I think we can safely forget about Isak. Newcastle would be very, very reluctant to sell him to us unless we offer way, way over the odds. Silly money.

Said the same about Rice - but I tend to agree unless they "need" to sell I imagine they will hang on

I think there is a great deal more animosity between the clubs here, and Newcastle can at least claim to be a rival, whereas West Ham....

Very good player, although not a flawless injury record. I wouldn't be breaking the bank for him.

Good points

(I still wouldn't mind a cheeky bid for Darwin Nunez - but again no was Liverpool would sell to us)

I do think he is a decent player but his finishing is far from great. We have those players already.

Interesting - not seen anything of him at all tbf but also heard good stuff

Another 4 goals for Sweden last night....I suspect we've missed the boat. Horrible feeling he'll go to United

So we're all agreed then; we need a striker

[redgunamo]

that doesn't sound right.
How about a few more defenders?

I think we've already bought them all.

No, I don't think I agree. I would rather spend the money on some tricky winger types and save for the rest for replacing Jorginho next summer.

Strikers are old hat these days. Dinosaurs

Fair enough. I just hope the issue does not end up costing the manager his job in the next couple of years, only to have a new DoF and coach go out and splash the cash on the goalscorers we may have wanted.

I really like Mikel and his football and it would be a terrible waste.

I agree, and of course I would love a brilliant striker who can play football and score goals. I would also love to win the lottery and I am unsure which of those is more likely.

Havertz is the best we'll get. A very good and very clever all round footballer who has no principled objection to the regular scoring of goals.
