Unfortunately this is about the level we can afford. We're looking at Iheanacho who since 2015/16 has played at least 20 games a season and scored 8,4,3,1,5,12,4 & 5.

Not every striker is a Haaland or Kane, and in the Premier League he won't have nearly as many chances as he did in the past. But he flubs good opportunities when they arise and he lacks energy, either due to effort or fitness, in both attack and defense.

When you watch his highlights with Celtic, he was quicker and more fluid than he is now. Let's hope Roy or his teammates can light a fire under him.

This has been mentioned a few times as well as on here, time will tell(prob in 6 years time, fingers X'd)

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

I know goals are important.

But for me, the mystical 20 gaol a season striker doesn't exist. At least not at our level.

So what do I want. Someone who positivity impacts a game, make the defenders work hard, an chips in with some goals.

Mitrovic would be a good example of this. Not technically gifted, or prolific, but gives his all and adds some value.

Unfortunately Edouard is almost the opposite of this. 99% of his time on the pitch is invisible. I cant think or 1 positive thing he did last night. One run, one pressure, on hold up. Nothing.

And unless by some miracle he had the Jimmy Cannon gene we couldn't keep him past the first window anyway.

If he did move that would bring up two interesting questions.

1. If he were to start scoring regularly it would prove what I have always said, namely we have a non-productive midfield since Cabaye and Bannon left. At the moment even Glen Murray would struggle.
2. Would we replace him in the January window or just plod on with Mateta ?

Doubt we would let him go unless there was a gold-plated replacement lined up. Maybe Sammy Szmodics ?
