The Centre Forward thread

Lol! Think I've seen him quite a bit more than you. Nowhere near good enough. The amount of glorious chances he misses, this forum would melt within 3 weeks! No one who support Glimt are bothered about him leaving, because we're sure they can find someone much better.

Why the lol?
Saw him a number of times over the last 2 years and looks a capable forward. His most recent stats, not too shabby.
I only said he may have been worth a punt at £11m which is small change compared to the £50m plus banded around for average forwards.Screenshot_20260810_094527_Google.jpg

When you get served up 5-6 glorious chances every game, you should put some of them in the net. Problem was that he usually missed 5 or 6 before eventually scoring. They were lucky that he was pretty effective in the CL, except missing 2 or 3 penalties. In the long run though his output seems decent, his conversion rate has been pretty bad, and a long way off their previous strikers, like Boniface, Kasper Junker and Faris Moumbagna
 
I know there are three weeks left until the window shuts but it's quite concerning that we could be going into Brentford with a front 3 of Tel, Richy, Moore, it's absolutely not good enough

I'm sure they are trying right now but it's frustrating especially with how the early window was which was incredible work

Also with Udogie injured again, if we sell Spence it's a total joke of a decision by the club
 
I'd like us to go for Ismaila Sarr. 6 foot, lightning quick, scores goals. Predominantly plays I. The right but he played upfront for Senegal and looked good.
Premier league proven too. Expect Palace would want a hefty fee though
 
My 3 ‘gettable and affordable’ centre forwards that I think would be a better fit up front for us compared to Richarlison are:

Amine Gouiri from Marseille (probably costs €35m)
Fisnik Asllani from Hoffenheim (€25m release clause)
Vitor Roque from Palmeiras (probably could be bought for €45m or so)

Risks with all three but I can’t really see anyone out there that we could realistically attract that would be a big improvement. Jackson is perhaps that player but he would’ve failed before he even started in many Spurs fans eyes.

I'd throw in

Christian Kofane from Leverkusen
Pio Esposito from Inter

Yea I think we got unlucky there with the injury, seems like we were in pole. Maybe could / should have got it done sooner, but imagine cash flow was the issue?

Bit of a drop off though to this guy.

If we sell Richarlison and our #9 options are Balagoun and Solanke with Gakpo/Savinho coming in. We have got better no doubt. But these are not game changing singings like Tonali and it feels like that’s what we need upfront.

He would count as homegrown for what it’s worth.

Hmm not sure about this one, seems to have had a good last season but can’t imagine he was our first choice option there?

Yeah, he's really not very good. Only 1 in 3 in the farmers' league. Only 3 in a whole season in the Championship. He's nowhere near top half EPL level

He's a super presser. But technically he's awful, he can't hold the ball up and he's not much in front of goal.

Balogun isn't fit to lace Richy's laces. That would be a significant downgrade.
