LRD Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 The true litmus test is still whether we get a Cabella-level striker that we really need. Who though? The only (somewhat solid) links I've seen are Riviere and Lacazette. Neither of them are that level Take a punt on Diabaté? Maybe Vela from Sociedad since they've just got that bloke from Heerenveen. Sociedad just paid Arsenal huge money to get Vela on a permanent like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 How much would Doumbia from CSKA Moscow cost? I assume too much.. Would the same apply to Rondon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I would have bet everything on that Dibate guy, but I believe he's currently injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doumbia's contract runs out in 2015, but think they'll still want a fair whack. At least £15 million. Besides he's a little un. So as the lead striker, me no think so.

Atleti did it with Demichelis last summer too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 It's been far too quiet on the main striker front tbh. Personally, I would like to see us go all out for Lukaku. May be unrealistic, but if you don't try... Sell him the whole, look who weve signed, your the last piece of the puzzle. I'm really hoping that's what we're doing. Maybe not Lukaku, but for someone. Now were one cb in and out from selling a top striker a good, settled squad for next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Also would love to have Yaya Sanogo here, think arsenal would be tempted to throw him in since they got him for nowt? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mix between Gouff/Rémy. Very energetic striker, good finisher and decent link-up play, he's still young and has room for improvement, but you can sense he'll never be a top-class striker.
