Agree. A gamble for a young player whom might not be good enough for a few years. Everyone and then, a Big Six will let a quality striker go, I remember Chelsea selling Lukaku and Citeh selling Strurridge. But it’s quite rare. I think Balogun was the one they wanted to keep.

My guess would be that Nketiah wouldn’t be deployed as the main striker, I could very well imagine he’d be wide of a front 3 with Trossard perhaps moving to the right. After some thought that could be a move that makes sense, we need more goals from midfield and our wide players, Eddie can provide some assists and chip in with 5 or 6 goals that could be very beneficial. He does seem to have a lot of pace, something we’re criminally short of.

Whilst I agree with all that but he is 22 now and does have PL experience with about 40 appearances under his belt and a few PL goals (most off the bench no doubt). Brewster on the other hand, had never played a PL game for Liverpool and was signed by the Blades at the age of 20. That was a far greater transfer risk and I don’t think he scored a PL goal.

Chelsea dropped a real clanger as it was them who took Sturridge from City and then offloaded him themselves, they did but Torres though who scored 20 goals in 110 games

Wouldn't be that disappointed with this. I feel he's more favourable than the Celtic frenchman

Jokes on you then, he played 17 games for THE GREAT Marcelo Bielsa, ergo he’s in-line to win the Balon d’or.
Surely he can't be that bad
For about 10 minutes until GPott finds any excuse to change everything making it all about him.

I looked on YouTube and selected the first ‘highlights’ reel. Some of his misses…he’s perfect for us

? Making it about Nketiah or Potter himself?

I’m beginning to think our only hope for more goals this season is Trosaard improving his returns and Mwepu. I just don’t see our strikers, or any incoming striker, making the slightest bit of difference. But, one or two of our midfielders could score 6-10 goals.
It's all about 'look at me - I'm too clever for football' Potter.

If you like, I think he’s a very good manager who current has a disgustingly imbalanced squad bereft of pace and goals.

In my wildest dreams this would happen, as we’d also sign a #9 (Edouard or Nunez). Would be transformational in terms of pace and finishing ability in our front line. But then I woke up, and accepted it’s another year of what we’ve got isn’t it?

Based on who we’re linked to, it seems he’s identified the right issues (forward players needed with pace and finishing ability, and LWB / RWB). He isn’t accountable for signing the players, that’s the recruitment team not the Head Coach. I don’t pretend that’s easy, but equally it’s not Potter’s fault if they fail to recruit what he’s asked for.

Ah, so it’s Potter’s fault that his strikers are shit and he has no full backs.
