We're only left with Crouch!

How about letting an extremely experienced manager do his stuff maybe?

If we have 4-5m to spend on hooper & we don't get him do you think Harry will say to TF ok no worries we'll get an unknown from Holland? No he will 100% reinvest that money in the next target on the list.

To much panicking on here. Rela######x

Thankyou Ric man....

That's his problem, He is not ready to take even little risk like young successful managers. He only wants players who previously played in the PL.

If you were posting "SIGN MICHU" at the time then kudos to you. But if not then I am sure you know that for every Michu there are about 100 gambles who dont deliver and dont get headlines. See gambles dont always pay off. So you need to look at your position and adjust the level of risk appropriately.

A team that could not score least year needs some some safer bets than if they had done better. The current squad scored about 20 goals last year, it needs to score about 70 goals next year just to get a play off place. True rolling the dice might give a chance of success, but why do that when Redknapp has built a promotion team before, that is why TF appointed him manager because he has that experience which includes picking players.

I've always objected on signing Peter Crouch due to his age. With Hooper's bid apparentely rejected and seeing that even Charlie Austin will not join us as well, I think Crouch is the only striker who possibly will accept coming unless we risk bringing a young striker from Holland recommended by Steve McClaren ; the type of strikers like Michu who was unknown and proved himself later. If I was Harry Redknap, I would ask Steve McClaren to bring someone from Holland either himself or through his Dutch connections.
