Eberechi Eze

Maybe we think the striker we want will cost less than fans think

I hope so

I don’t think the priority is a striker at all, we need creative and direct wingers / forwards. We get them and i think Richie will thrive.

He will also need to stay fit, otherwise we will have to use Son (fine against a high line), Werner or Kulusevski.

None of them really fit that role.

Yeah fitness is the key, but if the club are confident Richi has put his fitness issues behind him over the summer then I'm fine with Ange wanting him to be the main man. His minutes per goal in PL had him for 25 league goals had he been fit for the season.

He will be fine as our CF if he can stay fit for majority of the season, signing a young striker with potential who can support and once acclimatised challenge Richi for the CF role would be fine IMO....

Or veliz or lankshear or scarlett if they are not loaned.

Veliz and Lankshear have had links away on loan.

I'm not sure Scarlett is the answer in this system. We also have Parrott as well, depending on what's happening with him, but they should all get a chance in pre season to see if they can step up.

My worry is that if we go big on Eze we won't get a striker and it will be Son and Richalison as our strikers.

Same here, i would love to see Eze is our shirt but for me a striker and a DM should be our priortys.
