LucasRiver 31 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Falcao or Falcao... mmm and maybe Higuain (all ex-river plate players hahaha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkyflashman 187 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Just a thought but I've seen his name crop up in a couple of places...Alexandre Pato anyone?? He's young, huge upside, AC will have to sell now that Silvio's in the slammer, would be coming to a team chock-full of brazilians...He has a bit of an injury history but maybe worth thinking about?

One of my favourite fowards but he is more injury prone than Robben and Ribery put together. And his injuries are becoming more common in the last two seasons.I know it is the Bleacher Report but this is quite an interesting article on Pato's injuries.http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1384106-ac-milan-will-injury-prone-rossoneri-forward-alexandre-pato-ever-come-good/page/3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray 9,441 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 we didnt even twitch for 29 year old 20m RVP ...maybe buying lukaku was a mistake...we could have bought a quality striker ..hope fully we will learn lessons from buys of Torres and lukakuI really think that is a VERY harsh judgemebt on Lukaku, who did not only get almost no playing time and therefor lost a lot of confidence he did display at Anderlecht (and also the national team), but foremost, the guy is fucking 19 !!! Get a reality check, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,147 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Lukaku was bought in for £18m because of his potential. We should not even judge Lukaku this season on his fee because that is not his current value but what is potential represents is around there, possibly more. He has years to prove himself and so far has been impressive in his loan spell at WBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Lukaku was bought for an initial £12m, some sources even say it was €12m. The 18 is the final fee after some clauses are met. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcyWard 13 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Falcao or any top class striker won't be for sale in January.Somebody like Darren Bent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazyB 58 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 What about Stevan Jovetic? Would fit into our style, and has an eye for goal. I know he isn't a classic striker, but I think he would work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 27 this year.One option we should look at is Lewandowski. Good in the air, links up play well and has a good finishing though he can still improve in that department. Has 2 years left in his Dortmund contract and is only 24 too.Im not that sure about Lewan. He seems like unfinished diamond, but we would need someone with imediate impact. That means a world class striker for lot of money unfortunely. With Danny and Lukaku we have plenty for future. And Lewan is not coming cheap, 25mio at least. I know, sometimes a less good striker like Lewan, Remy, Damiao, Bony, Pato,...would do even better than Top class one, but Drogba was 26 when he arrived and he was mentaly strong person to keep trying here, I fear if Lewan or Remy wouldnt start well, it would be too much pressure on them and another Torres case. Time to start looking for MENTALY strong striker aswell. Someone who does the job always. Ibra was fucking great choice, too bad he is in Psg now. Falcao seems world beater and also what I like most, player who scores every time in big games. He scored in europa league finals twice, against Barca, Real,...something what Drogba was doing. But if he somehow gets in bad form, who knows how it will turn. Also if his stats for goals from crosses are right, we should think twice, as our team doesnt have enough good crossers. On other side Cavani is playing for team that plays similar to us, attacking football with passing attacks, not so many crosses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIBBO3000 20 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I really like dzeko I think we need a strong and tall centre fwd. who is experienced in the premier league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,494 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 i expect we sign a striker in january. the title charge won't last with only torres and sturridge as our forwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 One is for sure, we can't depend on Torres and I'd be more than satisfied if we sold him or swapped him in January, even for the sake of getting the media off our backs with that "Torres flop" crap. We need a quality striker who can deliver right now and then. He would have to be world-class BUT someone who is relatively young and hasn't achieved much trophy-wise. Like Edison Cavani, Radamel Falcao, Robert Lewandowski, so they still have the ambition and flame in their eyes. I'm really happy Sturridge gets a chance now with Torres banned (for 1 match if I'm right, as it was 2x yellow red card, correct me please if I'm wrong! ) Lukaku will be brilliant for us, just scored one yesterday against Newcastle at their home stadium.
