Assuming a good medical, absolutely, because he's got unbelievable quality. You'd be mad to say otherwise.
Two good years is quite possible if he's kept himself in good condition.
Not going to happen however.

still scored a lot last season even in a lesser league , its how he is used and if he came to a club like ours he ain't going to do the running of a lone striker now so would need a hard running partner and we would need serious pace elsewhere in attack or we would be way too predicatable

This board beggars belief sometimes? How long have we been in the Prem now? And in all that time we've never had a prolific/consistent goal scorer. Arnie wants a massive wedge cos he's got 17(?) in 3 seasons and some on here are turning their noses up at a player who scored 1 in 2 for Arsenal and Utd ( as well as currently in Turkey) and 50 goals in a hundred games for Holland? Fuck me.

Who can blame him after recent events in turkey. He and many other Turkish talent will want to get their family out of there. Not re RvP, who would demand top dollar for his rapidly declining talent, but generally regarding players in Turkey, that is a good point. If it were me, I'd be out of there pronto, tonto, slapping in a transfer request as quickly as I could write one. Even Stoke would look appealing!!! Ideas - Simon Kjรฆr and Emmanuel Emenike at Fenerbahce or Bruma at Galatasary? Even Syrian refugees rejected Bentilee , joking part he is way past his best plus we would have the oldest squad in the history of the PL, we need some pace from somewhere we are as predictable as a one way traffic system, we need to concentrate on our defence to start with at the moment we surrender faster than an Italian infantry unit.

Palarse are interested....would you? It's the question you ask in a pub when a bird walks in who has been around the block a few times, so in answer, if we're desperate, yes

Whats the problem with his age??
Hes two years younger than Zlatan Ibrahomovic
Anyone would think we had an embarrassment of riches up front - its a no brainer IF financially right for both parties

This is all we need. An over-the-hill, 30+ center forward that takes up a valuable spot in the squad. Michael Owen revisited.๐

Michael Owen revisited.๐ One barely played for Tone with Shotton on the wing, the other would be playing with real quality on the flanks and wing backs pushing up. Don't worry so much. Won't happen in any event.

Erm...we have two threads on a non-topic. No. We don't need an over-the-hill, 30+, center forward that's going to take up a valuable squad spot and then get injured. We are supposed to be getting rid of dead wood, not stocking up.
