Nobody fancy Bafetimbi Gomis from O Lyonnais?

25 goals from 53 games last season, 16 from 29 this season.

Career 99 from 294.

Plus he has the same hair as the Predator. What's not to like?

He's looked like Heskey in a wig whenever I've seen him tbh.

Bale as our main striker from now on, proved us wrong about being just a fb, proved us wrong about just being a winger, he has everything needed to be a top striker. Don't see the purpose of pissing about and wasting opportunities by giving respect to artificial labels. Him up front also allows us to get Sig, Holtby and Lennon all on the pitch at the same time and with Dempsey in the squad we have a versatile, easily rotated forward line. Defoe and Adebayor can be a threat from the bench.

I doubt Levy will spend 20m + on a 27 year old Michu.

Leandro is the one we'll get. Our bald leader will not be mugged off on this.

Richie said something similar - remarkably so - in the TR section. I can see all that happening and would be very interested to see what would happen with those changes. It might work beautifully. Also a massive chance it all just doesn't work.

Gylfi and Holtby would need to pick things up ridicuously quickly, and AVB needs to be an uber-coach, to get them up to speed as wide forwards. Bale, he can be anything he wants to be quite frankly. A Thierry Henry or whatever. He's got pace, power, finishing and composure. He's also not Thierry Henry. He's already way ahead in that respect. :D

Would there be enough goals though? Who knows. My feeling is that if we started the season with Bale as the false #9/striker and Gylfi and Holtby as wide forwards, it would not be by design but due to failures in the TW. That's not to say it couldn't work but eh. It would be very ballsy from AVB and the coaches to actively pursue that direction as the preferred option.

scrub my previous reply it was bollox.. Jovetic has 12 goals and 4 assists in 23 games..

his skill is immense for his age,would have to act quick and with bags of money. But i think its doable if we finish top 4, just noticed he is linked with the scum too

Getting linked with Higuain over the past couple of days.

Could be Madrid doing their bit though. Possible makeweight in any Bale bid. Sounds like something they would put out in the media!

A striker that will suit AVB's tactics really well is Leandro tbh lol, I expect us to make £12million if not lower bid in the summer

He's never even been our player but im already sick to the back teeth of Leandro. I also think he would struggle to match his price tag.

I'd like Pablo Osvaldo personally.
