No Loic, what next?

[barrymac20]

What the fuck....surely we would've known about this issue before hand. Seen comments somewhere that we pulled out because we couldn't offload Borini

 

[hmmmmm1]

Luis Muriel hopefully

 

[Whirly]

Wonder if this means Borini stays now.

Sounds like Origi is still going to spend the season at Lille, so we need another option in.

 

[rurikbird]

Strikers we've been linked with so far:

Strikers:
Rickie Lambert signed
Divock Origi CF/LW, 19 (Lille, €10-12M deal done, medical pending, player will be loaned to Lille for 1 more season)

[i_rushie]

Think it was Modo who said Firmino was linked too.

 

[cloggypop]

I haven't seen any links for at least half of them.

 

[rurikbird]

Maybe Heung-Min Son would be a good bet in the same price range as Remy (and offering similar qualities). Or Lacazette.

 

[rurikbird]

Think it was Modo who said Firmino was linked too.

Yes, but Firmino is not really a centre-forward.

Cloggy, every one of these name was linked to us at some point by a website more reputable than caughtoffside.

 

[cloggypop]

Hope it was at least the Surrey Mirror.

 

[Whirly]

Rodrigo has gone on loan to Valencia, so he's off the list.

 

[kingjulian]

Maybe Heung-Min Son would be a good bet in the same price range as Remy (and offering similar qualities). Or Lacazette.

Think you wrote a long post on the korean dude earlier....i liked what i read then, but know nothing about him.

Abel Hernandez any good?

 

[737Max]

cheeky bid for Falcao?

 

[ILD]

I wonder will Falcao end up at Madrid soon replacing Benzema?

 

[red_maradona]

On reflection it has to be draxler-
- fits FSG profile
- statement of intent
- flexible positioning
- we need to burn some cash

on reflection I like your reflection

 

[StevieM]

Cavani, surely?

 

[Whirly]

Draxler, Reus, Benzema are the dream options, but I'd be surprised if any of those happened. Especially now that Real have sold Morata to Juve.

Bony is okay. Doumbia might be worth looking at.

Not a whole lot of other great options unless we make something happen. Otherwise it'll be more quality that requires development like Lacazette.

 

[Buddha]

It'll be Lacazette.

That said, I've still a hunch that Cavani might wind his way to Anfield for 30-35m

 

[Halmeister]

I think it will be Bony or nobody.

 

[Hansern]

Probable: Bony or Lacazette

Maybe if PSG sign Di Maria: Cavani

 

[Hansern]

@DavidZollerNBC: #LFC fans in the stadium disappointed to hear about Remy but the news surrounding Alexandre Lacazette should raise a smile or 2

Apparantly now top of our wanted list

 

[aquaman4]

Benteke or Bony are proven and better options

 

[gene hughes]

Benteke is a proven wanker though.

 

[cloggypop]

Benteke is a proven wanker though.

That was Ashley Young

 

[Hansern]

 

[Red Mullet]

Someone with a name like Lazar so the punning can continue.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Best youtube clip of any striker realistically linked with us so far.

He looks like he'll fit in v well in our system.

Plus I can say 'Alex-cazam' when he scores. And he has a 'z' in his name. What's not to like ??

 

[dmishra]

Lacazette or Firmino please.

And then the bloody marquee, whoever he is!

 

[dmishra]

Or if we can somehow pry Aubameyang from Dortmund, I'd prefer him to Bony.

 

[Ryan]

I haven't a fucking clue who we'll go for or even who we should go for, but if Brodge decides Sturridge and Lambert are enough to enter the season with then I'll be furious.

We need another top class forward.
