Guest Gino14 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I'd say we have Cisse, Perez and Riviere. Only one of those is really a proven premier league striker. One is an improving youngster and the other is practically a ghost. Maybe De Jong can play there as well, but we're definitely lacking unless we sign someone. Realistically we could do with a striker and centre back as top priorities. Then it'd be nice if we had some reserve full backs and perhaps a new winger to brighten up our wing options. Hopefully bringing someone in could mean the end for Obertan. In reality, I'd be surprised if we even manage the vital striker and centre back additions.

gdm Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 riviere, cisse, perez, armstrong & gouffran As far as the club is concerned they are all classed as strikers or at least forwards. Wether they are good enough isnt really relevant to what was asked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Looks like this is happening, as we haven't been able to find a striker we like for less than £15 million seemingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Looks like this is happening, as we haven't been able to find a striker we like for less than £15 million seemingly. Not that surprising when we paid £15m for a striker 20 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Taking a step back its sad how far we've fallen when the the potential signing of Charlie Austin excites so many. Not too sure tbh, a striker who can bag goals in a poor side signed for £6m for us many years ago and became a legend by setting the record for consecutive PL games scored in and then an England striker shortly after.

Wallace Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 If Austin ends up at West Ham, I wonder what that means for Carroll. Will they get rid or just keep him as a (very expensive) squad player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Thought West Ham weren't interested? I think he will end up here. Just a case of the fee IMO. Then again, it will be interesting if Bournemouth or Leicester stump up the 15m. Will force us to move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, it will be interesting if Bournemouth or Leicester stump up the 15m. Will force us to move. I think he'll end up here as well assuming he can get over the idea of moving north. From our point of view he's probably the sort of English player we can compete for as the bigger clubs won't be in for him except as a bench warmer. He might not be the best player ability wise, but he has shown that he can score goals in the premier. It's probably as good as we can reach for right now without actually really going for it.
