Agree as usual with ya on the Ruud topic jjf3. I’ve seen the links with Vieri, but I think that’s his camp pushing to a mid tier club with some known cash to spend. If a trial is free I’m all for it, remember Samba wasn’t starting at his side in Germany. (Though he was sitting behind two world beaters)Still, the point remains…kinda.

Unrelated, there’s a (seemingly stupid) rumor we’re interested in Vieri. I suspect this comes from Vieri’s agent rather than BRFC/BFS. Could we give him a trial session? Sure, wtf not? Its not like it costs us anything. But if he wasn’t playing for Atalanta last year, why would he make an EPL squad next year?

If the physical says he’s healthy, and he can live with whatever salary we can actually afford, I’m a strong yes on this one. Simply said, the man scores goals. May not always be beautiful doing so, but he always seems to end up where the ball is teed up to score. Plus, at Euro 2008 he showed he’s still got some serious skills left at his disposal. I think the transfer fee will be (relatively) minimal (he’s old for a striker, after all), but the salary issue might prevent it – unless, as BFS says, he wants regular playing time, which he will not get at RM.
