Strikers to Barca

[Myrmecophile]

Why not Cavani, big, fast, can head the ball, deadly shot, and only 23? I think?

He's only on loan at Napoli this season, the transfer is arranged for this summer. Seems unlikely he'll be transferred twice in one window.

[PaulFCB]

Agreements can always be done even if on paper he is not Napolis. We can discuss to buy the rights of the contract from Napoli, us paying Napoli money for that and the fee mentioned on the contract for Palermo. Of course, I would cost enough but its not impossible.

Other options like Llorente ( hard to get BUT let's not forget how Valencia refused Villa many times, including RMA one year before ), Rossi ( would be nice even if not the player to bring something different he would be excellent IMO ) or even ones like Drogba who are at the end of the contract. And there's Ibra that seems he doesn't want to stay at Mailand.

pedro=> kun
villa=> falcao or cavani

drogba is good.

but he is 33 years old :S

Exactly what would make him a perfect signing, he won't mind not being a regular, and I can see him fitting in Barca... His technical skills are often overlooked...

[PaulFCB]

First of all a good striker doesn't have to be always in the firs 11 or always on the bench, we know with a striker we can make different formations. Let's say Rossi.
Pedro-Messi-Villa / Pedro-Messi-Rossi/ Messi-Rossi-Villa / Rossi-Messi-Villa and there's going to be games from time to time when Messi can't play and so a good striker can always be of help.
By finding a flexible attack we can also have games at the end of the season when the players aren't all so tired, let's not forget we always are, including in 2008/09.

Chicharito is not going anywhere. Cavani would help any team. Rossi or Llorente would be good. But all these guys need to be the big stars right now, might not fit Barca.

I hope it is not anyone with mental problems or who is a chronic malcontent, such as Torres, Tevez, or Balotelli. Zlatan is not coming back.

I hope it is a young up and comer, or someone late in their career who will accept a lessor role to win championships. Old: Drogba, Klose, Crouch, Raul. With Barca, Neymar's career goals could be many hundreds. Last time he started, I though Afellay was looking much more like a forward, he might be the answer.

[PaulFCB]

Lol @ Crouch, I would rate that transfer as good as Gudjonsen's.
Drogba sounds good for 1, maybe 2 years I guess but we already have a striker at almost 30, one @30 and @33/34 doesn't sound so good, might need someone future proof.

[10Rivaldo]

Gudjohnsen was awesome.

[Messi+Eto]

Rossi would more than fit in just fine, But we need someone physical and technical, Tevez,Drogba, Klose, Lorente or Nani, Can do the Job!

As for the people asking for Zlatan to come back I would choose Eto'o A million times over Zlatan! Zlatan was a flop with us, and would continue to be one.He doesn't know jack about the give and take football we play! He is one of the most immobile attackers ever! Did you watch the match btw AC milan and Real Madrid? Ibra did nothing for 180 hours.

Rademel Falcao >>>>>

This thread is the epitome of knee jerk reaction.

Clone the Henrik Larsson of 8 or 9 years ago somehow.

Or bring back Sexy Lopez.

Otherwise, I don't want a striker.

this .... SEXY and cavani wont be a bad option either

But torres WOW

[Messi+Eto]

But torres WOW

We are not Madrid ! We dont buy players for their looks ! Maxi isn't as good as anyone in the squad now!

[PaulFCB]

Gudjohnsen was awesome.

Awesome to what, a bringing of Crouch to Barca?

[Myrmecophile]

We are not Madrid ! We dont buy players for their looks ! Maxi isn't as good as anyone in the squad now!

We would be buying him (again) for his celebration, of course.

[PaulFCB]

Along with Saviola, two Argentine extremes upfront .

[Messi+Eto]

We would be buying him (again) for his celebration, of course.

I still remember them
