Could be a solid and cheap option alongside a younger striker if we manage to sell Martial.Tweet

Which of those three fits bestMehdi Taremi + Højlund/Ramos/Muani would be ideal.
My preference is Ramos he's 1 year older than Højlund who is overrated by our fanbase. Muani is good too but he's going PSG apparently.Which of those three fits best
Osimhen went to Napoli from Lille reports are they will go back for David when Osimhen moves on.Re: Jonathan David,
I watched Canada-Panama, Panama are a fairly solid defensive side for Concacaf.
He really does look good in the role Weghorst tried to play for us. Presses really hard, but seems to do so in a coherent way with the rest of the team. His goal was about pace in behind and he should have had another tap-in or 2 but the balls weren't squared. Good assist to Davies on the 2nd goal. Could see him working well with Rashford with Rashford high up the pitch on the left and David sort of a false 9 type. He just does the simple things quite well. Defends, moves the ball really quickly to teammates and scores his goals by being faster than CBs over 20-30 yards and running down the middle to finish off attacks unlike a Martial. He's not the sort of player who looks special most of the time, but his goal record is pretty great for his age (clubs and country) and he completes his passes (97th percentile among forwards, 82nd in progressive passes).
Cons are that he's not good in the air and he's not as silky as a false 9 type like a Firmino (he's stocky and faster over longer differences), and there's so little room to navigate in that part of the pitch that we've seen a lot of players struggle in that role in the Prem. But if we're signing a young target/last shoulder of the defence type like Hoijlund, he makes a ton of sense as the more experienced #9 next to him with Rashford and Antony/Amad either side of him.
Wish we could splash it all on Osimhen,however unfortunately there are too many other issues in first XI and squadOsimhen went to Napoli from Lille reports are they will go back for David when Osimhen moves on.

just watched all his goals and assists this season. Mostly penalties or tap ins.Could be a solid and cheap option alongside a younger striker if we manage to sell Martial.Tweet

Good Luck getting Cheap deal from Villa for Watkins and the point about him being big Success I have my doubts he is what he is at the moment decent mid tier striker good enough to be rotation option but nothing more for a big Club .Tweet

Out of those options, I think Watkins would be the cheapest alternative that would actually be a big success for us.
Out of the big names outside of the PL Osimhen would still be my first choice but it doesn't seem that we have the money it would take this summer.
Not convinced with either Ramos or Hojlund for the money being quoted.
We managed to get a top scoring striker in from this list back when the thread started. Let's hope we can replicate this in the summer!Some of Europe's top scorers this season:
Robert Lewandowski (Bayern München, GER)
Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus, ITA)
André Silva (Frankfurt, GER)
Erling Haaland (Dortmund, GER)
Lionel Messi (Barcelona, ESP)
Romelu Lukaku (Inter, ITA)
Kylian Mbappé (Paris, FRA)
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool, ENG)
Luis Suárez (Atlético, ESP)
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United, ENG)
Harry Kane (Tottenham, ENG)
Gerard Moreno (Villarreal, ESP)
Luis Muriel (Atalanta, ITA)
Wout Weghorst (Wolfsburg, GER)
Other than Haaland, any of them viable CF targets for a top club this summer?
They'll have to change their attack completely. I haven't seen much of Raspadori but he seems not completely dissimilar to David so maybe that's their longer term plan anyways.Osimhen went to Napoli from Lille reports are they will go back for David when Osimhen moves on.
So Chelsea have activated the release clause and now they are discussing the installment how does it even make sense , couldn't they negotiate it with option of paying the release clause in case Villareal doesn't budge as it was reported by Ornestein yesterday .This guys off the market now at least it seemsTweet

Well even though that isn’t true - latest Athletic article says he is off the table regardlessOnly one player able to get Man United back where we belong and that is Kylian Mbappé
We just do not have the pull power to attract those players any more sadly...Well even though that isn’t true - latest Athletic article says he is off the table regardless
Yeah I have no idea how we got that Garnacho fella to agree a contract with us…We just do not have the pull power to attract those players any more sadly...
A 17 year old CR7 would not sign for us in 2023
If he was free then sure, I'd talk myself into him as a goalscorer off the bench and maybe he starts for a few months until Garnacho or Hoijlund wins the non-Rashford attacking spot that isn't Antony's on the right (or Amad or Sancho's, but likely Antony's), but paying a big fee for him would be nuts.If our striker signing is Watkins I think I'm zoning out for the season
Talk about underwhelming it would be an absolute joke
Seems like Ramos is the better current player and all-around player, but Hoijlund has that extra bit of potential due to some extra pace, though I've only seen the Portuguese and not the Dane.My preference is Ramos he's 1 year older than Højlund who is overrated by our fanbase. Muani is good too but he's going PSG apparently.
Watkins has 2 years left on his contract. Unfortuntely Villa are on a upward curve at the moment and i dont think he'd any cheaper than than what Atalanta now want for their young striker (£80mil odd).Tweet

Would not be against this at all. Got an unbelievable record for Serbia and Fulham. Absolute handful in the box. Him and a Hojlund, Ramos type signing would not be a catastrophic windowMitrovic
Dreary me , so you obviously haven't seen what happened the poor lad then ?Anyone following Tammy Abraham? Cheaper than Osimhen but not as prolific.
Done his ACL on the last day of the season and will be out for a long time.Anyone following Tammy Abraham? Cheaper than Osimhen but not as prolific.
Aren’t we meant to be looking for two strikers with 1 needs to be experienced? Can’t remember who reported it nowTweet
