speaking to a villa fan last week, I said Harewood, He said "couldnt hit a bulls arse with a banjo, But he will run all day for you" I thought fits TPs mould perfectly... pants player imo never rated him

Anything more than 2m for Harewood is a joke, 3 at the very maximum, ... if he does sign, then at least we'll have two strikers capable of ripping up the championship if we go down  . |

He has found it hard at Villa and has never really had a consistent run in the team. However, look at Fuller at southampton. He was warming their bench and never looked like a start. Look at him now.

Good alternative to mama imho, might score a few more too. However after the Villa Arsenal game finished i didnt get the impression that he was on his way out when he was celebrating in the center circle.
I really would like to see Ledley though, just hope he gets a game though and doesnt end up like Tonge & Soares

I really would like to see Ledley though, just hope he gets a game though and doesnt end up like Tonge & Soares If we sign Ledley, he will deffo play. He is TPs 1st choice, he is welsh and he is a very good player. However, it will then be a case of who plays in the centre of midfield. Pulis will pick Delap when fit. He makes a good contribution, his long throw is awesome and so he will play if Ledley comes in. I would then play Olifinajana or Whelan. Both can be creative and Delap could do the mopping up. With Lawrence on the right, we could have decent personnel in the wide areas. SGS |

And if we've paid 7m for ledley and 4m for harewood then we've been done. Not if Ledley gets 7 or 8 assists and a goal or two. And Harewood gets 7 or 8 goals. And we stay up.  |

What do you base the guy's reliability on?
Past transfer whispers?
Turning up to the pub on time?

Two quality signings, can't argue with either although I'm hoping those fees aren't all up front. They can go straight into the starting XI so the sooner they get here the better.

Would Harewood mean Mama relegated to the subs bench?

Post by mermaidsal on Dec 27, 2008 20:53:29 GMT
I reckon they'd end up alternating, or it could be Mama starting some games to break opposing defenders down and coming on after 60 for impact in others. And let's face it we're not going to have Ricci every game.

I agree, with Fuller, Sidibe, Kitson, Dindane, Harewood, ?Manucho, we will be spoilt for choice and be able to rotate.

Harewood on the bench yesterday - think he would be a good signing and suit our style. Ledley not convinced about but never knock a player until he plays.

Ide like them both at the club, but if these deals have gone through anything more than £7-£8 for both players is too much in my opinion, Ledley isn't proven at this level, and despite Harewood being a probable good addition who'd suite our approach, his goalscoring record isn't great.....

22 in 95 in the top flight Luke isn't too bad considering he is more than not a sub for Villa. Decent Prem strike record. When you consider the 5-6 million tags for the likes of Zamora I think he could be a bit of a bargain at 2 odd million if reports are true.

Most fees over about £2.5 mill don't seem to be all "up front" these days. I'd expect that, like Kitson's fee, up to half will be made up of contingency payments. So, on that basis, the fees appear to be affordable and there might be some left for a couple more buys or loans.

I think the premiership loans rule will be to our disadvantage this time.
Harewood is OK. better than we have? Probably, but not definitely.
Ledley? The jury's still out because he's unproven at this level.
I'd say £6m tops for BOTH.
