Let's talk strikers: who do we buy and why?

But yeah, Omsinhen's passing participation is pretty shit. 11% bottom percentile.

Look up Isak on that site for proper numbers. Gyokeres is in a similar ballpark.
 
Mateta or Mbeumo if there's not big money to spend.

If there is the possibility of spending big then Kane or Osimhen.

Last case scenario is to go for a Vardy or Giroud just for one season until there's the money.
 
I wonder what Frankfurt would be looking for Ekitike? I personally love strikers that are actually good footballers. I hate the evolution towards Haaland -style terminators compared to strikers like Cantona, Van Persie, Rooney, Henry or Benzema. I feel like Ekitike is a bit of a throwback. He's lanky but very athletic and skilful. Think if people are looking for the next Isak, its probably him.

A player like that is less pacey than the likes of Osimhen or Gyokeres. The player who combines speed, technique and physique is Sesko but for the asking price he's a bit risky.

What do you mean? Osimhen is one of the best headers in world football.
 
Osimhen, definitely. Mateta is also a good shout.

Arokodare at Racing Genk looks like he could turn into one of those gangly Mateta style forwards, looks awesome in the air as well. Plus he might be quite a bit cheaper than Mateta.

Ideally you would want to bring in Osimhen and someone else because both of our forwards are hopeless.
 
Could not find anywhere to put this, and admins have told me not to make new threads for them, so here.

Will do some investigating on Arokodare always like finding new players, if we were going to sign any prime age ST, Mateta would be my choice.

He might not be an Osimhen or a Gyokeres, but he has 2 years left on his deal, PL proven and with his wages at CP wouldn’t want £200K + a week.
 
Surprised at so many mentioning Mateta, to be honest. He just isn't good enough to play for us, and will barely raise the standards.

I think Guirassy is someone that would be a great fit for us. Great technique, good aerially and fantastic hold-up play and can actually link up pretty decently too. I don't just want a striker that are an improvement in hold-up play when compared to Højlund. I prefer that they are actually good with the ball at their feet too, and can pick a pass as well. My first choice would be Isak, but that is highly unlikely, and Guirassy would not be that expensive, and he does not come with the attitude/drama stuff and crazy wage demands that someone like Osimhen brings.

I'd expect them to aim for 80-100m if somebody wants Ekitike. That's the range their main striker costs these days and what they got for Kolo Muani and Marmoush.

Especially as they won't need to sell in the summer, especially not if they qualify for the CL.

Too late. He only signed for Dortmund in the summer, he would be expensive. Buying him from Stuttgart would have been smart business, but now it would be a tough deal to make.
 
Delap is a good shout. My only concern is whether he can play well for us instead of for a relegation candidate. Oh wait…
