Jamie Vardy - BBC Sport - Vardy set to reject Arsenal

[Marc Overmars]

Apparently we are looking at Javier Hernandez (Chicarito), he's now at Bayer Leverkusen, did very well last season. I think he's a good player but very much falls into the 2nd tier/not quite good enough to bring us up a level or two category.

In fairness he always seemed to deliver when given chances at United, scored a lot of important goals for them as well. He's a pretty natural finisher and we could do a lot worse.

Aye, I'm not against us signing him, kind of an alternative to Vardy, quite similar in style IMO.

In fairness the Euros has shown there is a real lack of quality strikers in Europe at the moment. As someone else mentioned maybe looking further afield is our best bet.

Or work around the problem? If there's no elite-level striker out there for us, then let's make sure we at least secure a very good / reliable goal-scorer (or maybe gamble on a younger player with the potential to be more) and then focus on adding some extra world-class to the attack in other areas, like RW?

Griezmann signs new deal with Ateltico.

We should make an offer.

He hadn't signed a contract before today, so yes we should have, as usual we're a slow as a barge and the boat has now sailed......

I agree, though I reckon Wenger has Ramsey/Wilshere pencilled in for RW, he won't give up on either of them now. We're pretty stacked for wide options, though outside of Alexis & at a push Iwobi, none of them are really good enough to take us up a level.

Wenger is going to have to spend a substantial amount of money to upgrade our attack if he wants an instant upgrade.

He won't though we all know that, he's as cheap as they come, that's why we went for Vardy only 20 million, it was an opportunistic attempt to get someone on the cheap.

40-50m bracket he might look at, as he did for Sanchez and Ozil. All depends who is available in that bracket.

Aye, 40-50m seems to be the going rate these days for anybody half decent.

[Özim]

He's spent 33 million already, 40 - 50 million isn't going to happen now. Should have signed a top striker and then worried about the other positions afterwards instead of seemingly blowing the budget on a DM.

Aye, I don't think he will either Zim.
