The Centre Forward thread

Whoever the target is, we need to speed it up.

For someone who has followed him pre the U17 world cup .. oh well.

How would you describe Osimhen as a forward? I’ve only seen him a few times but he strikes me as very impressive.

Great all around #9. Reminds me of a Fernando Torres. Fast, Strong. His hold up play is not sensational but it’s more like it’s a 7/10 when the rest of his game is a 9/10.

Samu Aghehowa

Great feet for a big man.

Scores all types of goals.
Holds, links, quick and strong.

Definitely things he needs to work on but he's young (22).

a risk but definitely a full on number 9.

Starting to get in the Spain squad as well.

Edit: recovering from an ACL?....how rude of him not to join BEFORE rupturing it!

Has Nicholas Jackson vibes for me

I see the Bodo/Glimt striker Hogh has his first hat-trick for Celtic, maybe we should have taken a punt on him for £11m?
Scored many times in the CL too.

Why exactly are there so few top-tier strikers on the market now in comparison with twenty years ago? Is it connected with development pathways? The decline of two-up-top systems, halving demand? Something to do with Gen Z being woke, weak and woebegone?

It’s the SPL though, it’s a mix between League 2 and the National League, maybe being generous Celtic and Rangers would be League 1 quality.

CL is not though is it?
And he scored plenty in that competition as well.
For £11m in today's market it's a bit of a steal especially with the dearth of any options out there.

I thought the LWer might be worth a shout TBH, I get the difference in competition but Hauge always impresses when I see him

I won’t argue with that, I only put the Celtic game on at 1-0 so can’t comment on his first goal, the second was comical goalkeeping and the third was shocking from Kilmarnock all around

Was going to mention him.
Impressive in the games I've seen and wouldn't have minded us getting him and Hogh for £25m combined.

But he was where he should be to finish them off.
Saw enough of him against us and in the CL games to see he'd be useful, if not first choice then certainly a capable back up.

We should be all over this Endrick deal.
