2 names mentioned today by the same guy who told me we were looking at the aguero style striker towards the end of the window.

Dembele from Lyon

Morales from Rangers

He said he would be amazed if we didnt sign one or the other but aparently barring injuries we are only looking at strikers in january. Even if we sell sjm to Man United we wont be breaking the bank to replace him either.

I cant help think back to when city and Chelsea became rich and they went through the patch of signing footballing mercenaries before their league position started to attract better players and I think that's the more likely route we will be going down this winter/next summer.

Let's just hope whoever we sign keeps us up because at the moment I'm slightly worried and smith worries me a little too but I am seeing improvements in his management style

Who was the Aguero style striker being tracked out of interest or were no names mentioned?

Dembele has been tracked by Man. United and Spurs apparently so that would be a very ambitious signing, not quite sure one we can pull off just yet so the Rangers guy seems more likely. Have my reservations tbh but at least he's scored a few in the europa league for them this season.

Assume it’s been covered extensively above but I’d have Mitrivoc in a blink, even if I do hate him,
However he, once again, didn't do well in the Premier League.

If we're going down the young striker route I'd like Connelly from Brighton.

Really liked the way he scored v Spurs a few weeks back and he has a young Vardy vibe about him I reckon.

Get him, a been there experienced striker, sell Kodj and loan Davis out and that's then a balanced strikerforce with Wes continuing to have his ups and downs from the subs bench.

I quite like Davis, but not sure how many goals he'd get.

Let's get Benteke.

Not sure about Benteke, but feel he would suit our style. I'd be willing to try him on loan to see if the magic comes back. Not sure Palace would be up for that if there's still a realistic chance that they could go down come January.

I can't see Palace being in any danger of going down at any point in the season. I can see them having a problem subsidising Benteke's wages to potentially help us stay up. The word 'potentially' is doing a lot of heavy lifting in my previous sentence.

Wesley and Benteke would give us some forward power and presence. But if Palace were prepared to let Benteke come to us it doesn't say much about what they think of him.

Now what could be interesting is a move for one of the promising players from the Dutch top league.
It's called the Dutch eridivise.

Expecting some premier clubs to be linked including ourselves to centre forward

20 year old Donyell Malen PSV Eindhoven who is top scorer in league

Myron Boadu is 18.
13 games 9 goals
 
24 year old Belgian Nigerian Cyriel  Dessers 14 games 9 goals

And Greek forward Vangelis Pavlidis 13 games 8 goals.

Quincy promes of Ajax is a good player but be a big take to get him.
Can play wide forward and Dutch international he's joint leader scorer and one many would have heard of and seen play for Ajax or Holland.

Jermaine Defoe is still banging them in for Rangers. What about a double swoop for him and our old boy Scott Sinclair who seems to have fallen by the wayside again?

Seriously though, there must be a La Liga chap ripping it up this season on €10k a week that we could nab.

How patronising.  That means to treat in a way that is apparently kind or helpful but that betrays a feeling of superiority.

I've promised myself Cavani and someone else virtually guaranteed* Dembele so I'll be disappointed with anything less than us signing both and finishing the season as Premier League top scorers.




*vaguely suggested that we might make an unlikely bid which would have a very limited chance of success.

Benteke's stats are woeful. He has scored four league goals since August 2017. Not like he's had any bad injuries in that spell like he did for us either.

He's lost his desire imo, just happy living in London earning good money and knowing his career is going nowhere. I'd stay well clear and just remember the good times when he was here.
