		<description>I agree with Hinsdale hammer!! Why would you want to go for michael owen people!!? We are having problems with our strike force due to injuries and u want to add another injury prone player?? His wages will b massiv and he wont earn them! He is a class act but cant buy fitness at the moment a bit like deano!

I think BENT would b a decent signing realisitc aswell n will b cheaper than in the summer!</description>

		<description>How about someone pacy and creative like Lua Lua, formerly of Pompey now of Olympiakos. He went there for about 2.5 M pounds so it wouldn&#039;t break the bank to get him. If Ashton were to regain form you&#039;d have a great strong striker and a great creative ball handling striker. He paired well with Yakubu at Pompey. Also, as some above have suggested, need an attacking midfielder  - someone like Yossi - why can&#039;t we get players like that? :D</description>

		<description>Mr Gudjonson please,but knowing Curbs he&#039;ll want to lash out 10 million on Bent from the Spurts,who is not worth it in my oppinion.
Perhaps we can get a bargain basement buy from a small club and make whoever it is a star overnight?
All these are possible as it&#039;s West Ham,and that&#039;s the way it always is.
We&#039;ll end up paying through the nose for some &quot;donkey&quot;.
Anyone willing to bet against it?</description>

		<description>WE do not need or want Michael Owen.  Another injury prone player and living on reputation.
I like the Brazilian Fred from Lyon.  The bloke Spurs were looking to sign. Only 24.</description>

		<description>Do we want a striker? Well,  another way of putting it is. Do we want champions league football? What we have at present will fall short of that lofty goal. The board has expressed that they wish to see us competing in champions league games, they will have to invest in quality strikers. I hear people bang on about how we have spent loads last January and in th summer, but we also sold loads and havnt spent anywhere near as much as the Spuds or our other rivals so we really need to invest heavily again. Time the new board show us what there ambitions really are!</description>

		<description>It&#039;s not stikers we need, but as stated earlier, more service from the midfield.  We need to get away from the old days of buying an ageing, fading star who can pop a few in before moving away.  I&#039;ve been fortunate to ref a couple of academy games this season and we&#039;ve got some promising talent of our own, if only we can afford to keep them.</description>
