Striker watch - 2022 Edition

Rakim

Napoli paid 70-80 mil € for Osmihen I think. I don´t see how we can get him for anything below 100mil. Not really realistic we can get him. Although would be a great buy.
Even the money being mentioned for Isak is a lot, and he would be quite a risk signing.
Will be hard to find a good striker in the summer, hopefully Edteta can surprise us. I´m also really sceptical about DCL or Watkins, Vlahovic was really the ideal chance for us, can see why they were so fixated on him.

Can't be spending massive money on a striker that doesn't score serious numbers.

Klaus

Osimhen has too many injuries too, even allowing for the fact that you probably can't put a cracked skull down to injury-proneness. Popped shoulders, pulled hamstrings, there's always something. Fantastic player though; a bigger talent than Vlahovic.

I'd easily take Isak though.

Clrnc

He would score serious numbers if he wasn't injured last year.

He is prolific everywhere throughout his career.

Ignoring the cost entirely, if you could sign Osimhen or Alexander Isak in the summer, who would you plump for?

Osimhem hands down. That would be a serious dream come true. Have been wishlisting him for 2 years already

Worry is some of his dynamism will fade with age

Reports this morning said that we considered an Auba Icardi swap in Jan but decided against it.

I wouldn’t have minded the latter, he’s a deadly finisher even though he is a head case.

No chance.

Aubameyang may have been late a few times, but was a good natured guy who got along with everyone.

Icardi causes major problems wherever he goes, not to mention his wife/agent.

No chance we should have made that deal. Rather we target young attackers this summer who we can build into what we want.

I doubt Arteta entertained the idea at all 😆

Clrnc

There's no way he would accept a quality player with behavioural issues.

Attitude aside, Icardi isn’t good enough

As a pure finisher there are few that can match him in the Prem.

At Inter he scored 111 goals in 188 appearances.

Burnwinter

We don't need a pure finisher, though, let alone one with huge personality flaws.

banduan

Icardi's attitude has apparently started affecting his performances anyway.

I'm surprised at the rumours around Broja. That's definitely a made-up Mirror story. No way are the Chavs selling him to us.

Romano obviously hearing good things.

The key is getting fourth so that those targets want to come here.

goon

Depends on who are targets are really, but 4th would be a massive boost/accelerant in several aspects in getting back to where we want, from recruitment and retention to commercial/TV income.

QuincyAbeyie

Of course, but the "don't worry" kind of targets often want CL football. Our targets for midfield and striker have been good (Locatelli and Vlahovic) but preferred Juve. Even CL might not have convinced them, but who knows. The salary with us is certainly better so maybe that + CL could've been able to get us past Juve on their destination wishlists.

Reunite with Pepe in a front two :drool:

No way he leaves Milan who are sitting 1st for Wolves or Everton ffs.

Klaus

Fuck I want Leao.
