This new striker....

Rumours it could be Higuain, with agger and cash going the other way.

Never been convinced, although his stats suggest otherwise.
 
Enigmatic tweets suggest it might be Icardi...



if it's icardi then it will be the first time we've ever signed a player who i hope breaks both his legs in his first game for us .
 
Could be Icardi but that surley isnt a big name signing that we've planned all summer.
 
We must get a big name striker to be honest I can't believe Brendan hasn't yet! It would've been the first thing I'd have done once Suarez left. Targets in mind would be and in this order - REUS FALCAO CAVANI. After that there's the likes of Bony who are good but not in the bracket of the previous 3. Reus would be the dream signing he'd be incredible just behind Studge in the hole. I dream of one day seeing Reus and Studge do "the dance" at the old toilet as well of course haha.

Totally convinced. One of the best goal scorers in Europe (goals per game) and that is exactly what we need.
 
Borini had better stats in Italy than Icardi. He can also play across the front line.

I usually agree with you mate, but not on this one :)

In total Borini has 28 goals in 106 games. Icardi has 20 goals in 55 games.

Borini had 9 goals in 20 starts and 4 sub apps for Roma 11/12 (Roma finished 7th) A goal every 186,66 mins

Icardi had 9 goals in 12 starts and 10 sub apps for Inter. 13/14 (Inter finished 7th) A goal every 152,11 mins

Icardi had 10 goals in 24 starts and 7 sub apps for Sampdoria. 12/13 (Sampdoria finished 14th)
Thats 19 goals in 36 starts at the age of 21.

Potential wise Icardi can be a superstar. Borini will never be that. I dont really care if Borini can play out wide. I want a good striker. Wheter or not thats Icardi I dont know, but he's a much better fit than Borini. And has better stats...
 
I think Icardi would do well for us, hes a decent finisher, good in the air, strong build and comfortable with the ball. If its a straight choice between him and Bony Id choose Icardi
 
Borini scored in the cup as well.

I have no idea who Icardi is! Never heard of him until last week!

I would also prefer a striker who is good at being a striker.
 
I reckon Higuain.

Get him, that Lazio kid (with Borini out) and Moreno in and that's a brilliant window
 
Keita wont happen according to the Italian journos. The Lazio president wont sell unless they get 30 mill.
We have apparantly been scouting him for 2 years.


So 20M should be a done deal then. Don't think they'd refuse that number, especially for a 19YO with such little first team experience.

Would be very surprised if we got Higuain, and not convinced he's the player we should be going for.

Not sure on Icardi.
 
We've signed Higuain... wikipedia said so:

On August 9th, Gonzalo Higuain travelled to Melwood to undergo a medical in Liverpool ahead of a 40 million euro move from Napoli. Gonzalo thanked the Napoli fans for their support and stated that "It is time to move on...". The talisman is to be unveiled on the 10th August in front of the Anfield crowd before their pre-season game kicks off against Borussia Dortmund.
