You originally said we need one if Suarez stays though, and we have more pressing matters at hand, ie: the defense.


Who are the 4 or 5? I'm racking my brain here for the past few minutes and am struggling.

For me there isn't a club around Europe who claim to have one until Falcao to Real Madrid is confirmed and that's assuming Benzema stays. If he's off, that leaves Morata who doesn't look the part going by last season. You can shoehorn Bale or Ronaldo upfront, but you wish for a natural backup striker I gather.

Bayern for the time being, maybe. I don't class Mandzukic as world class myself, very good yes, but not world class.

Dortmund have a wealth of options now, but Reus who can lead the line aside, Immobile, Ramos and Aubameyang aren't world class neither.

Juventus have Llorente and Tevez who play in the majority of games.

PSG, well Cavani plays in 90% of the games, even if he has to be thrown on the right to accommodate for Ibra.

If Suarez goes and we get Sanchez in return, Sanchez is well able to play centrally and score 20 goals.

That would be the hope for sure.

The below are all world class strikers/centre forwards (whatever people think of them be overrated ) who can play in any system from 442 to 433 etc it all depends on the manager. They do score goals.

Barca with Neymar and Messi in the same way we call Luis a striker.

PSG with Ibrahimovic and Cavani

City with Agureo and Dzeko and Negredo.

Utd with Van Persie and Rooney.

Bayern with Muller and Lewandowski and Mandzukic and Pizarro

Madrid have the perfect wing forwards to complement there one world class striker in Ronaldo and Bale.

Don't get me wrong I have being shouting for weeks that it is the defence we need to be sorting. It is defenders I want to see us linked with.

Newcastle signing siem de jong for £6m why isn't anyone else all over that. Seriously underrated player.

We need to aim for one though if Suarez leaves to compete with Sturridge at least.

Balotelli as crazy as he can be is a world class striker.

West ham have Carroll and carlton Cole!

Nuri Sahin

Electric pace and lovely movement from Origi there.

How many teams have world class back up strikers to call upon?

Forget everything we might have one in this Belgium lad :D if he signs.

If he's half as good as the last player we loaned them we're in for a treat.

Danny Wellbeck is having a decent game for Belgium.

No I'm not having that. He might be quite raw but he has serious pace and a silky touch. I've seen a bag of cement get away from Welbeck.

Origi is a bit of a unit for someone that quick. Still growing too.

rob316

Origi looks good left his man for dead a couple of times now. Belgium seemed to be playing better without lukaku too.

Super-Rush

Air shot from Wellbeck.

I'd have Origi, would be a great option from the bench.

Still a bit raw but enormous potential. Better technically than Lukaku and probably a bit quicker too. Hope we get that deal signed asap.

Grayditch

HEADS UP, ORIGI, players are allowed come and take it back.

flanzer

Very impressed by Vertonghen here. He's clearly wasted as a centre back at Spurs. Might he be the quick fix at left back?

Raif Severance

I've been Impressed with the USA's RB, Yedlin.

kevohmsford

Origi doing well again

All the papers reporting talks are opened with Barcelona for Suarez

Slattsy

Bye bye Suarez.
Just make we get every penny out of Barca for him. And Sanchez.

Liverpool FC will hold talks with Barcelona on Wednesday after the Spanish giants finally made an approach to sign Luis Suarez.

The ECHO understands that Reds chief executive Ian Ayre has agreed to meet a delegation from Barcelona in London.

It will mark the start of negotiations between the clubs over a potential deal for the Uruguayan striker.

Ayre will also take the opportunity to step up Liverpool's pursuit of Barca attacker Alexis Sanchez.

Liverpool and Barcelona officials will meet in London tomorrow to open talks on possible Suarez transfer.
