New striker?

[argyle]

Haaland is the best option out there for me.
regardless of who is agent is.
Pay up and we’ll reap the benefits for years to come.
He’d score a shit load of goals for us.

True but I don't think he wanted to play here.

 

[I'm Blue]

Apparently Messi did, things change.
Surely we should be trying/enquiring?

He wanted to play for Pep, not sure he thinks anything of us as a club.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

No one out there excites me other than Mbappe or Haaland and neither don’t want to join City. Keep the money in the pot until Sergio leaves.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Just seen havertz still not gone chelsea cheeky last minute bid?

 

[Dobsy]

Aubameyang

Yup. He's not signed that contract, knows the league, is top level and will have an immediate impact. He'll be the one I think.

Exactly whose spot is the 31-year old taking?

 

[asahartford1]

I am of the belief that we are going in for Haland next season, so we have a few choices. A do nothing and plod on through. B buy a young player for emergencies, perhaps with the ability to play left wing, C buy an old timer to fill the gap. i do not know how happy Giroud is but Sturridge on a pay per play would not be terrible given that he is club trained and out of a job?

Sturridge, pay per play, club trained.

Have a word with yourself.

 

[asahartford1]

Nope. Not going to return to England.

No. But nothing to do with him returning to England

I think he'd be a stop gap striker but agree it would be good to get a younger model. I don't see much out there that would improve us though. Chelsea got Werner, Haaland doesn't want to come and Raiola is his agent, I'm not impressed by Martinez, Kane would break the bank.

I agree he could probably do the biz for us, but as long as Aguero is around we aren't screaming out for a striker that will almost definitely want to be starting every big match.

 

[RayCTID]

With Juve signing Suarez he might just become available?...

Possible. No harm in trying and Juve aren't that awkward to deal with (although they were part of the old G-14).

 

[RayCTID]

No. But nothing to do with him returning to England

If its Suarez then he did have problem with the media and was pissed of with living in England

 

[GaudinoMotors]

But that's the problem- he frequently isn't around.

So get rid of Aguero?

 

[Paul1970]

We are gonna have a massive problem when kun retires . Don’t know who is gonna come in and do the job tbh

Imagine Kun breaks down immediately, just Jesus alone is bad for the club. Need to scout South America, players out there like Santos Borré (24), not going to cost the earth so worth a punt IMO.

Jesus has the third best goal and assists per 90 mins played record in the prem era. I don’t think we realise how lucky we are to have someone like that who’s content with playing second fiddle

Completely agree with you about Jesus. I think for me is the issue we have if either he or Kun are injured for a while; we simply play too many games to be able to play the same striker every game; PL, CL, EFL cup come thick and fast. We could do with a young back up striker than isn't too much of a drop in quality for league cup games, easier home fixtures versus weak Prem opponents, etc.

Unless we pay a big fee and a big wage or they’re mainstays for their national team then a work permit is out of the question.

We can only go Europe for this window and in January who on earth knows the likely rules.
