Berahino and N'jie. I do like the look of Werner though. Shame we cant sign those 3 and a DM
Would really prefer Yarmolenko in addition to those two but that's just being greedy.

Both Berahino and N'jie can also play RWF as well. We are woefully short of any kind of pace in behind so I'm not complaining.Why would you want 3 LWFs, in addition to Chadli?
That would just be like Redknapp and his 6-a-side team of RBs
N'jie and Werner are pretty flexible and could play on both sidesWhy would you want 3 LWFs, in addition to Chadli?

People are misguided. Austin has no more to his game than Grant Holt. Just because he scored a few goals last season everyone is getting giddy.
I don't like Austin but that's absolutely incorrect. He's been scoring for fun for his entire career:
2006–2007 Kintbury Rangers 27 (20)
2007–2008 Hungerford Town 30 (5)
2008 Thatcham Town 0 (0)
2008–2009 Poole Town 42 (48)
2009–2011 Swindon Town 54 (31)
2011–2013 Burnley 82 (41)
2013– Queens Park Rangers 66 (35)
I'd still rather have someone else but as a back up CF he's definitely a decent shout.
As another here mentioned, N'Jie and Berahino are very good options. Together they'd give us great coverage across the front three while only buying two players. Both have very promising futures even if they are very raw.
The good thing about raw though is that the manager can make them into whatever he wants. Give Pochettino two seasons with them and they'll be stars.
I'd prefer Werner as well, he's 3 years younger and has more top-flight experience, but it looks like he wants to stay where he is for now. N'Jie is still a very good option, I feel and if we can get Berahino as well, we would have done what we need to with regards to our attacking options (still want Yarmolenko though...).Not sold by him and can't put my finger on why, rather Werner and Berhaino

Just watched this video, seems to be the best one showcasing his play from last season.
What stands out to me is that he's popping up on either flank and looks perfectly happy either way.
Also, at times when he could shoot he is unselfish and sliding nice passes into Lacazette to get assists instead.
Equally though, the first goal in the video shows him through the middle, beating the offside trap and rounding the keeper with confidence.
There are other lovely finishes throughout (2 min 45ish a good example).
Pace to burn. Appreciate he'll have things to work on and improve but for a reported 10.5 million quid, I think he'd be a great addition.

Darren Bent scored a lot of fans at different levels. Problem is he didn't have the correct skill set to benefit the whole dynamic.
Austin is the same. We don't need a battering ram striker. We need a striker with finesse, guile and subtley to get through stubborn defences.
