Need to do a deal , we allow those Saudis to have Richie and the other lot let us have IsaakIf true that would explain why we have been so quiet because Richy leaving changes the plans.

I think and hope he stays.So when he personally came out and said he was staying in England this is what he really meant ?
It no way whatsoever will it be vogue. Every team still plays with a centre forward. There’s obviously different ways of playing and the game will evolve again and 2 strikers will be a thing again and for the better. One up pish just makes it easy for defenders. They wouldn’t know what to do coming up against two strikers. It needs to be brought back and it will. Loved watching inter Milan the season before last with Martinez and Lukaku. Inter still play with 2 up now and it’s great to watch.I wouldn't, not sure the game is lending itself to strikers anymore, the position will more or less be in vogue in a couple of years so if no one is using out and out strikers you have less chance of making it.
Seems to be versatile, pacy forwards that can play anywhere across the front three as opposed to a big target man with little ability to run in behind.
Ben used to be pretty good. I think the 'living in a tree' bit came from when he climbed a tree, to get a better view of players going into the training area, and he was up there for a while, so it stuck.So the latest are that a bloke living in a tree is the new ITK master???

We’d need a top striker like Goykeres or someone. lankshear/Veliz can be cover.
If we can get £60m from the Saudi it should be very possible.
But it will never go away and it will come back to two up.The point is teams have stopped or will stop playing with specialist strikers, obviously teams will continue to play as CF but you won't see many more out and out CF's anymore, you actually rarely see it now, the fact that you mentioned Inter just proves my point, they are a handful of teams who don't play with wide forwards.
If we actually do sell Richy, top quality is the remit for his replacement. David, Gimenez, etc aren’t really much better.
Top top quality must be required coming in. He is a lot more useful and versatile than the mugs on here may realize, and the £60m fee reflects that.

Big teams are still wanting that striker, there's just none of them around.Teams don't want one striker who scores 25 goals a season, they want 3 that all score 15.
