Alternative striker options

It's amazing the extent we will overrate our academy products even in the face of overwhelming evidence.

Exactly what a club needs as 3rd striker. Scores goals, gets dropped, puts up with the manager ignoring him for weeks on end, comes back, scores goals.

Should have been farmed away to one of the club's we own for game time. Girona would have been perfect. I still think he'll come good for Leicester if he gets a chance, we'll be left looking for the bollock we dropped

Id go down and pick him up. He hasn't got a fair go as they play vardy. Hed be a great third striker for us. Has a knack of getting goals

I don't think he has helped himself much. Okazaki rather than Vardy is his competition and I don't think he's done enough to displace the former.

I'm sure Bernardo was initially bought to play as 8, he's not a good winger, played as a wide playmaker in Monaco's 4222. I think you know it as well mate)

It's difficult to find anyone better than Griezmann for this system. I would take Mbappe, Dembele, Martial over him, but they're not gettable, sadly.

Martial might be

If you mean someone big for traditional 'British' crosses, it's stats-proven that such attacks have low probability of success. Low crosses is the way to go, and you don't need big lumps in the box for that.


Griezmann or Werner. One is already at his peak, another would be a 'project', like Gabriel Jesus. Who would you choose?

Werner! What he brings in Pace, can add to our future style a way Griezmann's experience can't.

Transfermarkt say's he is worth 54m quid currently. Not sure how accurate that is though, i suppose we find out when and if someone bids for him.

If TM thinks 54., Then you are looking at 80-90 million. :(
 
Neymar. Will leave PSG cost a fuck load and so helps us ruin football further. Assume only Real could get him. But why not play fantasy football.

"The Futbolgrad Network has recently learned that Manchester City are among the teams interested in signing the Austrian [Marcel Sabitzer]. Valued at €18 million by transfermarkt.de Manchester would have to offer far above his valuation for Rangnick, who is considered a tough negotiator to a point where he will ignore offers straight out, Marcel Sabitzer’s importance to Leipzig was most apparent when he missed several games with an injury.

Furthermore, under contract, until 2021 Leipzig are in contract negotiations with the midfielder and are willing to forego their self-imposed salary cap and sign Sabitzer to a deal that would see the Austrian earn far more than the €4.5 million that Leipzig have set as the maximum salary at the club. Leipzig’s Financial Fair Play restrictions mean that Manchester City could of course easily top any money offered by Leipzig. Furthermore, the attacking midfielder would fit perfectly into Pep Guardiola’s system. Recently linked with a transfer of Shakhtar Donetsk’s Fred, who has often been compared to Naby Keïta, Sabitzer could become the thread that holds together the attacking midfield and midfield pivots in the likes of Ilkay Gündogan as well as Fernandinho—plus Fred should a transfer ever be completed."

Sabitzer plays mostly as RW.
RB Leipzig's manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is Pep's friend and can surely provide him with a needed info on this player.

Was just watching him. Like a poor man's Debryune. A quick mind and delivery.
