Morning goons, what's your preference on a new striker?

That chap at Napoli looks like a beast but will probably be too expensive for us.
We really need someone good in the air because teams worked out they can force us wide and nothing will come from us in those positions.
Saying that we'll probably end up with Nketiah signing a new contract, and Jesus.

I think Nketiah will come good next season he has shown in glimpses what he is capable of and his international record speaks for itself.
However I do believe we need another world class striker to play with him.
I am also interested in what formation we will be playing next season especially at the back as we will have White, Salliba and Gabriel so will he play 3 center back or maybe move White to right back or maybe even into a holding role in Midfield.
What's people's thoughts on this.

Salina will probably leave beefy.

Well if we want to challenge for any thing we need better than Eddie, he’s not good enough and will not get 20 plus league goals I’d love for him to do it but vans see it.

If we are to be totally realistic like a lot of clubs next season we are playing for cups and third and fourth place. Just think City and Pool way ahead of everyone - not defeatist just realistic. The way I see it Ramsdale

Tommy Saliba / White / Gabriel Sir Kieran

Partey

Saka Oedegaard Martinelli

?
It isn`t original or groundbreaking but I think the nine players there are first team material . Could White partner Partey? Defensive minded and very good passer. I think so but doubt will happen. Again not original but court case dependent Bissouma plus Jesus would have me very optimistic. At approx £90 mill spend any left over money strengthening squad particularly LB cover Partey cover although El Neny and Xhaka could do that job. Exciting times for me - we got close to top four with Cedric Holding Eddie and El Neny Tavares playing lots of important games. recruitment needs to be Liverpool good not Man Utd bad. Quick question Ed - Saliba or Bissouma? VTH.

Out of interest why does everyone see Saliba replacing White?
Personally I would see him replace Gabriel if anyone as he is more error prone. When White plays well and brings the ball out of defence he makes a huge influence on games.

We need more goals from the middle with the front three continuing to hit double figures.

Of all the players last season to score 7 or more we had three only scoring 28 in total.

Bukayo Saka 11, Emile Smith Rowe 10, Martin Odegaard 7

Over the dark side they had two 40 in total. Son Heung-min 23, Harry Kane 17. Scored 8 more and concede 8 less overall.

The west side had 27. Mason Mount 11, Kai Havertz 8, Romelu Lukaku 8. Scored 15 more and concede 15 less overall.

Only Leicester below us scored more (1) but they conceded 11 more.

Not even going to mention the top two teams given people think they are above and beyond, for now at least.

This might be silly or simple stats but it clearly shows where we failed. I believe even if we had conceded less we still where scoring enough to win those games.

Everyone slagging off eddie yet at his age has better record than van perise sorry if the spelling is wrong.
He also has a better under 21 international record than anyone in the country yet you all still slag him off he has done well give the lad a chance.
I read this site all the time but am ready to stop as everyone Is so knee jerk I support the club win, lose or draw we do not have the right to always be at the top and that's what is great about sport and I find it embarrassing that so many people seem to think we deserve or have the right to be at the top every season.
There are so many on here that when we win Arteta is the best when we lose Sack Arteta and that's what's wrong with this club the Fickle supporters.
I know many will be upset with this but it's the truth.

Fair points Beefy mate. As Shambo has said we have never given Eddie a fair shake and I hope that next season he will get one.
