But Pippo and Bobo have always been pretty fruity, together

Aparentely.

Good friends i suppose. Italy is more open about things than the UK and less 'withdrawn', so its probably safe to put it down to that.

Back on topic , Vieri linked with the toon!

Washed out, past his best, overpaid, lazy and on his way down.
Ideal NUFC signing. :rolleyes:

LOL.
Gotta love it.
Although, theres a v.small chance that he might do well in the EPL. He's not a typical European striker, and is more of an 'English' striker. He could do quite well in the EPL.

When Chelsea offered £30M for his services a couple of years ago or so, Inter should have taken it!

i would like to see wenger take a risk on vieri - see if they can change their style a bit to provide crosses - they could score so much easier that way and we know they have the most fluid game in the epl, its just they are too reliant on passing it through the middle

If there to go for a target man, i would want a better one than him

Gilly · 8 Jan 2006 at 12:46

Wenger has always said he wouldn't sign a target man.

serlex · 8 Jan 2006 at 12:48

nihat to newcastle for £2m, but moscow offered £11m, hmm hard choice there

He said he'd never play 4-5-1, but he did.

He's been interested in Ashton before so that would be a more likely move. I'd rather he went for a midfielder first and also a defender seeing as we have about 4 fit defenders now with 3 of them being CB.

Its also reported the Toon are in for Real Sociedad striker Nihat Kahveci.

He is a striker a bit like owen , quick and is used to playing with a target man @ sociedad a player thats done fairly good in spain but how would he fair playing under that great tactican souness

.

I would be surprised if souness gets any money , because someone else might need it

No chance Moscow offered that much, he's out of contract in June, he could sign on a pre-contract if he wanted.

BoomAM · 8 Jan 2006 at 15:56

You'd be suprised. Theres a lot of money in Russian football.

Moscow spent £20M to get Costinha and Maniche to Russia, so it wouldn't surprise me at all

GBB · 8 Jan 2006 at 16:52

Anyway, every story I've seen before today has mentioned £1-2m offered by Spartak, where did the figure of £11m come from?

Even if Sociedad had Nihat tied to a long term contract he probably wouldn't be worth much more than £11m, there's no way they would get that for him when any club could sign a pre-contract with him now and get him for nowt in June.
