What young striker would you want?

[IRO1977]

Josh King for me. The kid is gonna be a star

He may well turn out a great player but he's 25 and has shown nothing up to this season so it's a gamble to say the least, especially for those of us who remember Michael Rickets having a stormer of a season at Bolton in the early 2000's before someone swapped his legs back for 2 left feet

Edit - looking at his wiki page, i suspect whoever wrote it may not have been entirely impartial;
Leeds United[edit]
In June 2004, he signed for Championship side Leeds United on a free transfer. Ricketts impressed with his mad skills, but failed to score in 25 league appearances due to the incompetence of his teammates, he did manage a solitary goal in the League Cup against Swindon Town.[7]

Any one of Weah, Van Basten, Baggio, Lineker, even Rush.

I think Rush's' image rights might be a problem...........

Swansea agree Abraham deal
Posted at11:51

Swansea City have agreed to sign striker Tammy Abraham on loan from Chelsea for the 2017-18 season.

The Swans have fought off competition from Newcastle and Brighton for the 19-year-old, who scored 23 goals in 40 appearances on loan at Championship side Bristol City in 2016-17.

Paperwork for the deal is expected to be completed on Wednesday, 21 June.

Abraham worked with Paul Clement when the Swans manager was a coach at Stamford Bridge.

Club chairman Huw Jenkins has said they will fight to keep Gylfi Sigurdsson, Alfie Mawson and Fernando Llorente.

New poll option needed ha Wonder if this has any repercussion on what chelsea do with striker recruitment. Honestly, it is crap what they do with youngsters, they have no intention to play them ever, they can have as good a loan as possible ... they'll still offload them and go for a name |(regardless of how passed it they are), like falcao instead.

Haha that is fair comment. May be worth another seasons scouting on this one!!!

Remember this is young striker, so this is us buying him from Chester. We have completely erased that he ever played for them lot.

Dembele has a class first touch, runs the channels well, and loves to top netting. I think he'll be a star

 

[Zatara]

Dolberg by a mile....going to be world class.

Then i'd go for Abraham because it adds to our young English international contingent coming through and sorts us out in the centre with someone who is a fighter and can score.

Next would be Dembele who i'd like to see on the right of a front 3

iheanacho would be the 4th choice.

Hearing we are in for Bom Jovem Jogador from Brazil. He's apparently a good young player.

Bom jovi? You are livin on a prayer.

Iheanacho, Dolberg, Dembele all good shouts.
Another guy I like who played with "our" Sandro is Inaki Williams.

Honestly don't know a lot about the options here truth be told.

I'd take any striker who can make the ball stick up top, yet is also clinical (e.g a young Defoe).

 

[admirschleck]

I just feel like Dembele is going to be a superstar.

This.

If we do get Ramirez, then we have three young attackers if you include DCL and Lookman, and if Rom goes this window adding another two young strikers is going to leave a very young and inexperienced set of attackers so the option is more likely to be to add some experience and age to our strike force . To answer the question though I'd take any two from three, Abrahams sadly won't be joing us . I like both Dolberg and Iheanacho both will progress to be good strikers, Dembele offers just a wee bit more in terms of experience and he'd do well for us. While Celtic won't want to sell him I think an offer around £25 mill would do it , but if there are other bidders the price would be pushed up . I'm not sure where he is contract wise bit throw in McGeady to the deal may help ..... or not.
