Isak, too expensive and injury prone

Victor Osimhen, d****ead alert

Sesko, likes thongs 

Álvarez, too expensive and probably not for sale

Gyokeres, risk from the Portuguese league and will be expensive 

Ekitike?

Bascombe is full of crap. Everyone worth their salt has said we're in for a #9, an attacking player in general, we'll be signing someone, undoubtedly. Nunez for one isnt staying here.  

"Better than what they currently have" does not necessarily indicate "Nunez is only gone if we find a better striker".

Probably done as he saw them as a stepping stone, and Leipzig were fine with that. I think he has a clause in his contract as well.

Looking for a quick turnover, selling before clauses kick in? Long shot explanation, but it is a weird one. 

Looks that way doesn't it? Seems he's been there on loan from PSG for 1.5 season before they finally bought him in the winter window. If they signed him for €50m they'll be wanting well north of that - interested to see what the release clause is. 

He any good?

He may change when he has better players to select, but to date Slot seems to like to play with a #9 #9, not a Firmino type, as good as Bobby was. Our #9 this season has very often been with no other team mate within 20 yards. 
 

IF Slot wants to continue with this, then the #9 has to be better than any of our current 3 options at holding the ball up

He's the one I think, right age and available

Wonder if Bayern will want him to replace Kane

[Earl Hafler]

2 or 3 signings from PL teams and the transition won't be as difficult

No it doesnt but there's no way we're going into the season with only Jota as the #9 if Nunez is gone.

I'm not a big fan of him, however he has improved with his end product over the last two years. He's on pace to do more this year than he did last year [10 goals, 13 assists in all games]. His numbers are higher than Dom's last two seasons at Leipzig, so who knows. I think he's better technically than Dom, especially with passing and dribbling. Whether or not he can adapt to the league is my biggest concern with him, and he's not exactly quick either.

“Xavi Simons is definitely a player Liverpool like, 100% is on the radar. Whether that becomes something this summer depends a lot on competition around him where the spots where you can fit him in open up in the squad… but if it does and there’s a real possibilities for that to happen then I’m pretty sure he’ll be high up on the list, they definitely like him…”

I like Simons and was the only one on here who said so during the Euros. FACT!!!!!

TBH, this is where I am. I’ll happily concede that I haven’t seen him outside of that. Did he play against us earlier this season?

He did play but he played wide and was completely an afterthought.

This might be a Cavani thing where he’s great in all the games I don’t see

Yeah thought the same. Scored a cracker but was crap overall any time I saw him.

He was anonymous for Leipzig against us earlier in the season as well.

[kenny7]

Based on the above he’ll be amazing….. crap against us and in big tournaments.
