I know this may be a crazy suggestion but what about Lacina Traore? I've seen talk about a big man and he certainly is big at 2.03m. In the 4-4-2 style he would be a good counterpart up front on the left side because he is left footed and Wickham is right footed. Also, he would be a massive aerial threat with all of the crosses we throw in the box Can't see Wickham benefiting from another big man up with him, when he and Adebayor have played together they get in each others way. I think we need another big man to have as an option off the bench but not as starter alongside Wickham.

If rumours about Slimani proved correct, he would start, leaving Wickham/Gayle as impact subs off bench?

I'm happy with Wickham as the lead striker, I think we could be deadly with him and someone like Danny Ings. After that I think all we need is a big inexpensive target man; Ricky Lambert perhaps, to hold the line late on. I think spending £15-20m on a target man that's going to keep Wickham (a £7-9m buy) on the bench is wasted money.

Have found the perfect match by way of strike partner for Connor: Guaranteed to be an illuminating presence on the field!

Arouna Kone is another that has alway impressed me with his link up play with Lukaku and running in beyond him. Getting on a bit now though. Edited by Mad4palace (16 May 2016 4.55pm)

Edited by Mad4palace (16 May 2016 4.55pm) Really good call. I've thought that for a long time however Everton's status has become more of a yo-yo existence in Premiership in recent years. The key is to strengthen team and tactics to maintain OUR progress in the top tier, then the hope is that players of Kone's calibre have their lights switched on to discover more.
