Any opinion on Divock Origi? Being allowed to go  so could he solve our upfront problem?

Going to Milan I think

Which album is that on?

Not any better than what we’ve currently got.

We are linked with the young scottish striker, Wilson, and also the west ham lad, Perkins.  We have Cam coming though.  It almost feels as though we might bring in, maybe not specifically, a Suarez to fill the gaps for a year or two until we bring our youngsters through?

West Ham fans seem to think he's their best young prospect

Think Gerrard has 3 decisions to make striker wise 1) is he happy with Ings & Watkins as his main strikers 2) does he want a different option ie a striker with a bit of height who can actually control and hold up the ball 3) what to do with Archer & Davis - suspect will push to sell Davis bit maybe Archer will get a chance as 3rd choice striker, particularly with 5 subs he should get game time.

Personally I wouldnt be averse to selling/changing one of Ings or Watkins if an improvement is out there…not Suarez but if an Isak etc was available & seen as an improvement then why not

There’s no way in the world we will sell watkins and keep ings. It’s a no brainer there, based on age and ability only 1 of those 2 remains if we are selling. If Ings goes it’s to bring in another box ready striker. Watkins has far too much potential to discard him at this point he will have one more season to prove himself.

Leeds and Spurs are meant to be rivalling us for Sonny Perkins (18) (West Ham striker). Rory Wilson (16) and Ewan Simpson (15) are expected to sign for us.

You can't have enough talent on the books.

If we go with Ings and Watkins we will end up in a similar position to this season.

I think they'll both do well this season. Ings has been around long enough to get it and Watkins has the desire and hunger that he's always had. Having said that, after last season neither of them could have complaints about someone new coming in.

That's almost suggesting that we should be relying solely on our strikers. They all need to chip in.

If Zinchenko is available from City then we should be all over that move. Wants to play CM like he does for his country and can also cover Digne if needed

Agree Vinnie.

Zinchenko looks more than comfortable playing in midfield for Ukraine, especially what I saw of him against Scotland.

I’d be wary about taking anyone from Man City (other than the obvious candidates). Their squad players like Zinchenko, Ake etc are all world beaters………….in that team.
It might be a different matter when they are playing for teams in the real world.

Zinchenko is a superb player who would have much more appealing options than us.

Wolves, Arsenal, Everton, West Ham and Leicester apparently.
