Alternative striker options

Lyon are on BT 2 right now if anyone wants to watch Fekir. Currently 1-0 up with him scoring, playing behind the ST this game.

Surprised we have not been linked with him..
 
Griezmann is a diehard rag fan isn't he? Doubt he'd come. He looks to be getting a bit stale too. Would prefer him over Dybala though in the current setup.

Fekir is brilliant absolutely brilliant, far more promising than Lacazette ever was in france. Can see him going to Liverpoool.
 
Which is the Fekir you're all on about? What position?

Edit: Would help if I was watching the right game I suppose, was watching the PSG vs Dijon game looking for him.

There aren't many prolific strikers out there but there are players who fit the profile of a striker that would work in our system.

Pep is all about quick ball into our front three with one touch passes to De Bruyne or Silva to then play the through ball into space. Jesus does it so well and although he wasn't scoring as regularly, the team benefits from his quick movement and passing and workrate. He gets into good areas.

Much like how Benzema has functioned so well for Real, his scoring record for such a good team is not amazing but he allows their attacking players more chances by holding the ball up and creating chances for them.

Aguero likes to keep the ball and run with it but Pep is only happy with him if he then scores or feeds someone in space. He much prefers a quick pass and move systen from his striker. Icardi is a player I think would be able to implement this style. He is similar to Aguero but he was at La Masia as a youth player I believe and could play the one touch football if needed.

Kane is the other option but Real will be all over him and I don't know if Pep will be able to get him in. He would be excellent in our system though without a doubt.
 
I would love to see rashford coming to us in the summer.
Sane rashford jesus and sterling up front is just too good to be true in my opinion!

They have some habit of wrecking promising attacking players. Di Maria and Falcao were nightmares. There's still a decent player in Depay now, back then he had a chance at super stardom...I have no clue what they did to the poor sod.

Mkhitaryan looks like he's doped with sleeping pills half the time, another player simply ruined by the team he's in. Kagawa was the same.

Mata went from being Chelsea's best player for two seasons to pottering around at United showing glimpses of real class in the midst of a whole lot of mediocrity.

They'd like to make you believe Pogba was a bargain but he has largely been anonymous, but putting in a good performance against Stoke and making 5 yard passes for assists seems to be credible for a world record transfer fee it seems. Of course United fans would have seen about 5 games from Pogba before he joined, but he's a shadow of the player at Juve. Granted going from Pirlo and Vidal to rat face Herrera and the Tree is a big change.

Lukaku is a coin flip whether he proves worthwhile or not. At times he looks unreal but then he does sweet nothing for a few games in a row.

Martial looks decent every now and again but seems to have peaked already. Van Persie seems the real exception, he was lethal. Then again he was lethal for Arsenal before he moved too. Zlatan put in a handy shift as well to be fair.

There is something seriously wrong with them. Sanchez has the ability to do it all by himself but I wouldn't be surprised if he wants out by this time next year.

Mourinho is throwing his usual fit...get me the players or i am off. Fail next year and he is gone anyway leaving disillusioned players behind in the process

Definately, total contrast to his whole attitude and demeanour. Says it all
 
can't stop thinking on who Pep and txiki will decide on, it's killing me hopefully it's someone truly top class,and not a Evans or bony type signing.

To be fair - I'm not really sure you can blame Falcao on them purely as he'd just come back from eight months out with a knee injury.

I agree about Pogba and Lukaku, though I do think they'll become top players over time.

.....which puts us back at square one, one injury away from a “mini crisis!”

Worst case, Aguero gets injured in the next month then Sterling plays up top. Jesus is back relatively soon so making an impulse buy in January doesn't make too much sense
