Any news on us looking at or getting a striker in. It showed against Spurs we need one desperately.

Well this morning we are being linked with Charlie Austin. God I hope not!

I'd take him over kalinic. At least he scores.

I'd take Austin as a replacement for kone. 100% not fit a rom replacement.

I'm always honest on here. Austin at £4m for Southampton I thought was a steal. As Toffee time says he scores. Would be a good option to have available in the squad IMO.

Only thing for me is I think injuries could be a problem. Wouldn't have him as our first choice but would certainly rather have him on the bench to come on or start some games rather than A Kone.

If we could get him for a similar price that Southampton paid for him then he could be a steal. But depends if they'd want to make a big profit on him. I don't think he's the answer to the striker issue just in addition to signing another striker.

He's a far better option the A Kone, scores goals and works hard. However, Saints were able to sign him for £4m because his contract was expiring. I very much doubt he'd be allowed to leave for the kind of price most of us would feel was acceptable.

Well let's face it, a mannequin from the Everton two store would be better than A. Kone. At least you could put it in a good position and bounce the ball off it into the net! Lol.

It's Lois Saha all over again. No thanks.

Saha done well when he played imo.

I agree Toffee Time. But he was rarely there when he was needed. I'd rather someone more reliable.

Austin would not come here anyway, all these discussions regarding him have been had before. The bloke is a stay at home.

PB78 no it did not show we needed a striker desperately. What it showed was Kones exit door but Mirallas and Del Boys improvement under Koeman and believe it or not Mcarthy's ability as a RWB. Modern football (where have you been) does not need or rely on an out and out striker (CF) but the flexibility of the forward line and its constant swapping of positions and scorers, under Koeman that looks like the direction we will take.

As a club I think we should expect better players than Austin. We need a bit of pace too especially if rom stays. We should be looking at better quality for me.
