Benteke has had injuries this season, I'd still have him but with the achilles it's a risk and he won't be fit. Better than Lukaku though imo.

Lukaku - I'd say it would be very tough to get him considering we gave Chelsea the f-you over Modric, but I rate him highly

Remy - Loved him even before he went to QPR, apparently his wage demands were too high for us?

Bony - A realistic' target Pav, I think he's a great player, a more workharder esq Adey, and cheaper

Benteke - Can't see it personally, I think he's got eyes on an Arsenal or United imo

Prefer Lukaku against Benteke. I also think Soldado will improve, don't ask why, more of a forlorn hope maybe.

I was laughed at when I suggested Shane Long, I really like him as a striker, and a SQUAD player only, not first pick!

We need a direct replacement for Defoe imo, a small, nippy striker who's offside 90% of the time and will miss easy chances by smashing it directly at the keeper

You're always welcome to take Giroud of us.. oh and Bendtner will be available for free

I'd rather benteke over lukaku

All players have games where they look useless, like lukaku against Southampton the other week.

1, Benteke
2, Bony
3, Lukaku

What I will say is we need a Premiership experienced striker.

Ps I'd keep Adebayor

Hengy what you're saying is you want no white strikers in your team

I'd agree with those assessments pretty much.. assuming we could get Lukaku, or took the risk on Benteke's fitness I can imagine them using us a stepping stone - rather than turning us down realise that they'll likely be first choice.. Lukaku to his credit put playing for a side not in Europe over sitting on the bench at Chelsea.

What about Chronic?

Pav

I'd love Lukaku, and or Benteke but the latter is prone to being lazy!

Think Kane could do with a season loan to Fulham, Palace or somewhere like that

Na we already have one striker in Ade that moans a lot

comment by SB&S (U17757)

Michu is a good call and Adebayor might be a good shout given he is coming into his last year of contract. Lots to prove and all that. With City allegedly still picking up the bulk of his wages why not?

comment by Spurtle (U1608)

I think we only need 2 strikers, if we were to sell Ade.

Bony, Lukaku and Remy are all good choices but we are going to face competition for them I imagine, with United, Arsenal, Everton, and Chelsea all likely needing cover in attack

I wouldn't be shocked if Soldado or Adey left this season, I personally think if Tim stay's in charge he'll keep Adey as he's said before he's first pick along with Hugo

And we can keep seeing the cringy salute

comment by Spurtle (U1608)

Soldado should be kept. He needs more time. Give him a run of games where the forward play is built around him and let's see what he does.

comment by Bãlès (U3582)

I can't see Levy either giving Ade a new contract - he turned 30 this year - or letting him go on a free, I think he'll go for 8-10m.

Assuming we're keeping our best players while having a net spend of zero makes Bony seem a lot more likely.. Michu would be great although he's been injured a lot.

Kane going on loan.. not.sure unless we have 3 seniors ahead of him - league cup and Europa should give him enough games to show if he's gonna make it or not.

Is your new manager going to decide his own targets or is it going to still be Baldini?

Ideally he'll work with the manager to identify a list of targets and get the best one we can afford.

We've got a big squad now, we only need 2 or 3 so hopefully we'll be more focused on getting the right one rather than enough players to fill positions.
