A New Striker in January
- Thread starter TH1239
- Start date
He probably wanted to do this Crouch ----> Ade ( read Crouch out Ade in)

Leandro would be an excellent signing in January as could be eased in with Adebayor as the main centre forward.
Then if we can't secure Adebayor permanently, hopefully he'd be ready to step up and be the main man (we'd obviously then need to sign another forward as cover / competition / partnership).

If Defoe hits 15, then 12 of them will come in one game at home to Norwich and that'll be followed by his traditional 15 month drought. A few gimmies from Adebayor doesn't make a good player of someone who has had more than a decade of mediocracy.
Defoe is getting on a bit (certainly in Levy's eyes) and never really fits into any system.
Yeah
. I meant it in the 'to' sense.

I imagine if we sign Leandro it will be significantly less, but Inter would get a healthy sell-on fee. One good year in the PL and his fee could go astronomical.

But Leandro doesn't solve OP's worries about an injury to Ade. The kid can't play with his back to goal. So while he might be a good addition, he doesn't really solve that potential problem.

Realistic Dream scenario would be to loan/sell Pav and bring in Klasnic. Defoe may not be everyone' cup of tea but for the rest of this season as a possible partner for Ade then I'm happy. Klasnic has done well in the Prem and from what I've seen is physical enough to pay as a lone striker if needs be.
Then bring in Leandro as a 4th striker and use the rest of the seaosn to blend him into the squad and ease him into English life and football.
At the end of the season look to either sell Defoe or make him accept a place as a possible bit-part player.

Impossible to know. Depend on whether Fulham are willing to sell or if he's enough of a dick to force a move mid-season.

Doesn't that rather depend on how well he does this season? I've never been the greatest fan, but he's clearly recognised that his performance last season was unacceptable and worked hard to get into shape over the summer. He could easily do his usual and lose his shooting boots at Christmas, but we should give him the benefit of the doubt.
Klasnic would be an improvement on Pav. Shirley Temple would be an improvement on the Pav we've seen this season. Good enough long-term? (Klasnic, not Shirley.)

We are gonna struggle to sign any striker of note is Jan as there are so few available, add to that there will be other top teams after them too hence the price will be driven up.
