New striker?

[Cheeky Txiki]

I just wonder what's the point in signing a striker if he isn't WAY above what Jesus brings and better than Aguero at his peak.

After flapping around a few games with Sterling, Pep finally realised Torres was better.

Torres has impressed me in that position and was pretty unlucky in that Sheffield game. In other games he's looked decent.

Only Haaland, Martinez and Mbappe look to be that level. Unfortunately our club never goes for a that high level signing.

Very perplexing situation.

Any one much about the young Benfica (Uruguayan) striker we were linked to?

This wont be popular on here , but Lumpkaku would do a job for us , he is an alternative to the speedy , techinical players we have, a target man who can hold the ball up , we havent had a player like him since Dzeko . Inter are not loaded with money and he will be on big wages , every club will be cutting their cloth in the near future so worth a punt at £60-70m , at 27 he is in his prime. Puts tin hat on.

Said the same myself on another thread.

He'd be fucking Dijon in our team.

You seen his international record basically a goal a game for the last 5 years..He'd be brilliant for us

He is a good finisher but would he be able to press the way Pep wants his strikers/front 3 to do......When at utd he was one of their issues (especially when playing us) as he cant press the back four....

He is undoubtedly a very good finisher and would score loads as you say but for Pep Im not so sure he would be the type of forward he would want.....but Pep did adapt at bayern as well so you never know.

He might be a good finisher but his control is not very good. Given he would have very little time or space against the teams we play, it's not a good fit IMO

But we don't need a player who can hold the ball up, Burnley maybe but not us.
