Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

[Kano]

Morata came on for last ten minutes of Italian cup final and scored a decent goal and most likely the winner. Given how we spend as a club, I'm not sure I'd want us to spend that much on a player based on potential.

It's a new day

We have to cuz someone else will reap

Also, 50-60 million today is less than what 30 million was even 10 years ago in football economics.

We may have lost out on Martial because of that.

here's the goal for anyone else

I think we have to look at who is available and the list of available strikers is pretty short right now. Lacazette/Icardi/Higuain/Morata

Lacazzette would cost £30m+

Icardi near £25m

Higuain £40m (annoyingly, should've signed him 3 years ago )

Morata is ALOT but we might just have to get him. He doesn't have that much pace though

I'd also take a punt on the Janssen guy from AZ Alkmaar

Nice the way he reads the line all the way down the pitch while keeping himself available for the pass the entire time. Our lump would do the opposite, cling to the defender the whole way down the pitch and then leap offside at the critical moment.

He has RVP like speed but his movement is excellent

I think at nearly every other big club that makes sense but under our current set-up with the manager and the owner, I don't think it does.

Unfortunately you are probably right.

Yeah, I wouldn't rule Janssen out, just because of his relatively quick rise and lack of top flight experience - the two top scorers in the Prem this year were a promoted academy player, who'd been farmed out on 4 loans before he got his first team chance, an a former non-league player, so

What about Milik at Ajax? We were linked with him a few months back - anyone know if he's any good?

Cheeky bid for Gabriel Barbossa maybe? Or is he destined for bigger things if he leaves Santos?

Plus I'm sure there's the usual string of forwards that I've never heard of from France, Portugal, Switzerland and other random leagues...

[Marc Overmars]

Morata linked again.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Do we want to spend 30 million+ on a guy behind Dybala and Mandzukic?
