We dont need a new striker, Defoe is just as good as Falcao

For me it'd be
1. Soldado
2. Gomez
3. Martinez
4. Villa
5. Aubameyang
Admittedly Gomez is probably a no go but if he's available then he's definitely who we should go for but Soldado's number 1 simply cause he fits the bill for what we need perfectly, we could actually afford him and there's not much doubt he'd score goals for us. I could maybe see us getting Villa if we got someone like Aubameyang but like Gomez he's unlikely. Aubameyang for me is a great chance to pick up an up and coming world beater, definitely someone we'd be getting excited about it we actually bought. Here's hoping. :avbpray:
Completely agree with you there. Soldado would be the perfect striker for us I think, the way he played for Spain the other day reminded me how well he plays as a lone striker. If we are to play 433 next season like is being suggested then we need someone who can play alone up front.
Damiao could probably do this also but Soldado is a proven goal scorer in Europe and has been for years.
I disagree - our strikers aren't good enough. On his day, Adebayor is a handful and has the potential to be a big goal threat but he hasn't done it consistently through his entire career - what makes anyone think that he'll start doing that now? The same can be sad about Defoe, and even he hasn't had enough experience playing up front on his own.We don't need a striker. We have strikers. We need the strikers we have to strike. Just saying.
It's all about the dinero and who else is interested. If Napoli get rid of Cavani for silly money and are looking for a new striker then we'll be behind in the race. But if a suitors of the calibre of Fiorentina are interested then we can be confident ofsnapping him upGomez' agent 'quotes' were encouraging - let's hope we might be interested!
