NSC on signing a new striker:
1, 'finally, we've got a 20 goal a season striker'
2, said striker scores in first or second goal: 'see told you, Maupay/Welbeck/Trossard/A N Other was holding us back -- it was obvious we needed someone that could do the only thing a striker needs to do'
3, new striker gets injury and/or suffers barren patch: 'never rated X'
4, new striker goes on another barren patch: 'what a waste of money, get rid, I've always said we need a 20 goal a season striker'
5, lots of new alternatives punted on various NSC threads: 'this player looks like a 20 goal a season striker'
6, repeat of stages 1 to 5

I don’t think Potter will have him. Good goal scorer but his all round game is not a patch on Welbeck’s or Maupay’s.

Welbeck is the striker I think we'll go for. If he signs then I don't expect us to get anyone else in that dept. New left back will then be the priority.

LOL.

As an aside, we won’t get a 20 goal a season striker. 15 would be brilliant.

Would much prefer Tammy but Divock is a much more realistic target.

My heart would sink if we signed Origi. There's a good reason Liverpool are wanting to move him out.
I'd rather stick with Welbeck and Maupay.

Agree. That "20-goals-a-season" metric that always gets trotted out is relevant for the Championship, say, but not the PL. Only Kane and Salah got 20 PL goals this season.

Someone who can net around 15 (this year: Vardy, Calvert-Lewin etc) would be incredible for us.

In the massively unlikely event that he sings, I'm available to drive him back to Liverpool if he fails to score in a pre-season friendly vs. Worthing.
