Quick question for the eds, who are the current players that we are targeting? I have heard that we are looking at Will Hughes any truth in this at all, he looked amazing a few years ago but seems to have dropped off. Also seen an update that Dortmund have come in for Sandro, fairly certain he would go there as they can offer Champions league football even if the wages would be lower.
{Ed025's Note - hughes was a target a while back BT but there is no link to him at the moment, i still think we are in a good place with sandro mate but we are also looking at dolberg and dembele..

Hi ed, is Dolberg and Dembele backup options if we don't sign Sandro?
{Ed025's Note - not as i see it BT, losing kone as well as lukaku means we need at least 2 new strikers mate..
21 Jun 2017 11:53:50
We take all three please.
{Ed025's Note - amen to that dick..

Personally, I would swerve Dolberg, he is too slow. Skilful yes, but we need pace up top and throughout the team.

Clearly not watched him enough then. He has pace, especially given his size.
We need strikers to cover all aspects of play. So will need more than one.
There are limitations to the games of most of the strikers we will be linked with, as the strikers who tick all the boxes are out of our reach or at a champions league side.
Dolberg and Sandro are more than adequate signings and with a combined age of 40, lots of room for progressio.

Don't remember Lineker being quick, or shearer being like a bullet out of a gun or even Sheringham managing to beat a tortoise in a sprint, but they scored goals because they knew where to be and when. Dolberg obviously knows where to be and remember he already has an understanding with Klaasen. If Sandro signs I'm sure he would be buzzing around the whole front line, opening up spaces, dragging defenders out of position, so Klassen and others would get in the box. Dolberg could greatly benefit from that.

Been plenty of slow strikers who have been top class. If he has clever movement, can hold the ball up too bring the pacy players in and knows where the goal is, I'd be happy.

Lineker was lightening quick but we won our two league titles without his pace, there is more to leading the line than pace.

Dolberg, Sandro and Dembele? Effing dream team that like. Those three in with the big lump out. Christmas would have come VERY early! If only eh?
