A bit of a Long shot...

We've submitted and seen rejected a £8million bid for Long this morning a deal in which I believe shows fantastic attacking intent not only in the transfer market but in the challenge for promotion. Long is fast, clever and proven goalscorer at Championship level and would fit in well to the side alongside either Cole or Piquionne in the classic 4-4-2 (similar to Crouch/Defoe at Spurs). £8million seems a bit steep but if that's the price of promotion then it is well and truly worth it. Having seen Long in action against Stevenage in the FA Cup I've became a fan ever since and in a previous post listed him as a recommended signing this summer. However as we aren't the only club interested in Long with West Brom supposedly willing to put in a matching bid for him it'll be interesting to see where he ends up.

Upton Park bound?
