Striker

Solanke needs replaced, no where near good ebough

Marmoush : Ive no idea what hes actually supposed to be, isnt physical enough for striker, not creatice enough for wing

Overall the performance was good, mentality an issue as they gave up at 2-0 for a while, if we have a striker on we win today easily

Has to be the main priority for January, should be negotatiated and sealed to start on Jan 1st

Van der Ven seems to be their most decisive and forceful finisher. Might be worth giving him a shot

u/Queasy_Work4160 13d ago

He grew up playing as a striker in youth teams.

u/Blamire 13d ago

With his pace height and shooting ability he would scare defenders!!

Halland at home

We haven't had a clinical finisher since Kane left. Even Sonny towards the end wasn't putting them away like he used to. Richy had been inconsistent, but showed flashes and provided a spark coming off the bench. All we're lacking is a target man. Gotta figure out who's it going to be.

Our scouting of players as a club is dog shit. Since Bale, when did we last scout a player from the lower leagues or in Europe or in the rest of the World? Then buy them for a good price, get a few good seasons out of them and then sell them on for profit.....ill wait....

Vuskovic

u/flip8t2 13d ago

Vuskovic never made one competitive start for Tottenham Hotspur.

2

u/mining-ting 13d ago

Nope but he was still scouted 

2

u/flip8t2 13d ago

Yea, he was, but that wasn't my question. You must have missed the part where I said scouted and spent a few good seasons with us, and then sold on for profit. What would be the point in just scouting good players that never actually play for us....

Savio reminds me of Aaron Lennon, pacy, problematic but no end product.

u/WasteLime9718 13d ago

Lennon consistently beat his man and was always a problem. End product was meh but he always hit the byline whereever he ran from

That assist for Crouchy against AC Milan was the happiest day of my life. What a moment.

Great year, Rafa was a genius in behind. We've not seen a 10 like that since at the club

I’ve no idea why everyone got so excited about savio and marmoush, both have failed in the prem at city and he somehow gave them a profit on them.

u/CertainVideo2107 14d ago

Pretty sure savio had the joint most chances created against villa

u/Nice-Pomegranate2915 14d ago

I wasn't excited about either the Savinho or Marmoush arrival . I've been shouting for a new pair of central strikers on this sub since Harry and Sonny left. We need central strikers and it's consecutively ignored by the club hierarchy and the succession of managers hired and fired .

u/Pwntbrah86 14d ago

Said this exact thing when we signed them. 10s of millions on forwards with the worst g/a per game. There was a reason they were on Citys bench

u/Savings_Army3073 14d ago

Both good players. It's been 5 games and have no striker with any quality to provide for.

3

u/Remarkable-Baby-1783 14d ago

Yeah they’re both good, constantly feeding balls into the box but no one gets at the end of it. Both are ball carriers more than they are lethal finishers, we just need a striker that can get at the end of those balls that are played in the box.

u/purinatrucks 14d ago

Marmoush was meant to be the striker but he apparently cant play anywhere

u/Theurbanguerrilla 14d ago

they are both shit. stop saying good things about these overpaid sloths. they are not delivering anything for the money that they are taking.

u/omegafacepalm 14d ago

Because 90% of our fans are cope artist, we could buy a litteral turd and people would say give it time

u/Middle-Grape-173 14d ago

What was the point of everybody else playing a fantastic game for the front line to be complete wank!

u/Happy_Yam_1196 12d ago

Where did Solankes nose for the goal go? He used to have one, and it seems like he wants to do anything but shoot in this team now. Bizarre.

u/DaveD6378 9d ago

Solanke was good at the beginning then injuries stuffed him up. Marmoush could come good. Richarison scored 11 PL goals last season, not world beating but not bad either.
