Just been scanning through this thread and there seems to be very little if any actual ITK. Shouldn't we just start a "I'd like so and so to come to the club this TW" thread instead?

Hernandez is nothing like Tevez. I'd take Vucinic over Hernandez all day long aswell.

Hernandez, 25 year old fox in the box with lots of experience in a high tempo league.

All comp stats:

2010-2011, 20 in 45
2011-2012, 12 in 36
2012-2013, 18 in 36
2013-2014, 7 in 23

Vucinic, 30 year old left sided forward with the occasional bit of skill, whilst playing in the yawn fest of Serie A.

All comp stats:

2011-2012, 10 in 35
2012-2013, 14 in 43
2013-2014, 2 in 11

Hernandez:

1) 5 years younger than Vucinic and could be sold for a profit
2) Premiership experience/proved he can hack it in one of the most demanding leagues in the world
3) Energetic
4) A very good goals to games ratio

Vucinic:

1) Erm, he's 2 inches bigger than Hernandez but can hold the ball up
2) He's old
3) His goal scoring ratio is awful for a so called striker
4) He's coming towards the end of his career and has never played in a high intensity league before.
5) He will cost around £8-10m with no sell on value

And you still rate Vucinic as the better player lol

Didnt say Vucinic would be a long term option, he is better at leading the line and just has more all round ability. Completely different types of players, I dare say Hernandez stats would look good against Giroud's, but would Arsenal do a swap? No...exactly.

That's nice, just what we need ... another Emile Heskey, can hold the ball up but can't do the one thing he's supposed to do, SCORE GOALS!

Edit:

D'oh? Oh I guess 1 goal in 4 is acceptable to you? With that sort of finishing we'll be lucky to get 45 in the league this season.

You got a D'oh for comparing Vucinic to Emile Heskey, clearly you've never seen the guy play. (I dont normally dish out Neg ratings, but as you did, I obliged)

This transfer window is slower than a one legged race between Michael Dawson and William Gallas.


William Gallas would pull up with a blown hamstring after 50m, and Michael Dawson would probably run the wrong way.

Reality check. We aren't likely to buy a striker in the next 3 and a bit days.

"We" want a star striker who can hold the ball up, link play and score for fun. But we want them to be happy to be 3rd choice. And come to a club not in the CL this season and not guaranteed it next season. And we want them on the cheap. And we want Levy to tie up the deal quickly.

Never going to happen.

Agree, that's not going to happen.

Why can't we use the loan system though to get cover for Ade?
