Transfer targets in January

Must say I only know Podolski from the several international tournaments he's gone ape shit at. 95 caps at the age of 26 is amazing. Doesn't seem like his club career's been very settled. Did he fail at Bayern, and why? He does seem ideal but you're always wary of a trap.

Yeah he's never really been that amazing at club level, although he has spent the majority of his career with Koln who are a mid table club at best, but he still has a decent scoring record there in general, not quite sure what happened at Bayern though. Henry was a flop at Juve but we all know what happened after, sometimes a player just needs to find the right environment that suits him to succeed.

I'd be really encouraged if we signed him given his ability to play from wide.

We'd have the best collection of left footers who can hammer the ball if Podolski signed (along with RVP and Vermaelen).

Fair. I don't really know enough...but certain details always make you wonder about players' comfort zones. Saying that, someone with his international record might warrant some leeway. I'd be encouraged as well. Someone of that style could do us good, anyway. The way we play now with more emphasis on Walcott and Gervais (and others in those positions), we really need them to be delivering more of a goal threat. Goals like Podolski scored against England and Australia...yes please.

Think he'd be a great signing for us in Jan. And hopefully at a good price too. Some strikers take a little bit longer to hit their peak - but he looks like he's getting there now. Think he'd do well in our current squad. Would take him over Huntelaar any day.

Any truth in this?

According to that article we're interested in quite a lot of them. :lol:

And on the Henry thing, no I wouldn't have thought as a No.2. Possibly a coach of some description though.

Haha - did the American commentator say 'Half number 2' instead of second half? 'Are you kidding me?' hahaha
Beautiful goal from Henry - fox in the box

We should try for Ericksen if we cant get Hazard or Goetze

Better than anyone we have atm
