Iheanacho anybody?

Apparently could be available on a free. Do we need him? Before recently I'd have said definitely yes! But the transformation of Mateta has changed my mind a bit. But Edouard could be replaced, what do you think? [Link] It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. Archie Griffen Hating Brighton since 1974

Glasner appears to favour high-energy mobile players. Edouard is not. I can see him departing this summer. So we need new forwards, and Iheanacho has always looked handy. If available on a free, and not crazy wages, I think an upgrade on Edouard.

Not for me - he has the odd good game and in many ways is similar to Edouard. Flashes of brilliance from time to time but hints of been lazy and not heavily involved for longer periods.

Glasner Dougie and SP will already be forming a list of players both in and out.. Glasner comes across as being very focused, astute and successful.A good match with the other two. Im sure between them they will have a detailed plan of action. Im optimistic our board will be receptive to the plan once devised.

Che Adams also available on a free, squad player. “That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

Our principal striker is/was a position that needed rectifying I am not sure if Mateta has done enough to be shoed in. I think he has done enough to be either the Number 1 or backup. My guess is we will be looking for both and then make decision. Iheanacho and Adams may be candidates for one or both roles. The reason we are in our position is not the strength of our First choice squad (other than striker) but a lack of strength in depth. I feel both of these would add depth but neither will be our first choice candidates. We can speculate who may be those players Broja and Nketiah have both been mentioned in press. The former has played with Adams before but has a poor recent injury record

There's a good player in there, but too inconsistent and lazy to be considered a top striker. Not played regularly in the Championship this season speaks volumes.
