He has a lot of good attributes but isn’t proven at this level
I don’t think we will go for him

Tim Sherwood
Another striker in that league looks better - Troy Parrott i think he's called. Might be worth a punt if we could get him for a decent fee?

There's a lot of duds out there at the moment - David, Giminez, the Coventry guy. There's a real dearth of talent at CF. Isak and Osimhen are the only proper elite options out there. If we arent getting one of them, we need to go the Udogie/Vicario route (someone like Leonardo at Benfica)

That part I agree with. But David for £20-30m makes sense to me. From what I know of him (which admittedly is very limited) it sounds like he'd suit Ange's style.
Gyokeres would be interesting. Toney would be the other I'd consider. Isak the dream. Other than there's not much.

Luka Modric
If by 'the Coventry guy' you mean Gyokeres? then I think you are seriously underrating him. As well as having lots of talent he is also an absolute nuisance for the opposition defence, never gives them a moments piece.
He is probably not one for us now as he will likely be too expensive but I think we missed the boat on him that summer that he left Coventry when it was abundantly clear from his performances in the Championship that he was really rather good.

Everyone always says that, the answer is better scouting. How do RB Leipzig seem to constantly sign top players - they got Openda and Sesko last summer for example. Portugese clubs seem to scout pretty well too.
Where did sesko come from? It might give you a clue.
Their whole club network seems to have great scouting, they consistently sign top young players year after year.
Agree. But it's easier if you have 4 clubs signing young players than 1. Also a good way to attract good young players. They know they'll get game time and have a path for progression.

Wouldn't be surprised if the new investment wasn't used to buy some smaller clubs. Don't know why nobody has bought scottish clubs for instance. Loans wouldn't need work permits etc...
Some cameos in the cups this season and he'll be our first choice within two years and we don't have to sign a new striker until 2040.
Have I got my expectations right?

It's not just the scouting it's the confidence in that scouting in the first place. Your scouts can identify players (ours have many over the years) you need the boldness to actually back your estimations and invest in those players early. Too often we have held back from that step, waiting rather for the player to confirm their quality by which point they've often become unobtainable.
