It's an improvement on current options, but will still blow up in AW's face if he does nothing more and we see the likes of Lewandowski, Zlatan, Morata, Higuain, Benzema, PEA, Lukaku, Benteke, Batshuayi, Lacazette, Costa & Sturridge all moving.
Lewandowski and Costa are unrealistic (Lewandowski is at a bigger club and Costa would only leave for Spain and why would Chelsea sell to us anyway and not to mention doubts surrounding his temperament)
Morata's a 30-40m man reportedly and for a player who's bagged a max haul of 8 league goals that is a crazy price
Sturridge is a quality player but he's a wreck
Zlatan is 35 this year and while he's done outstandingly it's not a matter of if but when his decline starts and playing for the best team by a mile in a weak league and at best a top 4 side in England is completely different. He can be a success no doubt and obviously has world class ability but I'd be really surprised if at his age he hit's similar numbers to the ones in France.
The two other ligue 1 strikers are a gamble too.
Not gonna lie I'd take Higuain, Aubameyang, Lukaku and Benzema over Vardy and they'd be all realistic (Benz aside who'd be available only if Madrid signed a big name over him) but the first 3 would be I am sure really really on a different level in terms of prices.
Higuain as reported by Dimarzio can leave for his 72m GBP release clause
Lukaku is by merseyside correspondents leaving if Everton get around 60m
Aubameyang would probably be the most difficult among those to prise. How many key players would Dortmund let go of and they're flush with lots of cash from sales already.
