If Lucho goes…

We all know where we are at with Diaz I think. He'll stay unless a significant sized bid comes in, then we'll put it to him that it's an offer we could accept if he wants to move on. I think that's about the size of it.

Personally I'd rather see us act sooner rather than later, because if he starts this season we might as well write off getting anything decent for him, but we'll still have him for another year or two, and he's a good hardworking player. So it's one of them. Go for continuity or strike while the opportunity is there to cash in and buy someone we're going to get more longevity out of.
 
i fall on the side of giving him a new contract and keeping him, i’d just like to keep the group together now. that even extends to darwin.
 
I think we pivot from going all in on Isak, to going in on a promising striker and an established striker.

Maybe a Ekitike and a Watkins, or a gyokeres and some other late 20s striker

Or we Just buy 1 striker and persist with Nunez as backup.

I wouldn't be averse to that but I do want to see what Danns is capable of.

Agreed.

Suspect Ekitike a value would have to drop a chunk for us to be interested and also to afford another striker on top. Gyokeres seems to provide the best value to goals to experience level for me. I like Sesko but I kinda don't want potential any more. Jota had nous, experience and goals. We need that.

I think we could get Ekitike for 60-70m, There's money to get someone for 50m, and that'd equal 1 Isak.

How much would Osimhen go for? Maybe if we forgo a winger and get 2 strikers (because now we definitely need 2).

Just finding that supplementary striker will be the task.

Danns will get minutes if he impresses in training. If he doesn't then he goes with the rest of the players who didn't make the cut.

As i've gotten older i'm less inclined to keep paths open for youth players. If they're good enough then they'll get minutes. Impress in training, impress if on loan, impress every minute the management team watch you.

We can't hope someone turns out good in 2 years if it costs us in the present. We're no longer a project team. We've invested heavily this summer and there will be more to come. We need to be acting like a serious team
