I wouldn't be adverse to a (realistic) strike force of Adebayor, Huntelaar and Fletcher.

For me these would be too similiar and most likely be unhappy with lack of game time
Agree we need three strikers and that all have to be able to play the lone role up front.
However I feel that at least one will have to be able to play other roles (wide or/and support) as well,
while one perhaps should be a younger player more willing to wait his time.

I wonder if we will pick up anyone before the Euros like we did with Modric. There must be some good strikers out there for us to take a risk on? Who plays up top for Croatia? I noticed Mandzukic has more international goals than Jelavic, sign him up now!

alvaro negredo would be a huge hit in the premiership imho. & affordable.

Aye, agree. Negredo slips a bit under people's radar due to the more profiled spanish strikers like Llorente and Soldado.
He's an excellent striker with qualities that should suit the Premier League well

What about Coulibaly? Although I guess he might go out on loan next season? But I mean he has been scoring I think for youth team? So why not have him around next season with someone like Saha, both of which could play in domestic cups together and then we could have two main strikers for league and european football.

It's been a bit of a trouble position for them, and they are very happy to see Jelavic break through.
Think he'll start for them in the euros, obviously Eduardo didn't turn out the way they hoped (after the injury).
Mandzukic is decent, could be the back up option for us. Like Remy he can also play wide.
They also have the veteran Ivica Olic, who I believe is looking for a move in the summer and could be a valuable squad player.

Olic has said he wants to stay in Germany, shame because I have thought for a while he would be very good in the PL

I think so too, especially think Aston Villa should have made him a main transfer target.
He could do the same role as Robbie Keane did so well for them in winter
