Situation vacant: Everton striker

[originalgreaserbob]

I'm sure it was an accident and you're probably terribly embarrassed about it, but you seem to have forgotten to include Bas Dost.

Benteke?? SWERVE!!

You're right Koeman will be going for a target man , Dolberg doesnt fit that mould.
Icardi was close to quiting Inter not long ago , if there was even a small percentage of a chance him coming here I would be busting the bank to do it.....fantastic player.

Dolberg is a target man...in the sense that you can boot the ball at him, he will control it and either lay it off or turn.

Buy the best one. Simples.

Dolberg is a real talent but he is far from the type of target man Koeman & Walsh will be looking at.
It will be a big physical presence ie Dzeko Benteke or Giroud type of player.
Dolberg reminds me of Bergkamp and would love to see us sign him but he certainly is no target man.

So then, we need a pacey finisher with good distribution skills who is not lazy. Or a target man with a meaty (insert nationality here) forehead.

Or both.

At a proper price. Forget that, we're loaded now. Time to review lots of YouTube game excerpts set to crap dance music to make myself an internet expert. In the lingo of my once upon a time sales biz, EFC is "ready to buy." Another day without a signing and I may implode.

Most say he's a mix of Bergkamp and Van Basten.

If you define a target man as a cumbersome lump up front like the 3 mentioned then i'd agree. For me, i would say a target man needs to control the ball, lay it off/turn and run at the opposition.

I wouldn't pigeon hole him into a category though.

Who will win Ballon first Zatmania, Dolberg, Mbappe or Ryan Ledson.

Think you just nailed it.
Dolberg cant be "pigeon holed"
So he isnt a "target man"
Cracking player tho.

Theres thinking big and then theres just not thinking.

There's thinking big and there's being too afraid to think big. Need to move away from the lil ol Everton mindset.

I will move away from the lil ol Everton mindset when the club isnt lil ol Everton.

Six pages and I feel like I have leafed through a Volvo car brochure - just not seeing anything that excites me!

Anyone else reckon Arnautovic could do a decent job as a target man?

He's 6ft 3 inches tall.

That's quite tall.

He has a man bun. FC Sexy doesn't do man buns.

Becca, Willian Jose, Das Bost, Martial, Modeste, to name a few more.

Timo Warner anyone? Aren't we loaded?
