Pizy 19,280 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 We’re in a really tricky spot when it comes the the striker position. Havertz clearly isn’t the answer. As mentioned, Felix and Nkunku aren’t natural CF’s. We have Fofana and Broja who are youngsters and probably aren’t ready to lead the line. And then the idea of going out and spending mega money on a new one seems far fetched when we’ve already got a £100m dead weight on our books who may impossible to shift with Inter unsure about whether to bring him back. Think the best solution may be to move Havertz on and bring in an experienced, natural forward who’s in that late 20’s range and actually scores goals regularly. Someone who isn’t super expensive.

I think Osimhen would be the perfect answer. Havertz (although i really think he is a generational talents) and Gallagher would cover his fee and Broja would sweeten the deal. I am wary of signing Serie As top scorer as I would much rather we already had a Balogun who is outscoring Messi, Mbappe, Neymar in Ligue 1. Perhaps if we had the foresight to loan Broja, maybe we would have. Edited February 7, 2023 by Hashishi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps if we had the foresight to loan Broja, maybe we would have. Negotiating and signing Enzo was extraordinarily difficult as we just saw. Negotiating with ADL at Napoli for their superstar striker who is about to win them their first title in ages and maybe even the CL will be virtually impossible. Even just getting him to take anyone’s call will be hard enough, but then it’ll probably take Mbappe money to sign him. Don’t think we (or anyone else) will have a chance at Osimhen this summer.

And btw, having just watched a video of all his goals so far this season I’m not really that impressed tbh. He’s in red hot form and he’s certainly someone who would work well in the PL, but he doesn’t look anywhere near a £100m+ striker to me. His highlights don’t look anymore impressive than Lukaku’s did for Inter the season before we bought him back. He doesn’t explode off your screen and make you say “oh, wow” like Haaland or some of the world class strikers of recent years do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,399 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Rather we work with Fofana + Broja. Just never works out with us. Big money striker signings. Blue Armour, lluubbeenn, dimmas and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is getting banned for sure. I don't see how he gets out of it, others have been banned for less. Regardless, we can't sign someone with a question mark over their head.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) Kolo Muani is making massive strides in Bundesliga. Insane pace, nice finishing, just scored his 14th goal in German football by completing a Werner-esque run with a Henry-eque finish. Even more impressive he is on 12 bundesliga assists already. Probably one if not the of the best all-round CFs in Bundesliga right now. Would take him over someone like Thuram bc of his superior agility, explosiveness and overall better footwork Edited February 7, 2023 by Magic Lamps OhForAGreavsie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lluubbeenn 188 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Before thinking about incomings we have to shift a LOT of players. If you believe that a team is as good as its weakest link we are terrible. 😕 In my opinion all of these have to be moved on(if possible): - All of the players on loan except Colwill - first team and Maatsen - prem loan with Burnley - Mendy and optional - Kepa and Bettinelli - KK, Azpi and Hall loan - Loftus Cheek, Kante, Felix and optional - Zakaria and Gallagher and Santos-loan - Ziyech, Pulisic, Auba and optional Fofana/Broja - loan These account to 15 - 22 sales and loans only for the senior players. We can not continue stockpiling players before we do at least half of the outgoings. As for buys we already have secured Nkunku and probably should make Zakaria permanent(financial reasons). A partner for Enzo is a must. Other than that I think we can wait for the squad to gel a bit before making further decisions. We have a huge squad and a decent amount of quality. We should all hope and support Potter to get the magic wand going. 😄 Mattill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
