Newcastle is keen on seeing him on the Tyne, but I am not in agreement that they can ink him near ₤4M, I think you can pretty much split that and the reported ₤8M and then NUFC would be in the neighborhood of ₤6M to acquire his services... The question reamins then is Gudjohnsen really worth ₤6M? He's caught in a logjam with Barca but his father/agent may be driving the price; atleast that's what I am reading between the lines...

Gudjohnsen can take three opponents out of the game with a one touch pass (check out some of his videos / Bridge goal vs Arsenal - Champs league). Do we have anyone with this kind of vision and touch? No. Time and time again last season we couldn't break down teams who sat back and defended with 10 behind the ball (all the early intertoto matches for eg) and that is also why we failed to score in so many home games last year. Viduka will help here but we NEED a player of this type and I'd be more than happy to sacrifice someone like Shola or Emre to accomodate him. I’m sorry but we severely lack a classy, creative player.

I think we need another forward because Viduka and Owen have a bad history of injuries and Owen and Martins may not be here for the entire season. Surely he would cost more than 4 mil.

Problem is that 2 of our strikers can leave anytime they want to as long as their clauses are met. So say Arsenal get an injury to Van Persie in the last week of august and they decide to meet the clause of Martins. Then we are left with 3 strikers and no time to reinforce, throw in the fact that Liverpool, Chelsea or Manure could do the same thin with Owen and we could be left cripled.
