I’ve no idea if they are better or not. Too many moving parts in any new signing to be sure. The list are just strikers I like the look of, or appear to be gettable.

Absolutely have to sell one of them and buy a striker who would keep either of them out of the team.
I won't haggle too much over which one, though I would imagine Richy would generate more interested buyers.
Sell graft, buy class. That's the mission this summer.

? Not good enough? Not gettable? Too old? Too young? Unproven?

Osimhen's attitude is a concern for sure, but goalscorers with his level of skills often are douchebags...and I'd defo trust RDZ to set him straight if we ever signed him. AFCON/new Nations League tourney in Africa another issue cause he'd miss a lot of club footy. But he's the one who could come here and get 20 league goals a season.Reasons for the score throughs
Guirassy - does well in the Bundesliga, but he gives me Kolo Muani vibes in the PL. Oh and he's 30 already. Pass.
Samu - watched him several times and can't say he ever made that big of an impression. Mainly, very serious injury season just gone and missed 20 odd games. Big no no.
Schick - 30yo, broken body, don't think he's got the goods for Spurs a la RDZ. Think he's a Fulham/Palace/Everton type player. Pass.
Jackson - ex Chelsea for a start, but mainly I honestly don't think he's that good. Big no no.
Endrick - started very well on loan at Lyon but then faded badly. Attitude a big concern too. He'd get eaten alive in the PL. Big no no.
Kroupi - exciting kid and from good stock (played against his old man who was a handful and a really cool dude), but one season wonder or will keep banging them in? Expensive gamble. Also the small matter that PSG is keen on signing him. Say a maybe.
Ramos - can't see him leave PSG, unless it's for a club as big or thereabouts. Wants to play CL football too. Bit old school, not the most pleasing on the eye, not sure how he'd handle PL football...but good player and nice kid. Say a maybe.
Vlahovic - absolutely not. Bang average and a grade A prick.
When people say we will have learnt nothing....it's wholly inaccurate.
It will be a very conscious choice to not do anything, a very deliberate course of action to not act.
There’s more chance of Solanke finding form and looking a good player next season (unlikely). Richy is just too slow, with a horrendous first touch. Good aerially but he’s horrendous
Fair. Can’t argue with a lot of that. I do think Jackson has something about him though. Needs confidence and a run somewhere.
But yes, Osimhen is the dream.
Its Oshimen or bust from this list. But what's his mind set? Could we sell him on we want a star and its YOU. We want our Victor to humiliate Arse-nals Victor. A motivated commited Oshimen is three time better than what we have. Honestly we need fire power for me....Oshimen, Toney, Nunez, Ramos Jackson Kroupi, Duran, we need to be adding two centerforwards with Lankshear getting a one year loan in the prem before he comes back a starter. I know its big money but we survived relegation by 2pts. We need a massive upgrade of center and wide forwards.
It's a rough market.
Kroupi looks like the real deal but he'll have better options than us. Jackson's one I've always felt was a bit of a donkey but the xG nerds love him and Chelsea got worse once he left - think he might be a bit underrated, especially his link-up play, although they wouldn't sell him to us regardless.
Think Ramos is probably the most realistic of the 'big name' options, although even he's a bit of a punt and would be very pricey.
Genuinely starting to wonder if giving Lankshear a go and/or re-signing Parrott might not be the worst option. Either that or hoping our sparkling and ever-reliable recruitment team can dig up a hidden gem.
Definitely sell Richie - apart from any other factor he is far too limited with the ball at his feet.
I'd be inclined to keep Solanke for another season - when fit he is big and strong and seems to be able to hold the ball up which is a skill we have seriously lacked in our forward line over the past two seasons. He must be able to replicate his Bournemouth form if he stays fit.

Add in Davies
I'd keep Solanke as a squad player.
I think we must get a proper number 9 in and potentially another striker as back-up judging by injury problems over the past 2 seasons.
