Striker - POLL

Wed Aug 01, 2018 7:08 pm

We have been linked with many strikers since the transfer window opened most recently. What striker would you like City to sign if any?

The likes of Musa & Slimani are also available at Leicester.

Ive voted for ANDRE GRAY, his pace is vital, however not on the list is JOHNATHAN KODIJA of the villa, a fit Kodija would be a better bet and cheaper than rondon or deeney :bluescarf:

Hernandez is out of the equation as he has just signed for CSKA Moscow.

I voted Niasse from that list as I think he would be on affordable wages and he's so out of favour at Everton, they may even allow him to join us on loan just so he can play regular games to get his valuation to rise so they can sell him for a decent fee in the future.

I see Musa and Slimani mentioned but they signed for Leicester after they won the Premiership for a big fee on big wages. Surely they're both way out of our price range, especially if we just failed to get Troy Deeney.

The striker I would go for on loan would be Tottenham's Vincent Janssen. He looks an average striker at Tottenham when compared to Harry Kane, but Fenerbache have just pulled the plug on paying a 5 million euro loan fee for him. He was left behind from Tottenham's pre season tour, he's available and I think he would be a massive upgrade on what we have. I think our direct style of play would suit him as well.

Vincent Jansen is a great call Tonteg.
Never going to get a look in with Spurs with Harry boy there.
Did okay with Fenerbahce on loan last season, unfortunately got injured.
From research, his wages are really low for Premier league, approx.£30k per week. If true, could be a really good option.
Would imagine he would welcome the opportunity of more game time and although not prolific,pretty effective at holding the ball up and linking with breaking wingers/ number 10.

Personally I'd be looking at hijacking the loan of Tammy Abraham. He looked good for the jacks last season and would prefer to stay in the Premiership rather than go to Villa. I think he'd suit our style of football.

I wouldn’t be surprised if NW goes for him on loan so that he can splash the cash on a midfielder.

Niasse would be our best bet in my opinion.

Cheapest option and would suit our style.

Don't think NIASSE is going to be loaned out, which is a pity.
Interesting stat with NIASSE.
Didn't get many starts, mostly sub appearances, but whenever he started a game last season, he scored.

Ive always liked the pace and power of Brit Assombalonga, I think if you keep him fit he would excel with Neil Warnock and he works well with our style of play. We should also hijack Swansea's attempt to sign Ryan woods regardless with what happens with Grujic and if Grujic still wants to sign with us on loan as well then that's a bonus.

Being reported that Burnley have now put in a bid for Troy Deeney offering him a 5 year contract.
