The Centre Forward thread

[Rafa87]

A lot of City fans are also saying they would be happy to see them go as they’re on the bench not getting much time, they may well come here, get regular starts and minutes and actually start showing that they are quality.

Fine with us!

I wouldn’t worry what City fans say tbh.

City fans can they they aren't good enough for them and they might well be right. But not good enough for City doesn't mean they aren't an improvement upon what we have currently.

Marmoush has a good shot on him, something we've missed since Sonny departed. If he can bang in 10 from outside the area this season that would be a big positive.

But we have much more recent record of winning a trophy

Didn’t they win a league cup and an FA cup under Ten Hag? I swear that was only 2-3 ago?

Ah right, yea my post wasn’t super clear I guess. I was saying that some of the names being mentioned to come in and wanted by fans are no better than what we’ve got.

I think it was Raziel mentioning someone wanted a 1 in 5 striker and I was sharing those stats of Richy and Solanke to show their stats were better.

Because a lot of the names may only be marginally better. That’s what I was alluding to with my consecutive 17th comment. Yes it’s good that we’re looking to spend our way out of trouble, we’re just not shopping for the same players as Arsenal or Emirates Marketing Project. We’re trying to build our way back up.

Yeah
So not as recent as our cup win vs them

£40m for a 31YO? That's an expensive 12 month stop gap

Everyone is ultimately a stop-gap. If we get two successful seasons out of him that would be money well spent.

Not being good enough to displace Haaland is not a slight on anyone not named Kane or Mbappe.
