New striker needed - but who?

[Sheva. 5,373]

Fair enough, but I think we can do better than Demba Ba, Cisse, Bony and Llorente. Just a personal opinion!

Of course we can, but in January we have to get someone in and any of these 4 are an upgrade over Torres and Sturridge.

[Styles 9,790]

New strikerS! Plural.

I have seen that we're linked with Rodrigo of Benfica and he would be a great development striker for us. He has great speed and is a good finisher. His speed would push teams back and open up space for the midfielders/wingers.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Rodri is great talent, but not ready for big stage yet. Year or two should stay in Benfica.

[EdenHazard 163]

Not a striker, i think we may need two. But that all depends on what happens with Torres, Sturridge and Lukaku.

Think Torres will stay atleast until the Summer, Sturridge in my books can leave (but if he goes, make sure we replace him) and Lukaku think he'll stay out on loan till the Summer.

Someone like Huntelaar would be good as he's cheap, and scores and wouldn't need time to develop so the goals should come straight away. He's available for £6million i do believe and that would be a steal. I'd take him till the summer, then possibly attempt to sign someone such as Cavani/Falcao.

we won't buy any striker if Torres stays until this summer. We saw that Torres is the only option that we will play. May be Chelsea will recall Lukaku to let him rot on the bench, but i can't see us splashing big money on a striker if Torres stays.

This is sad, but we saw that with Sturridge, they don't want him to start any game this would be the same for other (non wolrd class) strikers

[Sovieticus 743]

Demba Ba maybe

[LukakutoStamford 779]

Need two strikers, but Benetke of Villa should be one of them. He's got 10 goals and 5 assists in his last 19 games. Completely dominated Liverpool at Anfield today with 2 goals and a beautiful backheel assist. Dominated against ManU earlier this season with a goal and an assist

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

Yep Benteke's been a revelation. Still only 22, strong, good in the air, great right foot. his goals were quality and his assist was suh a great example of link up play, his pin-point cutback class. Should improve his scoring rates nonetheless, have heard he is rather wasteful in some games. But we need a player for the direct impact, Benteke is a great prospect but as for now I'd prefer Ba.

[Sheva. 5,373]

We've already got one young, raw and wasteful Belgian striker, don't need another.

[Leif 6,006]

Ronaldinho.

(I'm watching videos of him. They're making me hard. I miss watching him play so much. It's sad that he'll probably retire soon! He's still rather decent. Would be great to see him join a team like Swansea City tbh.)

So good <3

On topic - I'd like us to get Llorente.

[Leif 6,006]

Oh yeah.

Llorente will be available for free next summer. LETS GET HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He seems humble. I'm sure he'd accept not being 'the star' in our team if he was to ever get benched.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Tbh benteke does look a lot better then lukaku although lukaku is younger then him.

[JackredandWhite 171]

Demba Ba maybe

Sky are reporting he's signed?

Lets hope so - they'll be buggered without his goals. Cisse is just a flash in the pan.

At least we are above them, and to use footballer speak - "and long may it continue"

All the best for the New Year. Can we have Lamps?
