Lukakus successor

I'm actually excited to see who we bring in. Part of me is just glad to know everyone at Everton wants to be there once Lukaku sods off, like Stones as good as he is you get the feeling he does the dressing room no good.

Batshuyai/Benteke hungry to prove a few doubters wrong and someone like Dolberg/Dembele with high potential although a risk coming in as a front 2 and the feel good factor will be there for next season, especially if we get EL.

Just really hope we get a siege mentality now and finish the season strong, beat hull, do the kopites at the pit and hopefully finish above Utd in 6th.
 
He does seem to favour a big strong player upfront but aside from being fantastic in the air, Giroud is woeful and is no way suited to Koemans pressing style. Never seen the lad at Feyenoord.

Seen the lad at Ajax though and we shpuld take a chance on him, along with Kluivert who looks special.
I'm not sure on the Ajax kid. He's pacey for sure. But PL defenders have that in spades (apart from ours, of course!), but I dont think he;s physical enough from the few bits and pieces I've seen. Not a Koeman type, imo.

He's only 19 so has plenty of time to work on his physique but has everything about him, very good touch, gets different types of goals and is very good in the air. Once these types of prospects develop fully we dot have much chance of signing them.

We could do worse than follow the Dortmund model of getting them young, giving them first team football and developing them.

Yes, I'm always a bit iffy about Dutch strikers these days. You either get a world beater or a dud.

What do you make of Dembele Dave? Think he's the real deal myself something like 16 in 24 for Celtic and 4 in 4 for France under 21's at age 20. Certainly worth a punt at £25 million in todays market.

Batshuyai I keep banging on about but he really is quality and West Ham are said to be after him, we would be daft to not show an interest.

Hard to tell. He;'s in an ale house league but seems to do the business against very good teams in Europe.

Too risky, imo.

Considering Koeman took the risk on Van Dijk makes me think he might do the same considering all 3 of Rom, Niasse and Kone are out the door in the summer, add the EL and I'll be shocked if we don't bring in 3 centre forwards.

Would cost plenty more than £25m mate.

For all the talk of of £40 Million no chance Celtic can hold out for anywhere near that imo. £25-30 million tops which is massive money for a SPL club. Van Dijk and Wanayama all went for around £10-12 million and both were as highly rated as Dembele is.
