Right. I dont think Anelka will get his chance here. His wages are far too big for his position in the team. Only a regular starter can earn a big contract like that. He was only loaned to fill the void of Bendtner given that we had to have something on hand for Champions League.
Otherwise I like that list of strikers. Priority will change eventually but yes. We need a new SS and a young ST.
1st Llorente
2nd Jovetic/Sanchez etc etc
3rd Vucinic
4th Giovinco
5th Matri/Quagliarella/Gabbiadini/Boakye
This seems most likely to me. One of Matri and Quagliarella could take that 5th spot.. Im not that happy with Boakye warming the bech instead of getting goals in his legs.. He's still very young for the big stage.. And Bologna will be more than happy to keep Gabbiadini whilst I dont see us getting rid of both Matri and Quagliarella in one window. Both have proven enough quality for the bench so far this season..

The numbers were misleading, what I meant was Matri would be Llorente's reserve, and Vucinic would be 2nd reserve (i.e. to Jovetic/Sanchez whoever). I would keep Giovinco as 5th striker, but I don't know if he would be willing to play such a 'small' part in our season.
I too would also prefer Boakye/Gabbia to get regular playing time, but they may reason it out like Marrone, who had said, it is better to play 10 games with Juve than 25 with a provincial team. Who knows, we might use Beltrame as a 5th striker so he can slowly develop
