owen could be off and were not gonna be swappin him for cash + morientes/eto'o. this means that the most likely scenario is a money deal. if this happens, would we be able to get thru the season with baros, cisse and pongolle...

[stmichael]

no chance. we need four quality strikers to compete. say baros gets another serious injury early on. is pongolle ready to play as first choice for the majority of the season?

[A.B.]

We need Owen because we need four strikers.

[The_Rock]

Need 4 strikers. But have to remember that kewell can double up as striker too.

[A.B.]

Kewell isn't good as a striker, he had a horrible season in his regular position last year I don't think he would do us any good as a striker.

well someones posted a thread making the point that diouf's been given a squad number meaning that rafa may have plans for him yet

[A.B.]

The only reason that Diouf has a squad number is because he hasn't left yet, didn't Rafa say that Diouf wasn't in his plans.

[stapo1000]

well he wasn't gonna be given a squad no. and there are teams trying to sign him. i think he was given one because of the possibility of owens departure which could lead to us needing to keep diouf. i think diouf will see out his contract and then be off cos its either that or take a wage cut.
