Still surprised we’re not linked with McGinn.
DCL being premier league proven is a massive plus. I think he is maybe a year or two off his peak, but playing with better players may see him develop a little more.Vlahovic looks the best CF we've been linked to imo. DCL obvs is PL proven, which is always a plus, but I think he's playing at his peak right now. He's a good player, but not near the elite level for me.
Isak looks good back to goal, but I don't think he's got as much goalscoring potential as Vlahovic, who looks to have an absolutely lethal left foot, as well as being very good in the air.
I think with Saka and ESR out wide, who aren't really wide forwards, we need a goalscoring machine at 9, who will convert a high % of their chances. The big q is obviously whether Arteta's rubbish football would stifle a guy like Vlahovic as it has Auba.

Vlahovic is lethal with his left foot, but England is a different proposition to Italy. I think he will need some adaptation and I feel like we would be a stepping stone for him. From everything he is saying, I don't get the impression he would come to Arsenal and want to become a legend. I'd definitely take him but I don't think he attainable.
Isak is the interesting one for me. I like his attitude, but he has room for growth. He has played with Ødegaard which is big plus, but his qualities are actually very rare in a number 9. Back to goal he is okay, but he can improve. He has blistering pace and really quick feet. He isn't amazing in the air, but he has a leap and can challenge so that is another area he can develop. However as far as finishers go he is good. I think Isak needs work physically. We need to get him in the gym, target the right muscles and really turn him into a frightening prospect. Also. Pay the release clause and he's ours.
Yeah I think Isak has the highest potential of the three but imo he’ll have a longer adaptation period than Vlahovic because of (lack of) physicality. I’d prefer DCL because of being PL proven but I also don’t think he’s good enough long term. Who’s going to be our next CF is a tough choice that Edu and Arteta really needs to get right.DCL being premier league proven is a massive plus.

Problem with DCL for me is that I can't see what his stand out attribute is. Doesn't score that many, hold up play is ok, technically a bit limited. Not particularly great at running with the ball at feet. Just can't see him being worth the money we'd have to pay (call it the James Maddison dilemma)It's really difficult to gage attacking players from the French league. I think he is good, but he doesn't play as lone forward, he isnt good in the air and he isn't scoring the type if goals that really warrant taking a risk on him. I have the same opinion of Gouiri.
I think we are going for a more robust lone centre forward.
Haaland- no chance
Isak - expensive and needs development but attainable
DCL- expensive, proven
Darwin Nunez - knee injury history, erratic
Osimhen- expensive , also erratic
Schik- just moved, is he going to get better?
Vlahovic- seems to have it all, are we being used by his agent?
Dolberg - always injured
Utd rumoured to be interested for £50mStill surprised we’re not linked with McGinn.
Besides is only 23 in footballing years, after having misses so many seasons.Pay as you play would be perfect. Just wheel him out against City and Liverpool, will help us do much better against the press.
Stand out attribute is aerial ability. Probably the best striker in the air in the world I'd say, scoring goals with his head that he has no right to, in the toughest league aerially.Problem with DCL for me is that I can't see what his stand out attribute is.

Get what you're saying about Gouiri but as a shadow striker I think he's just about the most promising option out there. Questions about whether he works up front by himself though for sure.
@El Duderino who dis?
31 and wanting one last payday. Sounds like the perfect deal.
This club never learns man. Willian replacement on the way.
