International tournaments aren't necessarily a great way to judge players but he was absolutely useless at the WC.

I don't think he's good enough to take us to the next level but he's a massive upgrade on Martial and Weghorst.
His performances in the World Cup has given him a bad reputation, but he'a a good player.

Is he a striker capable of leading the line on his own, never really been the case at Inter has it?

He's better playing alongside a physical striker which doesn't suit Ten Hag's system or our players.

I’m ok with it if he’s backup
for Kane. No way should he be our number 1 target

He looks like the top class version of Weghorst. Can make progressive passes and has great defensive work.

He needs a partner up with him. He's kinda average on his own

Even for 20mil, I think we are still not sure if it makes any sense.

Up to 60 mil fee, then I would take him. Over than then no thanks. Definitely not 100mil forward.

No thanks. Has his qualities, but would be infuriating too.

Tevez-lite. Would be interesting to see him with us, but hoping we get someone better.

Without a doubt, but is it enough to challenge for the title? Perhaps not - so it might be a good idea to look for someone more prolific

Would rather Olly Watkins.

I'm assuming this would be for a back up role?

They both fall in to that 'not first choice standard but too pricey for the bench' bracket, I'd think.

I don't think so either. To be honest, I think the only striker that will make us challenge for the title is Kane. I'd get him in and buy Evan Ferguson in a year or two.

He was one of the worst players at the WC which is particularly impressive when your team wins it.

I remember him dominating Barcelona earlier this season but that's the only time I've seen him look good. I would stay far away from him.
