Only 2 on that list match how Koeman likes his striker to play and that's Giroud and Benteke.

Target men capable of holding up the ball, bringing others in to the game and bagging 11+ goals a season.

Icardi is the best shout in overall ability as a lone forward, been doing it for years now with Inter but i just don't see it happening despite Inter being out of Europe, he's the type you would expect interest in him but no one seems to ever bid which suggests Inter are pricing him out of a move or he's coming with serious baggage.

Batshuayi, Dembele, Dolberg yet to prove anything in England so too big a gamble at the prices needed.

Vardy workhorse but no thanks.

Strurridge, nah.

Martial, Berardi more suited to being wide forwards, terrible options for a Koeman set up but good for the wider roles supporting a target man.

Long story short, Giroud best option for the time being, wouldn't have minded us taking a look at Sebastien Haller as a younger 2nd option but moved to Frankfurt earlier this summer.

I think we missed a trick with Haller too.
 
We haven't had a proper goal-hanger for a while. Im not sure he's fit, but was Charlie Austin a Koeman signing at Saints? A squad player option perhaps?
 

Just reading the Echo, their shouts for Lukaku's replacement:

Belotti (Torino)
Gray (Burnley)
Batshuayi (Chelsea)
Jorgensen (Feyenoord)
Giroud (Arsenal)
Dembele (Celtic)
Modeste (Koln)

Thoughts?

That's literally exactly what Lukaku was.

CHARLIE AUSTIN OHG MY GOD
