Just posted in the Txiki thread - i'm pretty certain it'll be Negredo.

Heard something, Billy? Would much prefer Negredo to Gómez.

Just putting two and two together mate. Spanish, he's talking about wanting to leave but only for a CL club. Seville president talking about his valuation. Profile wise he fits perfectly and arguably would be happier being a squad striker than some of the other names mentioned. If we do play with one up top, which I think we will, then it'll be difficult to find a top class player who'll be happy to sit on the bench in big games.

He isn't good enough, along with Gomez and co, this is paper talk.

They are both good enough. Maybe not to start every week, but as options. Gomez has played a part in a Bayern team much better than our own for several seasons. His role is more peripheral now thanks to Mandzukic but he's still scored vital goals for them. If Gomez didn't demand weekly starts, he could be really useful as our equivalent of Hernandez. Osvaldo is the one I'd really avoid from the 'list of four' going around, a very bad temperament.

Personally I think he's more than good enough to effectively be our third choice centre forward.

Most people on here are just mentioning names that are spouted in the press & media in general.

Cavani (too expensive)
Lewandowski (wants to go to Bayern)
Gomez (big lump, looks like a Luftwaffe pilot with his slick back locks)

Or they just reel off any other (deemed) top strikers name out there

Higuain (probs end up at Arsenal)
Benzema (not sure why? Probs coz he plays for Madrid)
Villa (too old, not come back fully from injury)
Benteke (no one had heard of him before last season)
Lukaku (see above)

I'm sure our scouting system is a little bit more rigorous than this..... Thankfully

I reckon a cheap alternative and relatively unknown option could be Carlos Bacca of Club Brugge. I don't know if we'd obtain a work permit, as he has only played 3 internationals for Columbia, scoring 2 goals.
He scored 25 goals from 35 appearances in the Belgian league and looking how Benteke has performed this season in the Premier league, he could be worth a punt.
I don't know anything about him, never really seen him play and don't know if anyone has been linked with him.
I just think he could be a decent back up option, to Aguero and A Nother.


***Cue the abuse***

hmm ... so you rule out Gomez because he looks like Luftwaffe pilot even so he scores for fun?

That is the last thing you need in a striker....one that scores for fun :)

Gomez is a good goalscorer, but I'd have expected him to have scored a lot more than he has, playing in that team and he lacks pace.
It's no surprise they are after Lewandowski and I doubt he's any different to Dzeko.

What's the point of buying another squad striker when we only have one starting 11 striker?
