A less twaty version of Costa.


I am trying to think of a Striker that would fit us. Dybala? Talented, but looks soft. Griezman? Overrated.

I don't think we are going to see anyone this summer, but next year, if Sergio leaves, that will be a big challenge for us. The market is not how it used to be when it comes down to goal hungry cunts that will step up when you need him.
We were really blessed striker wise in the past 8-9 years, with Adeba, Mario, Edin, Jovetic, and of course the two argie buldogs. Our only real miss was Bony.

Agree, but who? I am trying to get ahead around this and the name Kane is the only one that comes in mind.

There were times this season when a big powerful striker with a real ariel threat would have been a benefit.

If he's grown up now, and realises he has to put a shift in every time he trains AND plays, then maybe Mario, but I don't know if he will ever grow up (which is part of his charm).

Whoever it is would have to be capable of playing our plan A. Dzeko, no chance. Mario, Pep wouldn't go for it. Kane, I'm not even sure he could manage it.

We won’t go for him but Giroud would bag loads of goals for us. Imagine him on the end of some of Bendy Mendys crosses?

Shame he went to Chavski

He and Mendy could give us stories for the ages.

I think he will never grow up, but a serious Mario would not be the same.
