We can talk about getting the best out of really good forwards, but we need a world class striker. Not someone who will maybe become a world class striker, but someone established and proven who will reliably bang in 20-25 goals in the league (in addition to the goals expected from the rest of the team). Need to be prepared to spend Declan Rice money or more.
If we land that type of player, we will have levelled the playing field.
Why do we need this when we had our record goal scoring Premier League season last year with 88, and our top scorers had “only” 15. People need to learn to stop focusing on individual goals, that isn’t important, team goals are.
Because that still wasn’t enough. Man City have moved the landscape, if we want the PL we need more goals and the quickest way to that is upgrade Eddie at CF.

Yeah the whole “20 goal a season” is a lazy thing pundits say.
Who is reliably gonna score 20-25 ? Salah/haaland/kane have been the only ones who have done it regularly and we ain’t signing anyone like that.
Even osimen has only done it once.
