Ibrahimovic / Rooney ?

Available for 3 months or so during US close season. We can't score - they can.
Should we be interested ?

what i raised is a valid option, similar to what has been done by other clubs successfully in the past such as villa with robbie keane.
the bollax was your reaction

Can you not see that our style of play doesn’t suit either of the players you’ve mentioned ?

Didnt Everton sign that American dude a few years back, hadn't played in England before but did well, cant remember his name (Brian?), will have to ask me woman.

Keane, Lampard, Henry, they've all done it so not so daft a question. Jack Price anyone??

I do think that one of these days our lads are going to click and we'll wallop someone by 4 or 5, Jota and Costa just need to get the first under their belts and and they'll be away Im sure. Thats not to say that some additional firepower wouldn't go amiss but at the moment I dont see it as a burning issue and wouldnt be amazed if the club just wait until the right guy(s) is (are) available. Im sure if they get the chance to sign one their targets they'll take it, be it in January or next summer. But there's certainly no panic to do so at the moment.

the system in which two of our main forwards havent scored by mid-november ?
anyway,i think both are great players, more than good enough to cope with any system.

Wolfgang. Players come over to the USA to see out their careers and I can't think of any that have returned to Europe. They don't necessarily do it for money either as the MLS has a wage cap system, but both the above mentioned would, as designated players, get a little more them the $503,000 maximum wage salary allowed for squad players. The minimum salary, by the way is only $54,000, just over $1,000 a week.

Oldgoldilox, I think they guy you're referring to was Brian McBride, who played about 7 or 8 games. They also got Landon Donovan for a while.

Jack price earns $407,499.96

Giovinco earns just over 7 million a year.

The salary cap is a complicated system and like I stated above, designated players are not bound by salary caps.
