I would go for Balotelli. There's so few options now. BR could tame him and he'd give us 20 goals a season.

He has that unpredictability we need.

It certainly wouldn't be boring!

We have just got rid of one media nightmare, we don't need another! However, I do think a bit of a "character" in the squad can do a lot of good, as it takes the pressure off the rest of the team a bit, as most of the media attention is on the lunatic .

Can't say I have ever thought Bag a telly would really fit in our team very well, too selfish.

Hard to pick a striker who will fit our system now...

[GALLARDOGUY]

Stephan El Shaarawy. Left winger mainly I think.

He and Arda Turan are both players I'd like to see here but we are full of wingers these days.

Is El Shawari a winger or a striker (speeling)

The Milan player I mean.

Striker as in the left of the front 3 he played for AC the other day. His brother who is his agent said he had heard of interest by Real but he is going nowhere. Has a great relationship with Inzaghi.

Balotelli ins't an LFC player, especially under Rodgers plans. A lazy player. Moments of brilliance but I don't rate him.

Shaqiri could play one of the front three, though he's not an out and out striker.

[Glenred]

Can't think of many strikers who we could get tbh.

Lukaka? Can't see him coming to us after playing over there.
Lavezzi, PSG need to sell to be able to spend more oil money
Super Mario, no chance! He's a nutter
Cavani, will want too much money and can we attract him? I doubt it.
Agamayang from Dortmund would be good.

Cant really think of many more...?

If Balotelli is a similar price to Bony - I'd rather take him, warts and all.

[BlackST]

I'd rather Bony than Balo.
Cavani £50m? Falcao £50m? Reus £35m? Higuain £35m?

Good strikers but alot of money and the question of would they come.

[jammy_basturd]

I'd rather have Bony to Balotelli too!

If we're in need of replacing goals - Bony scored 25 in a Swansea team. Balo scored 30 across 2.5 seasons for City and has only got 30 for Milan in 1.5 seasons!

Pay them enough and they'd come. The club is behaving as if there is a shortage of top class talent, that's not true, rather there's a shortage of top class and cheap talent.

What a difference 12 months make. Last year we were sneered at for our attempts to sign Suarez, 12 months later and you're hero has fked off to Spain and we signed the player you coveted most this summer. What has John W Henry got to say for himself now?

Probably not much.

You didn't offer enough, perhaps if you had offered 75m last year we would have sold him to you.

Don't see many on here crying about it.

you're hero

Why thank you!

He's probably saying how glad he is that told your mob to do one, and then watched Suarez score all those goals for us and then collected an extra £35M over your bid.

Something along those lines... Hhhhmmm?

If Barcelona think he's worth £75m good luck to them.

[GALLARDOGUY]

Are you stating he's only £40M then?

[Alfahorn]

GALLARDOGUY said:

Nope, I'm stating I don't think he's worth £75m. He's a flawed genius sadly.

Plus the extra TV and prize money for finishing 2nd rather than wherever Arse finished!

Obviously he is only worth £40m and a quid.

Do you actually know what you are on about because I sure as st don't!

[MrMagoo]

And had Suarez upgraded by coming down south last season he'd be leaving Englnd with a FA Cup and Premier League Champions medal round his neck.

Bet his kicking himself at what could have been.
