Top striker

We need a 20 goal a season striker "who" and how much are we prepared to spend, personally I think thats where a lot of the budget should be spent but in the premier how much is enough 5 10 15 20 million?

We won’t get anyone who scores 20 goals.


If our top scorer gets a dozen we’ve done well

Just a target i don't expect 20 i was been a tad hopefull although vardy has and he came from non league with leicster just feel we need to spend in this postition

We will be fighting relegation we aren't going to get a player score 20 goals. Aquero only for 21 goals in a free scoring man City. Lukaku cost a fortune and only got 16. People need to be realistic.

Would really like Charlie Austin, has a great record in the premier league. Surely wouldn't cost any more than 15 mill?

Agree we need a top striker but there's no way we will spend more than 10m on a striker. There are some quality strikers out at the moment but we would need to act fast..

FREE AGENTS OR CONTRACT ENDING IN SUMMER
Jackson Martínez
Abel Hernández

POTENTIAL LOAN
Danny Ings
Kelechi Iheanacho

TRANSFERS 10m OR LESS
Nils Petersen 7.5m
Salomon Kalou 3.5m
Alfred Finnbogason 8.5m

Apparently we had a agreement to sign Soloman Kalou a few years ago when we went up but he pulled out last minute.

Madine has cost 5 million and has' nt scored a goal?

A long shot... But how about

Bas Dost

Increadible goal scoring records, huge traget man too.
Looks like he wants out of sporting after being attacked by fans.

Thinking 15m though

Assomblonga/Dwight Gayle. Think they'll suit our old school long ball style

I dont think we would get either for less than 15mill
Assombalonga hasnt exactly proven hes worth his price tag

Bast dost is defo worth a punt but would probably cost a ton. And so would Kalou in wages

In my view it seems about 15 million is our limit looking through the forums for a striker paul merson though the perfect fit would have been. Will have to get spelling right this time "salomon rondon" on gillette soccer saturday run's himself into the ground gives his all and would fit our style of play pity we did' nt go for him but who am i a fan not an expert but can usually spot a player like most fans and it seems the foriegn clubs think the same along with pellegrini west ham's new manager only difference is its not my money to spend

We've got a top striker, Zohore.

We've got a top striker, Zohore.

It would take a brave manager to trust him to score the goals to keep us up

We've got a top striker, Zohore.

Nine goals in the Championship last season. Not going to get any easier for him next season.

Of Zohore can stay fit I think he will do well next season, not many of his style in the Prem. His injuries didn't help last season but he generally did well when fit.

We still need another option, people out there but anyone expecting a huge goal scorer is in dreamland. We need someone who can get goals and bring others into play.

I got no problem with zahore at all but he may get injured may have an off day a bit of competion you cannot rely on one striker i know we have got madine as back up but we are stepping up a division and poor old madine did not score in the chapionship granted he was a bit player i also think we are not going to have the ammount of possession we had in the championship so will be relying on free kicks set pieces so will need somebody good in the air and as much as i admire zahore heading is not his strongest point hence the need for another striker when needed

Without a doubt we need another striker. We had hardly no possession in the championship games either

We need a rondon or someone who can lead the line but works hard and gets goals.

Glad we agree about another striker its the budget and cist we don' t no what vinny' s going to allow but they said on the play off final yesterday its worth 180 million coming up and staying up in the first season is worth 280 million so i personally don't t think spending 15 million on a striker is over the top

Zohore could be a great striker and by that score more goals if when he shoots goes for the opposite side of the goals which he currently aims for , he always goes for the near post , winds me up ,why doesn’t he shoot across the keeper ?

How about this guy for a punt? Raul de tomas.

Real Madrid he's about 23 years old contract runs out this summer. Just scored 20+ goals in Spanish second divison on loan at Rayo. He worth about 2 million.

I would look around Europe personally where you can find some talented strikers that could do a job for us.

Eredivisie league
Wout Weghorst 4.95m - 91 career goals from 233 career appearances
(Last season: 27 goals/8 assists from 37 appearances)
+ Strengths
Holding on to the ball
Passing
Finishing
Headed attempts

Luuk de Jong 6.5m - 150 career goals from 357 career appearances
(Last season: 13 goals/12 assists from 33 appearances)
+ Strengths
Aerial Duels
Key passes
Holding on to the ball
Headed attempts
Passing
Through balls

Bundesliga League
Nils Petersen 6.75m - 152 career goals from 359 career appearances
(Last season: 19 goals/1 assists from 37 appearances)
+ Strengths
Finishing
Dribbling
Defensive contribution

Alfred Finnbogason - 7.5m - 137 career goals from 259 appearances
(Last season: 12 goals/3 assists from 23 appearances)
+ Strengths

Marvin Ducksch - 1.75m - 128 career goals from 236 appearances
(Last season: 19 goals/12 assists from 37 appearances)
+ Strengths
Holding on to the ball
Direct free-kicks
Long shots
Key passes
Finishing
Headed attempts

Now compare that with the players we have been linked with:

English league
Salomón Rondón - 12m - 120 career goals from 353 career appearances
(Last season: 10 goals/4 assists from 40 appearances)
+ Strengths
Through balls

Andre Gray - 13.5m - 114 career goals from 275 career appearances
(Last season: 5 goals/3 assists from 33 appearances)
+ Strengths
Long shots

Please note that the date provided is from www.transfermarkt.co.uk & www.whoscored.com but you can see that for whatever reason the English based talent is vastly overinflated but of course they have Premier League experience. What do you think?

I’d go for Andrej kramaric

Andrej Kramaric is a very good player who has some experience in the PL. the only concern would be the cost. Currently valued at 15m which is too rich for us at the moment especially considering we need about 6 players.

Didn’t Leicester sell him for a bit less than that? Never really had a chance there.

World Cup coming up and can’t see him playing much instead of manduzic. So value might not balloon, might be worth a look.

Regardless, there’s plenty of players out there and I’m sure the club are working on it

We need a 20 goal a season striker "who" and how much are we prepared to spend, personally I think thats where a lot of the budget should be spent but in the premier how much is enough 5 10 15 20 million?

only 3 players not playing for top 6 clubs scored a dozen goals or more in the prem last season.. Varney..Mahrez and Wood..
so id imagine a 20 goal a season striker...80mill ?

I did say the 20 goals was a target and was been a tad hopeful

Would rather we have 3 or 4 players chipping in with goals but we can't score goals unless we have some creativity in our midfield. Last season tactics won't work in the PL. We know from past seasons (i.e Leicester and Liverpool this season) that pace and I mean PACE will strike fear into the opposition. So shouldn't we look to replicate that?

Any striker getting 10 or more goals would be a result,and as posted above - Other players chipping in with goals .
