RuffRob Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Sheff Utd are making a £1.2M bid for Cardiffs Cameron Jerome. He is surpossed to be a sh1t hot youngster. Probabley one of the best young striker in the Championship (some say better than Nugent). or at least the best value for money wise (rather than your £6-7M Ashton and Johnson. If he is available for that sort of money, we should definately have a crack at bringing him to Goodison. http://home.skysports.com/topscorers.asp?cpid=10 http://home.skysports.com/player.asp?plid=...clid=97&cpid=10 http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/....html?gusrc=rss He is a raw 19 year old talent with both power and PACE. With our budget - these are the types of players we should be bringing to the club (just look at the value of Andy Johnston, Dean Ashton and Darren Bent now, even WBA will not lose much on Earshaw should he move on) If we would have bought all of the above for say around £3m each at the right time - we would have at least doubled our money with them and scored a shit load of goals in there time with us. Look at Harewood at West Ham, Jason Roberts at Wigan all scoring plenty of goals in the Prem. Pacey Players who can find the net at Championship level more often than not can also score in the Prem. There are some exceptions to the rule, but given the cost of them and how there value increases you can afford the odd dud. Get rid of Marcus Bent and bring in both Jerome and Nugent and don't mess around with the odd £200,000 here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Seen him play a few times (on TV) as the other half is a cardiff fan and what I have seen he is very good. Def one for the future but got to take a gamble some times. Just look at D Bent at Charlton. Saw that someone signed the prestion player we was linked with Dickison Ethutu or something for £450k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 CARDIFF CITY hotshot Cameron Jerome is being dubbed the "best value for money" signing Premiership clubs can go after when the January transfer window opens. Sky TV pundit Chris Kamara, a regular watcher of Championship football, made the assessment as he ran the rule over the leading strikers outside the top flight likely to attract big-money offers next month. Kamara pinpointed six Championship hotshots as obvious targets for the big guns. He bracketed Bluebirds goal ace Jerome with Andy Johnson (Crystal Palace), Dean Ashton (Norwich), Theo Walcott (Southampton), David Nugent (Preston) and Kenny Miller (Wolves). But, believing Cardiff would put a £2m price tag on Jerome, Kamara insisted the Bluebirds ace was the player most Premiership clubs could get value from. He makes the assessment based upon Jerome's youth, pace, goal-getting ability and what Kamara dubs "the player's massive potential". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted January 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 He will be playing for Cardiff against Arsenal this Saturday - So it may give an idea of how well he may cope with Prem football - Trouble is if he has a good game or even gets on the score sheet, then you will probabley find his price go up by £1M. Hope, he is a player Moyes is considering. Get on offering in before the Arsenal game to show the player you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
