burchy Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 For strikers I’d like us to take a punt on an up and coming 20 something. Someone like Brobbey at Ajax, Ljubicic at LASK, Junior Adamu or Karim Konate at Salzburg. We’re due some luck, ala Benteke, with a forward. Ramos at Benfica would be great but not sure we’d be able to secure him. A young one and a more established forward would be my preference though, Thuram if we could get him. We could then entertain offers for Ings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicRic Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Its natural to first hear links of players you find that are not your cup of tea but in due course you have to warm yourself to the idea and jump on board eventually, none of the current links excite me or give me any enthusiasm but ill have to force the optimism. Tricking my head into saying Kang-In be the next Son Heung-Min helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming it’s Danjuma it’s reported that Everton have offered a loan to buy for him, I wonder if we would offer the same if we are in for him? I'll swallow it because we have a top manager who obviously wants them but I am less than impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramos might be something special..... might not. It's the sort of gamble a club like ours takes if it wants to sign a world class striker, I've no idea if he is the real deal.
