha: 26 games, 13 goals
Saha's not bad this season considering he's past it.
[/quote]
He got 8 goals last season and 5 the season before that.
He's 31, on the decline, and spends large portions of the season on the sidelines. Plus he'd want a hefty wage packet. I think we should be concentrating on players whose stars are rising rather than falling.
