Just imagine; if Nketiah had had the same career path as Ivan Toney till the age of 26/27, people would NOW be demanding we buy him for a hundred million quid.
Big clubs kill young strikers. Or sell them.

Didn’t Chelsea just try that with Broja ? Oh how we laughed as their demands slid from £50m to essentially driving him to Fulham in a chauffeured car for a free loan.

You're probably right, of course. Unfortunately, Pep sold everybody his pup called tiki-taka, and everyone bought it, impoverishing the game as a result. All the while enriching himself with an array of unrivaled, world class goalscoring talent.Well someone has to
Blast him.

And then he went and bought himself an old school centre forward
Should we all buy one now? Where is Niall Quinn when you need him?

Indeed. Paul Mariner (RIP) and Alan Smith too.And then he went and bought himself an old school centre forward

May have said this before but, sadly, strikers are a solution for which we have forgotten (or cleverly circumvented, depending on your view) the problem. Suffice to say the only way we throw a hundred million pounds at one now is if we don't win
anything this season. Or if we do.
Once upon a time, such individuals were an integral part of any squad-building project, like a competent goalkeeper and a fist-pumping captain. Nowadays, the less you need one (City, for instance), the more likely you are to get one. And vice versa (us)

Oh, I think it is the last thing we need. Some clod-hopping ego maniac throwing his arms in the air and pointing every time he makes the wrong run or is standing offside.Indeed. Paul Mariner (RIP) and Alan Smith too.

We just need a bit more of everything else. And a midfield *******. Declan Rice is a nice guy, so we need (and can afford to have) a total arsehole alongside him.
