The primary requirement of our transfer targets seems to be for them to be market opportunities or transfer listed by other clubs, then if they are also injury prone it’s almost guaranteed that we’ll be interested, only after that we evaluate if he is really worth it or if he has the characteristics that we need to actually improve the squad and fill the gaps…

And i’m rather fine with getting Kolo as backup/depth, but only if we keep Vlahovic for now too, guy is versatile and has lots of pace which can help us cover on the wings too, but sure isn’t the guy to lead the line as of yet.
- He's left the team where he shinned just 6 months ago compared to the 18 months of Muani
- He's 2 years younger
- He would play in the same championship where he shinned last season under the same coach, with arguably better team mates.
- Muani never played in Serie A. He was good only in the german farmer's league. He failed in the French farmer's league while playing for PSG as their sole striker. Basically every striker's wet dream. Even Moise Kean had better numbers there.

Good arguments, and i agree with most of them, just that the ‘one hit wonder’ description still fits both as it stands, but as you mentioned the biggest advantage when comparing the two is that Zirkzee knows the league already and more so the coach.

Regarding Kolo Muani’s stint at PSG i’d suggest we should look at it also from the perspective of them as a club being an overall mess lately with issues behind the scenes and Luis Enrique preferring to play with a false 9 too, which is why i wouldn’t say he is finished or past his peak as of yet.
He really isn't. Thuram is very dynamic and direct, you could see him grow into a goal threat from just a winger into CF through the years.
While Muani is all around useful type, but rarely ever looked like a threat whenever you seen him for France or club. More of a mobile complimentary role player then main goal contributing (goals or assists(.
I doubt it, but I hope he cultivate scoring touch with us. And hope it's only loan.
P.S in Frankfurt years both Kostic and Lindstrom looked better then him, and now they in Turkish league or Everton bench.
