Class lad with a lot to offer. I think that's a great shout, if he ends up moving down the pecking order I'd be all over this If not, then Luka Jovic or Ivan Toney are the types we should be looking at IMO. I'm all for us going for a young lad too, 18 with potential, but they'll more than like take a couple of years to develop into a regular starter whereas Jovic, Toney and Abraham are all ready for rotation..... is Origi a realistic option? I know he's not done much in a very poor Sheff Utd team, but would Brewster be any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 (edited) There's actually a lot of very good options out there right now. I really hope we a) pick the right one and b) get it done this summer. I think we'll see over the next 4 months how we can no longer rely on Vardy, but if not, then next season for sure. Daka, Toney, Abraham, Jovic, Watkins...there's loads. Even if they'll all be £30m+ Edited 8 February 2021 by sdb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa aren't far of us in the league and will be looking to push on again next season.. he's been really good in his first season, and will get better... so he'll be priceless to them I reckon. As much as it pains me to say, he took the best option by joining them... regular starter at a club that's improving and playing decent football... he'd have been stop start here Like the sound of Jovic, only worry is he's not played in England so may need time to adapt the intensity of the English game Toney and Abraham would be the ideal options for me, both offer something aerially too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaggertvsWise Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 We were in for Abraham a few years back and I have always liked him as an option. He’d fit the Rodgers’ mould well and, probably most importantly, is such a different striker to Vardy so it would force us to not find an (let’s be fair) inferior like-for-like replacement and allow us to evolve as a team and a club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what my mates who are Liverpool fans say, the guy offers absolutely nothing, so certainly not one to build a team around... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Toney... good shout Jovic... great on his day but apparently a bit hit and miss? Origi will only improve and hasn’t had a chance really under Salah, Firmino and Mane Brewster,,,?

I don’t see us paying out that much this summer but he’s doing really well this year and could probably make the step up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
