Who was the last genuine world class German striker? Klose? Klinsmann? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macphisto Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 (edited) Unless we get Wissa, which we should walk away from after tomorrow, then I'd look for a loan to give ourselves time to sort ourselves out in January or next summer.

Edit: Podolski was also born in Poland. Apparently the Polish coach at the time turned him down. Whoops. Edited August 18, 2025 by Deuce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 Wouldn’t be surprised to see Moise Kean linked again, Fab said we are interested in another player from Italy. He’s been linked previously as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cant go into this season with some half quality striker. We can forget the season as a whole without a proper striker(s). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly no idea but there must be someone we could go for out there. If not a loan then a signing similar to Wood who was always going to be short term and we got some of our money back.

Mattoon Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 I see Jackson as the Wissa alternative, I think he could hit the ground running and do well for us. Loan with an option? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is whether we have any targets left that we're prepared to spend a lot of money on? We could easily now be out of options. Get someone in if necessary to do half a job fit the season, give ourselves to regroup and see who else is out there and comes through this season. We can't afford expensive panic buys.

STM Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 Not a link but a suggestion... Solanke. Not their number 1 striker anymore. Howe is a big fan. Hes 27, so still has good years ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes ill-informed, sometimes maybe on the money. Just like fans might sing "there's only one greedy bastard" but it would be a bit off if Eddie Howe or Tindall joined in.
