I'd love us to go after Chicharito.
Had a decent scoring record at Utd, wasn't bad during his Madrid loan and then exploded into life at Leverkussen.
I think putting him up top, with Özil supplying him and Sanchez playing off him, would be a recipe for goals.

Olly hits an average of 13 Pl goals a season for us so anyone who has a better strike rate than that over the last 2-3 seasons is worth consideration especially if they've been doing in a side that doesn't make as many real quality chances as we do.
If we talking about strikers who have a worse strike rate than Olly over the same period he's been with us why are we?

I think chicarito is a decent shout. Long and Austin perhaps too, though none have a real fear factor for an opposing team like an aguero, Kane or Sturridge. Deeney is decent and strong, but a no for me - soamy goals from pens and I thought ighalo was better (then huge dip in form) . Lambert too similar to olly and not as good.
I don't really go in for comparing cfwd targets with Olly myself as its not one or the other. Olly can go through some inconsistent patches, but also can do a great job - presence, hold-up, bringing Sanchez in to play and headers. I think Danny is great too. I just think we need different options for different teams. Ideally someone proven, fast, and will get regular shots on target, but if not, lesser names could still be useful. Think you're right G62.

Sano 😂
Chico is a little favourite of mine too, he'd bang in goals for fun with his clever movement n the way he's constantly on the shoulder looking to get in behind, he is exactly what we want/ need.

If we played with two strikers and one wasnt giroud he maybe ok but on his own up front a big no, not for us.
