So I think everyone agrees we need to sign a striker or attacking alternative to our new born hero Mr Kane.
But what attributes and level of ability do you want this player to have?
Ade needs to go for many reasons as does Soldado as he's just not cut it.
I think we need a fairly big packet striker who can also play in the RWF And LWF positions.
I think they should be either 28+ and 1st team quality or a youngster perhaps under 25 who has potential but is willing to not be a first choice but who isn't far off and is somewhat proven already incase we need to rely on them.
So far we bid for Ings possibly Martial and are strongly linked with Llorente.
While Llorente is a proven class striker I can't see him coming here to sit on the bench and also who says he'll adapt to the prem any better than Soldado did. Ings seemed like a sensible option but again would he have been ok to sit on the bench? Martial was the one I was most excited about as I think he would've given us pace and options in the wide areas + a strong alternative to Kane and possibly an option for 4-4-2 if we needed to switch.
Others linked are Berahino and Benteke, the former is probably too small for the lone role but could he play out wide? I'm not so sure and Benteke would be a good fit but is 1st team quality so probably wouldn't move to fight for a place with kane.
So who do you guys think is the ideal fit and should we be looking to sign a ST and WF or just a ST?
For me we could try and sign one who can cover both + have the right qualities to play 4-4-2 if we needed too.
For me now we've sorted the defence somewhat with Trippier and Alderwield this signing is the one we need to really get right.
Any other rumours of who Mitchell and his merry band may be considering? And who do you all think would be the perfect realistic signing?
COYS!
