The new number 9…

[The Nomad]

Would anyone else take a punt on Thomas Muller for a year? 35yrs but still deadly.

Wouldn't be great at pressing teams but for those deep sitting defences he might be.

No

Gyokeres to Arsenal is almost done

Kane is supposedly available for £50m, I would take him but the club has a target list of strikers. You just have to trust them. Jota's unfortunate passing means the club is forced to act and buy at least a #9

Fair enough

I'm not convinced, but he's got the numbers

Id imagine we will have signed a striker by end of next week. Whilst I appreciate everything that's gone on, I don't think we can afford to stand still either

 

[Squiggles]

I was worried about Gyokeres to Arsenal, TBH and sand as much last year. They fuck around outside the box for so long they really just need a finisher to produce a team capable of winning the league. It's pretty strong elsewhere. He may well get found out at this level, but at the very least I'm expecting them to be less reliant on playing like Stoke to score a goal.

 

[Judge Jules]

Largely agree and that's very much the type of player they need to bring in, but I'd have been still more concerned if they'd gone for one of the others who've been mentioned, because IMO those others have more inherent quality.

My assumption all along has been that the race would be closer next season anyway, and I'm still confident about our own prospects, so whatevs.

 

[The Nomad]

Gyokeres is clinical. Id have taken him in a heartbeat.

 

[Fabio]

Sesko and Ekitike for us then?

Who knows. We do need a new 9 though
