When dembele began at Fulham he was a striker and destroyed us with two goal sin a 4-0 fa cup game. He looked good there, and even behind a forward.

AVB ruined him playing him deep

Actually, Jol started playing him as a CM and for the longest Dembele/Sandro pairing was one of the more potent pairings.

I think Dembele could do it.

He was a striker wasn't he, he holds the ball up as well as anyone.

Him and dier may be able to replicate that, dembele will be a major asset this season no doubt

I saw a striker called Carlos Costly on the list of available strikers. Can you imagine if we signed him...

I see the striker depth chart as:

1. Kane
2. Clinton
3. Son
4. Dembele / Chadli / Lamela
5. Onomah / U21 striker

If we continue to play 1 up front, we should be OK til January.

I bet we see two up top more than we think this season, Kane and a pacey partner could be lethal, barring massive injures I'm not to worried tbh COYS

I do agree with that , but it did suck the attacking life out of him when h e was pinned further back, he used to glide past player's.

Surprised we had only Berahino on our radar just the one option but I guess we all live and learn all our lives.

Personally I'd go with Chadli and Son together to mix things up, think they'd do pretty well together.

Chadli and Son. Cat Stevens. " there's always something new ".

Dembele can hold up the ball well and started his career as a striker, so we could play him there as long as we had 2 goalscorers playing wide.

I think we definitely should recall Coulthirst as an option.

Click to expand...

worth trying him there in Europe - he can hold a ball up better than anyone - he just doesn't have a shot on him though.

Alot of talk about Berbs/Ade or Son/Chadli etc but a question for those of you following the youth (and before you say anything, I know about the thread) do we have any potential stars amongst our ranks that could play as a striker

Edit: not just play as a striker but are a natural striker.

Dembele no chance. He would pass the ball to the lino rather than shoot.

That's the reason why we have won fuck all. I admire a Chairman who refuses to sell a player just because a better team comes calling. Pearce has taught Levy a good lesson this transfer window.

Mason used to be a striker. And mousa.
Chadli, son and njie could do a job there.

Im guessing we would go 433 if Kane was unavailable.

I would guess that's how all Managers chasing a CL place think. Let's just bung a midfielder up front and see what happens. See it all the time i guess..........if that fails let's think of someone who would "do a job".
