According to the press, we are after Anelka, Lampard, Kalou and Joe Cole.
Add Boswinga and we'll soon be able to select a Chelscum reject X1    |  | | |  |

What has Anelka done in the last two years to suggest he'd be any use to us - even ignoring the omnipresent problems with attitude. |  | | |

The point being that anyone who HAS done anything of note won't be interested in joining us at this stage.
Our choices are mercenaries or oddballs or championship players. A gamble on all fronts but at least the mercenaries and oddballs have the talent if they can be motivated and handled the right way. |  | | |

I'd take Le Sulk, the rest non!
Please Harry, no midfielders FFS! | | | |

December - 'I'll tell you what that Bosingwa is awful, I hope he doesnt play for us again. I mean why would we sign someone like him, he has won everything, why would he be bothered to bust a gut to help us in a relegation battle? He's only here for the money, etc'
January - Anelka?? Sign him up!!

If Anelka comes on a free transfer on a short term contract until the summer, i don't see the harm.
We need another body in upfront. | | | |

Haha, I'm not coming back on this thread or I'll start ranting. All season long we moan about mercenaries like Jose Bosingwa and Ji Sung Park earning big money while not caring about our club, joining when well past their best for a final pay day, affecting the team spirit and morale, not being half as useful to us as the Championship players we had already and now, because it's January and Sky Sports tells us we should be excited about January, we're suddenly all in favour of signing Nicolas Anelka.
Excuse me a moment, I'm going to knock through the wall between my kitchen and living room using only my head. | | | |

Except in this case we don't need hindsight. This was what happened during a confrontation between a fan and Anelka in China:
The fan, who made a 700-mile round trip from Shanghai to attend the match, shouted back at Anelka, “I took time off work and paid for flight tickets and a hotel to come to support you all, but you did what?”
A perplexed Anelka replied, “Why me? Why don’t you find a Chinese player?”
The fan shouted back, “Because you are the captain and you should be responsible for this [bowing to the fans] - if you don’t respect us, we don’t respect you.”
Anelka replied, “I don’t care.”

No point getting Anelka if Zamora is going to return in January. We need more of an Andy Johnson type forward (a fit version). Kevin Doyle was mentioned and dismissed by some but maybe a change of club will do him good and he has shown enough in the PL to get another chance. |  | | |

Would rather give DJ a go than see Anelka here.
Lampard i would definately take, even though it would take some getting used to.
Kalou i wouldnt take either alomh with Joe Cole. |  |

The 'Andy Johnson-type forward' is called DJ |  |

More concerned about whether we can ship some of the dead wood out...what with some of our reported wages [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Or we could save on his no doubt enormous wages and spend a bit on signing Charlie Austin to play alongside Cisse or a soon-to-be-fit Zamora, and then get us back up should the unspeakable happen and one or both of the above leave. |  | | |

good point, forgot about him but not sure if Redknapp would go that way if TF gives him scope to sign players. Likewise I wouldn't expect a Doyle or Austin type of purchase and therefore Anelka probably fits a Redknapp type signing.
Next 3 games will go a long way towards the type of player he would want. Get 7 points and I can see him looking at players to keep us going in the right direction for this season and next. Get 1 or 2 points and I would imagine we will be looking and deals until the end of the season i.e. Anelka. | | | |

I'm sorry, but where exactly have you been for the last 18 months? |
Watching players who weren't motivated or handled correctly.
Where've you been, Barcelona? | | | |

Very much agree with above comments doubting what the likes of Anelka and Kalou will immediately bring that DJ won't. time is of the essence and DJ is fit and firing. Moreover - he cares.
Even Remy - who I don't doubt is probably ten times as naturally talented as DJ - would take time we don't have bedding in to a new league in a new country. He's not in form for Marseille as it is. |  | | |

What are the other striking options we have?
Bring DJ, Hulse and Bothroyd back?
Spend £8m-10m on Austin?
Anelka will do the job short term with DJ. Wont cost anything other than wages. We dont have many options now. |  |
