Are there any realistic options as a "big money striker"? I can't see us spending more than 10 Million on someone, perhaps 12 million at the most.. Just under what it would take to get someone like Lacazette, PEA, or even Remy.. If you look around the 'top 5' leagues there don't seem to be many great options. In our market these days 10 million would buy someone like Jordan Rhodes.. not the worst idea but far from the guaranteed goal scorer that we are looking for..

The only way I can see us bringing in a big name striker is either on loan or someone like Darren Bent who won't cost that much but still has a record of scoring goals in the premier. We have to factor in our overall goal which is primarily to finish between 8th and 12th approx. Start adding quality strikers or CB's to what we've already signed and we'd be in danger of qualifying for Europe at the cost of at least £20m in fees and wages.

I'm over the moon with the signings and if we could keep barfa and get a proven goalscorer and centre back I would be even happier.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And if pardew fell down that big hole in Siberia that would really make my year.

Would people be happy with Vlaar for 4m? Seems like a bargain to me, but I may be overreacting to WC performance.

 

Why on earth would he be available for as little as 4m? Even if his contract is winding down. 29, Club captain and great work cup showings. Double that for starters.

Wish we were in for some of the CB's moving clubs this summer. Caulker would have been decent. Our CB's (especially when MYM leaves) are to put it bluntly, terrible. We're going to concede buckets of goals this season, especially from corners. Need central defensive reinforcements badly.

I don't think he's as good as his WC showing, in fact I'm pretty certain he isn't.

 

But he's still better than any of our lot at dealing with the aerial stuff.

 

Netherlands' formation/tactics and manager probably made him look better. Not to say he's crap and he's still a significant upgrade on Willo/Saylor.

Wow didn't see that, they must be mad. In that case, my point about 12m being enough for Benteke stands again!

Lacazette signing an extension at Lyon.

But to make everyone feel better here is a rehashed article on why signing him would be potentially a waste of time.

That just says that his club want him to sign an extension, doesn't mean he will. Supposedly Liverpool are after him or Remy and so are we according to Ryder. We won't get either.
