I agree with you, although I wouldn't turn my nose up at getting a remy or slimani. I think wickham has looked very good of late and will settle into the role and score goals. When you think, we have had strikers like Cameron jerome up front in the prem, Wickham is a huge improvement as cj was a real example of a striker that struggled to finish in good areas. If wickham can add goals to his game, then we have the striker we need.

However this slimani bloke does look the type of striker we need. Also, remy is proven in the prem and we know can play with cabaye. I would be very excited to sign a new striker in all honesty, so it's a difficult choice.

I do think that to guarantee ourselves a place in Europe, we need a striker who will score 5-10 goals, as Ian wright recently said, and it's weather we are willing to wait for Connor. I know we score goals from midfield and that is working at the moment, but when that falls flat you need a striker who has the right attitude and ability to be selfish, and bag himself a few ugly goals.

Of course, bamford might be leaving and we could sell either gayle or campbell, so there may be a space for competition! Have to wait and see.
