Our new striker ?

Postby waggera » Sat Jun 16, 2018 1:44 pm

Watching Argentina play Iceland now and wondering if Finnbogason could well be our new striker? He has a good record this past season in the Netherlands league.

Anyone any ideas on how much he would cost.

I seem to recall we were talking about signing him about a year ago?

He does seem to be a name that keeps cropping up. I suppose it depends on amount of contract left etc but imho we’d be looking at £12-15M.

‘Depends on contract left etc’ means I didn’t know his age. The commentator said he’s scored goals wherever he’s been so I was basing it on that and the fact he’s an international. I didn’t have time to ‘Wiki’ him.

I recommended this striker back on Twitter and Facebook weeks ago and I personally think he would be a great addition to our squad. With a decent scoring record 137 career goals from 259 career appearances, he would be an upgrade. This only issue would be how much he would cost. Thanks to www.transfermarkt.com he valued at 10m with his current contract due to end in 2020. Is this too rich for us?

Maybe my opinion on what he’d cost weren’t that far off after all.

I think we can all agree that we need to spend a fair bit to bring in better than we have currently have. No disrespect to Zohore but his return of 58 career goals from 201 career appearances isn't setting the world alight.

Other strikers we can have a look at...

Nils Petersen 12m - 159 career goals 359 career appearances
Danny Ings Loan maybe? - 60 career goals 197 career appearances

Danny ings stats are comparable to Zahore. He has been injured forever and not the type of strong striker we need to lead the line...

Regardless of age (29 isn’t that old) his scoring record is pretty good - what would u value him at?

I’ve no idea what he’s worth mate but I know that City wouldn’t pay up to 15 million for a player that’s 30 next birthday with little to no sell on value.
