When Barca moves for a striker, it’s bound to be a big name with an equally hefty appetite. Unless we discover a versatile option who can temporarily cover both roles, wouldn’t hold my breath for a new striker this summer. Like it or not, Lewa’s here to stay.
Like I said in his thread, the striker market doesn't seem that great now. Is there a single striker in the world (other than Haaland) who measures up to Lewy himself in his prime, Suarez, Benzema, Aguero, Zlatan?
I think as inverted forwards became popular maybe fewer young players wanted to be number 9s. Leading to a dearth in the position as compared to the past. I seen this said elsewhere, thought about it, and it seems to make some sense.
People talk of Gyokeres but he still has a lot to prove and is already 27 this year.
I don't keep up with European football anywhere near as much as I used to (getting older) so maybe some people can enlighten me on some of the hot young prospects on the planet that aren't very well nown yet.
