Looks like a hell of a player at last two clubs games to goals ratio in the league.

2008–2009 Colo-Colo 53 (49)

2009–Borussia Dortmund 75 (35)

However, hasn't hit the net in his 11 appearances this season and is out of favour.

how many players are we after....?

This has got to be unrealistic, fantastic player but has been hampered with injury all year.

Who knows if there's anything behind this rumour but certainly can't argue with the player's pedigree. Hughes does have form with rescuing fallen strikers like this (Santa Cruz, McCarthy) I suppose.

Loan you would imagine.

(Regarding injury I think he's been fit for a while now, just kicking his heels on the bench due to Lewandowski's awesome form.)

[Kimimar0]

Well he is being linked with most of the top clubs in Europe now so not sure we stand much of a chance.

[Rsonist]

Reports coming from Germany this morning suggesting Fulham are leading the chase now.... he'd be a damn sight better than Cisse.

how many players are we after....?

All of them i think..

Massive wages - very good player - surely he won't sign.

[stainrodisalegend]

not a new target, we were linked with him last week. be a great signing.

[Slydo]

barrios is quality .. cant see it happening tho ..

[Rsonist]

Nor could I but if Fulham are our only competition then I'd say we had a chance? Santa Cruz could get on the blower and tell him how great Sparky is...
