Are there no young strikers anywhere worth taking a punt on? The only one I think I've read about this summer was Dybala who went to Juve very early in the window - is there no other striker anywhere worth thinking about? Berahino seems the only one in England, we've sold Henriquez without a chance in the first team, then there's that Lacazette guy in France. Nobody else anywhere? In Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Italy? Hell I'd take a prospect from fecking Iceland if there is one :lol:

There is at least Kane, Morata, Martial, Lacazette, Berardi and Alcacer.

TBF, he wasn't going to say "I joined the 2nd biggest club on the planet".

He said what he had to.

"Joined one of the biggest clubs on the planet"?

Don't think Beckham ever made a comment like that after going from United to Real.

There was also Vietto. I hoped we could get Dybala in, maybe be our own version of Aguero. But we probably had no chance, even if we were interested, which we probably werent. Dybala always prefered to stay in Italy and Vietto went to his former coach Simeone.

Kane of course isn't available, but might any of the others be? (I known Lacazette signed a new contract recently.)

In theory they are all available, they all play for selling clubs.
 
It would be interesting to see how Pato would perform in the PL and the level that he's at. I hope that it wouldn't be with us though.

It's the not the worst thing a footballer has ever done, and it never will be.

Think a better example is Ronaldo.
 
Dante is an awful defender, carried by Boateng week in week out. Never any truth in LVG being even remotely interested.

Shaping up for a crazy few days. Definitely think we'll bring in a striker or a goal-scoring winger, and a new keeper if the reports of Real offering £29m for De Gea are true.

Pato wouldn't be a bad punt for £6m, so long as he wasn't the only attacking acquisition.

As for Falcao, he was awful but so were we at creating ch ances - you look at how bad Rooney's goal scoring record was (before Tuesday) with a lack of service. I don't think the he'll get to his previous level but given the situation and new country, league etc I wouldn't dismiss him so flippantly.

I can't understand why it isn't obvious to everyone that he's done.

It doesn't matter about the chances, he physically cannot move or kick a ball properly anymore.

Yeah, but chances, creativity, LVG, tactics, philosophy....its not Falcao's fault!

He looked finished last year but a 2 time CL winner and current PL champion took a punt, so it's not that clear-cut.
 
tbh Hernandez isn't a good option even if something does happen to Rooney, he's a good super sub but given any confidence he did have has been eaten away over the past 3 years I'm not sure he's even got goals in him from the bench these days so yeah get rid
 
Great signing for Valencia. He'd have been very good for Chelsea, I'm glad they've missed out on him.
 
If we're selling Chicharito, as is rumored in tomorrow's papers, who the hell are we signing?

LVG has said on three seperate occasions he isnt going anywhere. We are short of strikers even if we bring one in.

Yeah but that telegraph journalist said he's been told he can leave, surely he has to have a source with a real name for that?
 
Selling Hernandez without bringing in a striker would be monumentally stupid.

Christ, not bringing in a striker would be bad even if he stays, but if it's not plausible to bring someone in then don't let the only other option we have leave.

Hopefully bullshit formed from reading too much in to that look.
 
Hernandez was just taking Felliani's place on the bench till his ban was served, he's our real #2 striker.

Not really, it was expected and there is a lot of promising young players. Not playing the CL is disappointing though.
