Can someone provide me with the bench options we should be going for at forward, instead of Osvaldo? Quags and Vuci are on the wrong side of 30 and in decline, I'm hoping we can get rid of one, if not both. Young unproven forwards don't count. We can't have more than 1-2 in a group of 5 forwards as with young players there is a much better chance they never pan out. We know that Osvaldo isn't a world beater, but a very good sub he is for any team aside from Barca, Madrid, and the oil clubs. In the 14-18 million price range which is probably the price we'll pay if we choose to sign him in the summer, there aren't really any established forwards better than Osvaldo, unless we're hoping for great luck with another bosman showing up, or a Tevez situation (wantaway, almost 30, etc). Ideally I'd like to be paying 12 mil for Osvaldo, but with teams like ManCity paying 20-30 million for bench forwards, it's not going to happen. Osvaldo for around 15 mil is a great backup for Llorente. We're not going to bring in a 40 mil striker, and we can't bring three 19-21 olds into our forward line. Ideally, if we get Osvaldo for 15 mil in the summer, and bring back Berardi, and perhaps one of the others, we'd have Llorente, Tevez, Osvaldo, Berardi, +1. That's one of the better forward lines in Europe if Berardi pans out.
