….yep, I agree but I think it’s terminology rather than like-for-like.
Richarlison was an effective central striker, especially in DCLs absence. We had two effective strikers and now we only have one. Richarlison replacement = an effective striker.

Still gobsmacked that people think we can get by with DCL as our single striker all season.

I didnt know there was some, we definitely need another forward
That's what a backup is. You have players that play every game, or you have players that play some games (backup). This striker we need will not play every game so he is ergo a backup.
Really? Think he's one of the worst strikers I've seen for Everton myself. Bloody awful down the middle.
Far far better than Rondon still. One injury to DCL and we are in big trouble, and there are still concerns over his fitness until he can put together a run of games.
I’d like to think, with recruitment and training, that we’re working on a system that will spread the goals around a bit more rather than trying to hit a home run with one signing that can replace Richy’s output.
Based on preseason it looks like Alli is marked as the utility forward who will act as backup across the front line. I’d like to see us sign a “little man”/“on the shoulder of the last man” striker as backup/Plan B/partner for Dom depending on what system we employ in a given game. We tend to run out of ideas quickly when teams squeeze us with a high line so would be nice to have a Vardy type to chase long balls over the top. A CM who can deliver them accurately would probably be nice, and all.
Not that I’m kidding myself, like; we’ll get Batshuayi and lump it.

Certainly not one of the worst but his effectiveness through the middle vs from the left was night and day.
You don't say...
That's where we are at the minute. We are one injury away from either having to play Rondon as a striker, or Alli as a false 9. That's probably in the bottom 3 in the league for depth at centre forward.

Interesting take. I'd say inconsistent rather than awful - there were some games he had centrally (Arsenal at home last season instantly springs to mind) where I thought he was tremendous and, if he could ever find consistency, he'd be a much better long term bet there than DCL for example, but no disputing that most of his more effective games came from wide

I'm hearing no move for Batman.
Feels like we're in for Cornet or Broja (maybe both?)
