Belotti is a technically inferior player to Piatek tho..You can see that from the quality of goals alone. Also belotti would have been 80m, Piatek went for 31. At that price it always would have been better business than 18m on higs for wages and loan fees.

Doesn't change the fact that this is the first season Piatek and Jovic have scored regularly. Are they genuinely the real deal or just a one season wonder like Belotti? If they can keep it up next season and beyond, then fair enough. But if they don't...last thing we need is another striker that we need to get rid of (already have like 3 on the list!).

It's a complicated question indeed. Our strikers(Morata, Higuaín and Olliie Magnefique) have scored hundreds of goals in multiple top leagues, still we are not satisfied with our options.

Football is short lived tho. Those goals count nothing, as Giroud and Higs are way past their peak and Morata has never really been a regular scorer as a lone striker. Goals is also not everything I guess. Our strikers just suck with their average hold-up play, shit attitude (bar Giroud) and missing all those easy chances. Also they become useless once the opposition has good defenders which is the mark of average strikers. There tons of very prolific strikers in football history who never were really world class because they would jus tnot cut it in the big games.

I don't see many options available to him in England and Italy. 

United may be in the market if they ship out Lukaku but ironically that is looking like Inter if they do. None of the other top English teams need him.

Juventus don't need him, Milan have Piatek and I don't see Napoli or Roma prepared to pay that sort of money for him.

If he'd rather play in England I think his best chance would be to stay at Frankfurt one more year and continue developing (and hopefully show this season wasn't a flash in the pan) and then we may well be in for him next summer when we'll be likely desperate to bring a striker in after our ban.

Regardless of rumours, Id be pretty confident he will stay another year in frankurt if they got CL for next year.

But they failed spectaculary in recent weeks and wont play even in europa now.

Odds for him staying are much smaller now.

Erm, Frankfurt did qualify for the Europa League. 7th spot opened to that because the two cup finalists Bayern and Leipzig finished in the top 4.

Yep you are correct, my bad

The market for strikers is scarce, you have no choice you have to take a punt on a Jovic or Piatek. If you wait you will lose him out to another team, if he stays you will face increased competition for his service later on. 

Werner or Jovic would be excellent signings.

Jovic to Real Madrid confirmed...

Not fucking about Madrid, can't afford to if they want be back as the best.

Think they'll win the CL again next season with Hazard and Jovic.

Curious who they're selling, though.

[lucio 5,418]

surprised they would spend big on hazard after this, they already have a glut of wingers including some young ones too. But i guess Zidanes desire is more important than logic
