I'd take him. Too old you say, short term solution and we need a longterm outlook. And I accept that but none of our current strikers have played that many games in the Premiership yet. Since Owens departure all the responsibility for goals has fallen to them and they seem to be feeling that weight.

Alan Shearer has masses of experience and plenty of goals left in him. He'd be a steadying influence to the younger strikers and help bring them through. He would be affordable.

Unfortunately for us, Bobby Robsons departure makes it likely that Shearer will be staying at St James's until the end of his career.

I reckon Shearer probabaly gave Shepherd an ultimatum that cost Bobby his job. Pity coz, afte watching Warnock whip in a few crosses yesterday I reckon Shearer is exactly what we need to get on the end of them.

Also, Shearers presence would take alot of responsibilities off Gerrards shoulders as we'd then have another natural leader.

Finally, Cisse and Baros think they are the real deal. They are not. Shearer would be very quickly bring them back to earth with a bang and hopefully help them to focus on the job of scoring the goals that'll bring the title back to anfield. We all thought Gary Mac was too old but he ended up being Houlliers most inspred signing.

milan baros was shocking yesterday. forget the guys exploits in the summer in a team and a system which suited him. he's never done that for us. to me baros is an extremely raw talent who still has A LONG WAY to go if he wants to become a top class striker. his first touch is not good enough and he still has a tendency to run with his head down when players are in good positions.

£4M is a lot of money for a player who wont be around for much more than a year. Plus he's being tipped to get some kind of coaching role at Newcastle so i can't see it happening.
