A younger Glen Murray (presumably the Glen of a couple of seasons ago) with pace ?
Harry Kane should fit the bill
but we can't pay the bill.

One with a dodgy ankle and the other two too old, no resale value. Surely we can do better than those 3. Barber out.

As described we need a fox in the box. A Glenn Murray type. We are not going to get a world top striker coming to us, so someone canny.

I see Glenn as someone who can bundle it over the line in a goal mouth scramble. However, I think we need a poacher who will strike suddenly from the edge of the box.
Everyone we have is either too afraid to take the shot or has to spend so long keying up the shot they telegraph what they are doing.
A natural goal scorer can hit on the volley without thinking.
Am saying I would forgo the goal mouth scramble goals and even the headed crosses to have the shots from distance that catch everyone unawares.
I’m going to get flamed here but I really enjoy the thrill of the chase, the on/off nature, the will he/won’t he anxiety.
We had it with Calleri and Jahanbakhsh, it’s just fascinating reading the gossip and dodgy sources and wondering if all our tail feather flapping is grabbing the man’s attention.
And those who don’t think we need Darwin, think again.
Potterball is all about fluid tactics and set-ups. What Potter wants is options. Look at the Lamptey and Veltman options at RB or RWB, Potter can pick very different strengths and characteristics for the good of the overall balance of the team. Also, check out Potter’s use of McBurnie at Swansea, he likes a tall strong unit up front at times.

I will only be happy if/when we land our striker target [emoji457] [emoji91]

And what we have to remember about this season is that there will be a lot of games in not much time. We know Potter deals with this by rotation and in an ideal world, the players who come in shouldn't be weakening us

Totally agree.
I can’t imagine having absolutely no crumbs to go on, over the off-season. I’d go bonkers.
The chase gives us something to enjoy whilst there’s no football.
A few foreign and barely translatable sources later and it looks like we’re in with a shout again. I love it!

These aren't the players you're looking for.

I'd argue the opposite. They've done that by buying low and selling high. They don't like forking out the cash.
Their highest transfer fee paid was Raul Jimenez, at £19.8m.
Not so different to ours.

Brighton or Benfica, final pulse by Darwin Núñez
The English club offers 25 million and takes the lead against the UDA in the bid for a Uruguayan striker who wants to wear the Portuguese team's elastic
Brighton or Benfica, final pulse by Darwin Núñez
The culebrón Atletico this summer is getting closer to closing. It is a matter of hours before the departure of Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez from Unión Deportiva Almería becomes official . What will be the fate of the scorer? That is the big question. When everything seemed to indicate that their future was already more than directed towards Benfica, Brighton has taken the lead against the UDA in the bid for the attacker, whose desire is to wear the Portuguese team's elastic.
It is being a key weekend , given the first team of the UDA begins the preseason this Tuesday, September 1 in Marbella. The Uruguayan and his representative had lunch this Sunday with Joao Gonçalves, while emissaries from both the English and Portuguese entities have also held meetings in the last three days with Mohamed El Assy . According to Diario As , Las Gaviotas have offered 25 million euros plus a bonus , after the previous week they put on the table 18 million plus seven in variables.
For its part, Benfica , according to information from the Portuguese newspaper O Jogo , the Eagles would have offered between 22 and 23 million euros, plus a clause that included a percentage in the future sale of the Uruguayan. In addition, the Portuguese club offered the players Lerma and Cádiz (he will go on loan to Nashville SC of the MLS), but coach José Gomes would have fixed his interest on the young midfielder Diogo Gonçalves , although the winger would not be willing to play in the Second Division . Both parties also collide in the time of payment of the operation . The Portuguese intend to divide the amount in five years and the Almeria set only two as a limit.
The best hope for the Lisbon Eagles is that Darwin Núñez's preference is to wear the Benfica jersey. In fact, according to the Record newspaper , the footballer would have already reached an agreement with said club, which would not be willing to raise its offer. It should be remembered that the UDA has also received bids from Inter, Naples, Wolfsburg and Leipzig, although the final pulse for the rojiblanco top scorer last season (16 goals in 32 games), is finally starring Benfica and Brighton.
What is clear is that the transfer of the Uruguayan will be the most expensive move in the history of the silver category of Spanish football, surpassing the signing of Hasselbaink to Atlético de Madrid that cost Chelsea 22 million.

What he gets up to in private is his own business IMO.
