is this the same nunez that missed a load of chances last season I expect him to be right up there this season - unfortunately. I'm guessing 25-30 goals.

Thats what £80m gets you, but he hasnt been that prolific since he joined Liverpool. Every other game, thats a 20 goal a season player, even Nunez at £80m isnt that, you appear to wish for the impossible. If that’s what £80m gets you, then I’d swap Doucoure and £10m for Nunez in a heartbeat, but it’s almost like Palace aren’t allowed to have a player that is that good. Given the values being espoused for Guehi, Andersen, Doucoure, Eze and Olise, I don’t think wishing for a top striker is asking for the impossible. You just have to decide which positions to prioritise.

I'm wondering if we sign someone like Adams then can they play across all three front positions, like Ayew can? That would be incredibly useful for us over the season. Franca and Olise coming back will certainly help but, even then, I feel we need one more.

Yes, agreed, provided one of them can put it in the net. Liverpool yesterday was a great example of what a finisher can do. Nunez had two half chances and took them both. If that had been Ayew or Edouard or Mateta then it would have been bouncing off the pukka pies sign or being caught by fans in the upper holmesdale (pukka pies an elderly reference but I think you get my drift). I appreciate we can’t afford a Nunez but I’m sure there is an out and out finisher out there that we can afford. We’ve got enough hard working triers so I’d gladly take a less dynamic player who knocks in a goal every other game.
Nunez may or may not become a prolific scorer in the PL It helps, of course if you have the quality of players around you as he has. Edited by doombear (28 Aug 2023 2.26pm)

We’re never gonna be able to afford a 20+ goal striker off the shelve, nor would one want to join a mid table team like us. All we can hope for is shrewd scouting/a successful gamble from overseas or lower devisions and hopefully sign the next Michu/Pellè. Brighton are good at it but it’s not easy. Perhaps Franca is that man? The trouble is that for every Michu, there are 10 Sorloth’s. I thought Edouard was dire against Brentford. Any upgrade on him is a good thing. In my opinion both Che Adams and Iheanacho are.

His all round play is clearly better than what both our strikers serve up, not prolific but could improve us in terms of ball retention and hold up play. I fear even 6M is over our budget. Edited by stevo (18 Jan 2024 9.00am)
