New striker?

Haaland has much better numbers than Havertz and Werner ever had, and Werner is already doing much better under Tuchel, just a matter of time before he explodes. And Haaland is UCL proven. Kane a big risk, but probably could be acceptable after top 2 names, which for me would be Haaland and Lukaku
Haaland is the best young talent out there in terms of goal scoring but would need time to settle.
I'm not to sure his style of play would suit ours either.
I would never have Lukaku over Kane mate.
 
Too old at 28 to spend 120 plus mill, especially with his history of ankle injuries.
Just looked up his injury record and it's not as bad as some say.
He's missed 25 games with ankle injuries in 9 years, par for the course for professional athletes.

I feel like we’re back to Pep’s first year “will his style fit the PL”? But now it’s reversed: “will X player not fit Pep’s style?” Of course Haaland’s would quite easily, as would most young player’s. Kane over Lukaku based on current form can only be explained if you haven’t been watching Lukaku lately

Time wise,agree. The difference is it’s numerous injuries on his ankles. For a footballer constant ankle injuries are alway a danger of causing a weakness that could easily be career shortening.

Nonetheless, paying what it would take for a 28yo with his injury history isn’t too smart as far as I’m concerned. Could mean trouble down the line.
 
For me, if it were a list of 3 Regardless of availability or price it would be. Mbappe, Haaland , Felix, After that not sure think it would be a bit of a drop off or somebody I’ve never seen / heard of.

I've watched Haaland quite a bit and have been impressed but he will need time to adapt to 10 men behind the ball and a constant rotation of the ball in our midfield and defence. Lukaku's first touch is a question for me but that's the beauty of football mate, we all have different opinions.

Mbappe would be the dream signing. But not sure we'd pay £500/600 grand a week for him. He's got Madrid written all over him.

Normally, I’d agree. The issue PSG,and Mbappe have got is his contract. I have doubts about whether Madrid can afford him this summer, unless they can sell a few, but that may take all summer. So what does Mbappe do if they can’t .He could extend at PSG but that puts his price up if Madrid come back down the line. If he doesn’t extend would PSG let him stay and walk away for nothing.
Or do they sell this summer, does he move to someone if Madrid is off the table.

I hope you're right pal. He is a seriously special player. Has got a bit of everything.
