I'm not advocating for Piatek as I don't know enough about him but many here rate Koulibaly very highly.
I find it interesting that in the few highlights I've seen of Piatek, he's either beaten or gotten behind KK a number of times (often scored).
Not saying that Piatek is what we need but the evidence is there that he can beat an experienced & highly rated defender.

I can see why we would be linked hes a proper No9, very good in the air scoring headers, bit of a fox in the box. He does need service and crossing into the box, which maybe be ideal as we dont do that much and try to play through teams, although that has changed a tad since JM has arrived. He is a good target man, im not sre about hold up play(as not watched to many games) but he is quite strong and physical. the problem with any striker like this is that they know as soon as Kane is back he aint getting game time

This review gives me semblances of Soldado. "He does need service" makes me very, very wary after that experiment. I know that he's bigger than Soldado and might could pop off some headers, but generally in recent years we've found strikers requiring work to be done by others to be pretty ineffective.

I liked Bobby but I thought mostly it wasnt service he needed more glasses :cautious:

Looks like a poacher by all accounts. A slightly better Llorente.

Thought we would have learned from Soldado and Llorente that that’s not what we need.

Another player who’ll be on our books for 2 years stinking the place out.

He's not playing much for Napoli. Wont be long before he's linked with a return!

Kane out till APRIL ... Any striker will do now ?
In a dream scenario Parrott steps in and gives us something but he's only 17 and it would be silly to put pressure on him at this stage.

The club simply have to address this situation. Alcacer on loan, Piatek on loan.

Without a central striker we are going to have lots of issues and top 4 will not happen. No way.

Any of those two on loan with a view to buy is fine by me

I think we all know it will be son mixed with a bit of Lucas and maybe one or two outings from the bench for parrot.

Jimmy Greaves was going great at 17.

I think he'd do well here. He's been awful for Milan this season but they are more toxic than us. Working with Kane as a mentor I think he'd do a worthy understudy.

Rather him than Alcacer. Petkovic from Dinamo Zagreb would also be great but I'm not sure if he would join knowing Kane would return eventually.

I don’t even think this link has much truth in it. It feels like one of those where our name is added to flush out shitter teams.
