Striker options

[GetSpurredOn]

There has been significant talk of two in, so long as at least one of them can also play wider. So, Lennon, Ade and Soldado out, two in.
Berahino definitely ticks the boxes, can play central or wide, already off a decent goal return in our league, and at his age definitely potential to be better still.
As the second option, as a CF I like Batshuayi, however today's story about Pato has caught my attention, capable of playing WF or CF, seemingly rehabbed after his Milan ending, wants to come to England, specifically a big city.
Beyond them, Werner, Njie and Ntep look very promising, though availability may be an issue.

I think the player we need from QPR is Vargas not Austin, we don't need the 18 goals in 35 games striker we need the 4 goals in 21 games striker

But seriously in a high pressing system vargas has managed to be more than a 1 in 2 striker

Here are his stats under Sampaoli(plays a high pressing system like bielsa) for the national team
2013 - 12 games - 9 goals - 1 assist - 959mins - 1 goal every 106mins - 1 goal or assist every 96mins - (Egypt, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Venezuela, Spain, Brazil)
2014 - 12 games - 7 goals - 2 assists - 847mins - 1 goal every 121mins - 1 goal or assist every 94mins - (Egypt, Northern Ireland, Spain, Peru, Venezuela)
2015 - 9 games - 4 goals - 1 assist - 645mins - 1 goal every 161mins - 1 goal or assist every 129mins - (Peru, Mexico Ecuador)
(matches in that are not in Bold are friendlies, bolded matches are either competitions or qualifiers)

Now alot of these goals did come against the minions but he did only play as striker for 26 of those games according to transfer market

He would be a risk but on loan he would cover wings and probably offer us something we have been lacking. even if we have to buy his fee should be low though I don't think the arsenal interest is genuine so we would be fight a team from spain(it seems valencia or a qatari team for his signature)

He is a talented player, has unreal speed and good technique but something doesn't quite sit will with me. Napoli clearly dont want him and he has had 30r 4 loan spells and no one has ever made a permenant move for him.

I'm not disputing Berahino is a good player, and that he would fit in... I just wonder about the price hike you get when you buy British proven (ish) players. His attitude might have improved, hell, in some cases he might be the victim. I just base my thinking on how I would act, if I had a no baggage option vs him I would pick the guy with the quiet life every time.

Then again, if I was manager and using that philosophy, we wouldn't have signed Gazza!

Sadly we are dragging the chain again.
