What ‘affordable striker’ will we buy in January?

We need 1-2 wingbacks. Cause mazroui is our ONLY good wingback.

We need a box to box centre midfielder to pair up with Ugarte. Casemiro’s on his last legs. And we need to rotate mainoo.

We need a central striker who can actually hold on to the ball and also be very mobile. Actually Welbeck would kind of fit a 1 year stop gap while waiting for June transfer window.
 
I was very impressed by Samu when we played Porto, but then he has a £100m release clause supposedly, I think he has the profile to be exceptional in the Premier League, whether he would be that much to buy? I don't know

Maybe Josh Maja from West Brom, he would be very cheap and is a very good player, unless we are shopping in the Championship, or somewhere not one of the top leagues in Europe we are not going to get anyone proven and cheap, they will either be cheap and worth a gamble or relatively expensive

We have Wheatley, Hugill, Biancheri and Obi-Martin, maybe one of them will burst out

Porto are not selling him for less than the release clause because currently we only have 50%.

I don’t know if he is ready.
I think he is still a bit raw, technically he is not that good, he is a great target man, but he needs to improve in some areas.
He is only 20 so lot of time to improve of course, immense potential.
 
How is Ivan Toney getting on?

He might be willing to take a pay cut to get out of Saudi.
 
Jonathan David is going to be cheap with 6 months remaining on his contract. Karim Konate is another option bit of another gamble but is apparently available for £25 million. We probably need to be favouring a more experienced striker.
 
I cannot believe there are people on this thread saying bringing in a centre forward is "not a priority".

Our centre forward options are currently Hojlund and Zirkzee.

I'll repeat that again, our centre forward options are currently Hojlund and Zirkzee.

Do we want our team to score f**king goals or not?

I would be happy to gamble on David for a low fee. I’m not confident in him, though, to be honest.
 
I doubt we BUY anyone in January. I could see a short term loan (a Portuguese Weighorst?) to take us through to summer when we splash out on Gyokeres.

Having said that I wouldn't say no to a Welbz return in the short term, you just know that as soon as he re - signed for us he'd get crocked.
 
I’m sure every agent in the world will be in touch offering up frustrated clients on a 6 month loan. Someone like Muani from PSG most likely but not sure I’d bother.
 
My dream scenario is; lets see what Hojlund and Zirkzee can really do this season and what is their level. Then at the end of the season sell one and buy Isak or Osimhen.

Yeah, not happening but that would be my dream scenario. Osimhen or (especially) Isak would be amazing under Amorim.
 
A cheap striker is not what we need. We need to sell one and buy a proper proven striker in the summer, hopefully we can make it to the PL.
