We can't just sell our entire group of strikers.
But adding more and more middle aged and average skilled attackers is inevitably leading to that resolution. Either we would suffer to the point where every other player in our team would carry the weight of an unproductive strikeforce or we have to do something about it.
What will happen if players that are close to world class (e.g. Marchisio, Vidal, Chiellini) become disillusioned with our chances of winning silverware and ask for a transfer? Will it be cheaper for the team then?
In my previous post I've mentioned that we would loose just 10m on Matri alone. Now we know he wouldn't improve much anymore so keeping him isn't going to work and we know selling him would cost us a lot of money. Another example would be Giovinco, although at least he fills the quota of home-grown players.
I would prefer if we have 2 top strikers (25m+ each), one Quag-like and two youngsters (Immobile... etc.) and whomever we play would be for all the right reasons. What would Bendtner learn from Quag? What would a young gun learn from any forward in this team?
Before we had players like Trezeguet and Del Piero. Those two guarantee you that if you have a young and hungry lion he would be having the best example to follow - a tough act, but entirely up to him if he would get that spot or not. The same with Alex and Baggio.
Eventually, even your losses are cut short, because there is a market for 29-31 year old top striker and competition for his signature. Not so for even a 26 year old mediocre one.
I hope I am wrong, but the forwards department follows a bit different rules than midfield or defence - because players are more dependent on their ability to produce something out of nothing. Therefore the rule would be that a good 30m forward is better than 3 mediocre, 10m ones.
