Apparently Zoltan Gera is unhappy at Fulham; if so, we should seize the opportunity and buy him! Gera offers exactly what we are looking for, an attacking midfielder with an eye for goal.
Gera has netted 76 club goals so far and a further 18 at full international level. He isn't Frank Lampard, but he is as close as we are going to get given what we can afford. At 31, he is not young, but then Parker is no spring chicken either!
In Grant's shoes, I would offload Parker and bring in Gera, who scores more and is a much more creative midfielder than Mr Scurry Scurry Scotty Parker. Team Gera up with Noble and Der Hammer in centre mid, with Barrera and Piquionne as the wide men, and I think we would have an effective and potentially high scoring midfield unit.
How much would he cost? Can't be more than we sold Diamanti for surely?

Gera?
Write an article pushing for Steven Taylor's signature ffs! Hes been put on the transfer list.
Defense Defense Defense
Defence, defence, defence actually. The word comes from when you erected a fence and hid behind it! Defense is a dreadful American spelling.
Anyway, Taylor is out injured for three months. That's three months. Yes, for the third time, three months!
Yeh he'd be a good short term fix. We sold Diamanti for minus £4m HF! I don't think Fulham would pay us £4m to take Gera!
And no Noble please! Can't wait until Collison is back!
I agree Gera is class
That's right HF you tell 'em it's a bloody awful Americanism that's creeping in at an alarming rate! probably doesn't know his ScHEDule from his schedule either.
great comment on KUMB
We should never sign two-footed players.
They severely restrict the manager's options when trying to play them out of position
We should sign that dutch fellow suggested by imscouting Ricky Van Wolfswinkel only 21 looks good and has a great name to take the piss out of if he turns out to be shit
mmm, couldnt see Gera wanting to join to be honest! He scored a brace in their last pre season against Werder and again last night. Not exactly playing like he's unhappy is he! Where did you get that from? The Sun or the News of the World?
Deane you're scouting for Dutch boys?!
