how do you suggest we do this?
when average forwards liek Adebayor are getting 100k contracts thrown at them we will struggle to compete.
we can't compete on wages
we can't compete on stranfer fees

we...simply are being priced out of teh market
Will have to build a wage structure and transfer strategy that allows the big money for a striker(s).

That's the point

we have to adapt. we cannot just sit there and say we can't compete so we will adopt a transfer strategy that continues to follow a model that will not allow us to sustain competitiveness in any league.

Because if the price of strikers is being maxed out then what makes you think that mids and defenders won't follow?

And then what? We don't play in the market at all because we sit there and say we can compete in wages and transfer fees?

Again, scope comes into play. The man doesn't have scope.

What Nenna said.

Also dont get involved into negotiations with a player and drag it forever and wait for the rich teams to have a striker crisis and go for our targets.

we are unable to compete with the big teams for class strikers. that much as become apparent now. no changing that and people are delusional if they think this policy will change now.

Juve's only feasible option to scout onbscure players, or develop youth. Marotta and Conte seem to have figured this out hence why we seem to be spending so much on youth players.

Bozi described us as not being able to compete in today's marketplace.

It's sink or swim and we are sinking. I don't know how more plainly one can put it

we are top team in table, won the league and super coppa, and still in CL, and we are sinking?

P.S our problems extend beyond having a striker. main one being we don't have a coach.

it is funny how the clueless around here rotate in their cries for something we (allegedly) currently don't have. after trezeguets exit everybody claimed "we need a poacher, someone who has goal instinct", after that it was "we need more creativity", then "we need more width" and now it is "we need the top striker". these are just empty words. we have the best "attack" so what do you think would have changed if we had that "wonder striker" ? would we have the uber-best attack ? we do score enough goals. if scoring 23 times in 11 games is not enough for you this season then you clearly do not understand football. in champions league we scored 4 goals in 3 games, so that ain't enough either, right ? what buggy kind of version of football manager do you guys play, that makes your team instantly score whenever you need it, by changing a striker. this is what you have to have in mind.

we will not ADD a striker, we will simply have to bench giovinco or vucinic and add another guy who hopefully will be THAT MUCH better, so that we do not only score as much as with Giovinco but even more and at the same time do not lose any of the characteristics Giovinco gives our game. i do not see the player that would give us this quality jump right now. if we get david villa and we play vucinic and him togethers you moaners will switch to your old broken record of "we need more creativity" when vuvcinic has one of his several "couldn't care less"-days.

We are lucky to have midfield wich is able to score so many goals, otherwise we would be fighting for Europa league spot.

If we offload the leeches and not buy anyone else, we can afford it.
