Possible January striker targets?

Mauro Icardi
Chucky

Heard he's pretty deadly like.

It depends whether the Marco/Brands feel Richarlison is better off up top or on the left.

If up top, we should be looking to go for someone like Zaha - I doubt he’d join though with other clubs sniffing around him and the price would be £60m+.

If on the left we should be going for someone who’s stock is lower after a failed move but has proven quality, or a player who can obviously step up.

Andre Silva, Belotti, Chucky would be obvious options.

Sevilla have an option to buy Silva for €35m which is pennies these days for a goalscorer. 7 goals in 9 matches so far this season for a great side - Sandro went to the same team and wouldn’t have scored 7 goals if he played 100 times for them. Marco seems to have a magic touch with convincing players to join so I think he’s realistic.

Belotti hasn’t had the best 18 months for club or country goalscoring wise - in fairness to him neither his club nor country are great sides these days - but he’s Torino’s captain and at 24 the ability is obviously there. With his stock probably at it’s lowest for a while I can’t see him costing any more than £35m but who knows.

Chucky could be a monster. I think he’ll end up playing at a huge club but because he’s so highly rated the price could be £40-50m for a player that’s never done it in a decent league.

There’s options out there but I’m happy with the business we’ve done recently. Hopefully we can find that missing puzzle piece in our attack.
 

Stick with what we've got for now and don't pay stupid money for average players in January. I'd play Richarlison up front for the next couple of weeks and see how he fairs. Initially I was concerned he didn't have the strength to hold a ball, however watching him against Leicester he certainly does. Back in the day Thierry Henry started out wide and got moulded into potentially one of the best strikers out there. If Richarlison can get anywhere near to that standard we will be on to a winner.
 
Yes , and I do t rate him at all, doesn’t score or assist enough to warrant a supposed 70m price tag

Had a 1 in 3 strike rate last season and 5 assists. This season he's got 3 goals and 1 assist in 8 games.

He's not worth 70m but you wouldn't pay that for him. He is a good player though and would definitely improve our team.

Palace would want a fortune for him , no thanks , been there done that already
