So much disrespect on NJ as if top strikers always bang in their first season in PL

Don't understand it myself. I've been humbled so many times by players that looked like they had something but weren't quite delivering, that I wrote off, that then turned out to be world class. Even Suarez had a frustrating start at Liverpool, being wasteful in front of goal, and people had basically written him off when he established himself as one of the most dangerous players in the world.

He’s a very nice player who I’m happy to have. He’s just not (yet) a TOP player.

That or playing as a second striker alongside a classic #9. If we had prime Giroud still at the club I think Nico would be brilliant playing with him.

We're vulnerable enough with one CF, so I very much doubt this team could get away with two CF's.

My opinion of him isn't just based on his output or lack of it when needed. I've previously stated that his attitude is an issue (10 yellow cards for a CF).

At this point, I'd keep Lukaku over another young striker.

better teams want him

he is stalling waiting for offers

[Pizy 19,252]

Wonder if Olise is stalling and waiting for City in particular. City have been super quiet so far so wouldn’t be surprised if they’re just secretly waiting until they see what sort of terms Palace will accept before jumping in late. Don’t think we’d have much chance if they tell him they want him.

Thankfully, unlike transfer sagas we’ve been through before for high profile players, I’m not at all invested in the Olise ordeal. If we get him, great. If we don’t I won’t be that bothered so long as we use the money we would’ve used on him on another attacker of a similar quality.

His season was very promising for his age. Literally watched highlights yesterday of our goals and didn't realise how many times he turned a player or had a significant carry before passing it off to someone who then assisted. 

He really doesn't get the shine for all the good stuff he did. Could he finish better? Yes. Needs to be more decisive. But he keeps putting himself in good positions. Its a numbers game. I'm far more happy with a striker that keeps creating chances for himself and finishes 50% than the one that makes 1 a game and finishes 90%.

Olise is ideal for us. 

Works hard defensively, great set piece taker, decent at long shots and has some great vision to break down lower blocks. 

I'd be bummed if we missed him.

Depends on who we miss out on him to. If he chooses City it’s whatever. That’s the hole we’ve put ourselves in in recent years where we’ve allowed City to surpass us in the eyes of players moving clubs.

If he chooses a United team that finished 8th and are a total mess on and off the pitch then even I as someone who isn’t desperate for Olise would be really annoyed.

Only natural to wait and see your options. There was a report that said CIty are happy to go into next season with the same squad if there are no outgoings. If that's true, we are in with a good chance.

Chelsea are interested in signing RB Leipzig's 24-year-old Belgium striker Lois Openda. (Teamtalk)

[ulvhedin 526]

I wonder how will Real manage to give Mbappe, Vini, Rodrygo, Endrick, Arda, Brahim, Bellingham and Joselu game time. Propably sell Brahim and move Bellingham back to midfield position? Shame that Rodrygo loves Madrid so much (and would cost a lot of money + would like to eaern a lot of money) - he would be great option on the left.

[milka 3,407]

The rumors about the players they want don't sound like a club that has ambitions farming will continue .

[Strike 7,761]

Jhon Duran, Omorodion, Solanke, Guirassy

The striker market is looking weak

[milka 3,407]

Osimhen is old  does not fit into Marescaball let's go to Duran , Solanke or another mid club  . What a jokers .

[Strike 7,761]

A buyback clause in Marc Guehi's deal would have been so useful right about now. He's looking like a good defender

[Special Juan 28,730]

Orodrome and Duran? seriously what the actual fuck? Is this what it has become? I know the market isn't thriving with strikers so why the fuck don't we just play Nkunku or Jackson rather than buying these project fucking players

[Mário César 1,475]

I rather stay with lakaka one year, tbh
