xceleryx Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 12 hours ago, NoblyBobly said: But you agree we needed a top striker? Of course we don’t have a crystal ball on how it will work out. We have no idea what Toney would have accepted to go across town because we failed to make an offer.But the lure of the PL is great. We waffled , hoped Ossi would accept 120k and lost out on both. Not sure how you sugarcoat that. Yeah, of course. A striker and a centreback were the two big additions I wanted and it's disappointing it's not happened, but I'd rather us also get the right option over settling or overpaying in desperation. I don't believe both need to be "world class", for me it's more about complimentary profiles and qualities that fit our needs. I'm really not interested in seeing us end up in a situation we've seen countless times before, where we've paid up for reputable strikers, given them huge wages, then seen them struggle and take years to offload. I guess that's why I'm not too disappointed about missing out on either Toney or Osimhen, even either would've been nice additions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have been comfortable paying him £280k pw to keep him around? Because that's the situation we'd have been in with his contract situation, so I think not. Jackson still has more goals than him and costs half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for me Toney wouldn't be that prolific but he would have gone toe to toe with defences and created gaps for the support. Without that I still see us having trouble with the low block like many seasons prior. That being said there must have been a legit reason none of the top teams came in for him.

Yeah, I feel the same. Which also would've been fine, I'm not necessarily convinced we need a 25-30 a season striker, someone who can get 15* a season would be fine IF they're also providing other qualities that are beneficial to the team and those around them. I think it's telling we wanted a proper out and out CF given the options we were linked with. Guys that can put themselves around a little, play with their backs to goal, capable both on the ground and in the air, and also help get others involved. *This assumes Jackson continues to provide 15 or so himself.

They didn’t produce the goods and we couldn’t shift them so Sheva we loaned out, Torres was made LW and Lukaku has played more for other teams than us during his stay here.

I don’t think Torres is a good example, not sure Sheva is either. He was what, 30 when he signed? Lukaku only relevant example I forgot and he is such a rogue case you can’t base anything on him. Sancho you can assume is going to be a pain in the arse. Felix a bottlejob. There was nothing to suggest Lukaku was gonna turn out like that.

Bigpokey24 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 chatter from a friend about our dealing with Napoli Quote I was discussing the same issue with the scouting team at Chelsea today and the consensus is that Napoli didn't want to sell him.... His actually words were that Napoli were never serious in their negotiations to sell Osimhen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
