Strikers: van Persie, Adebayor, Bendtner, Walcott and ?????

I said I needed official confirmation and I got it.

The transfer is all but done. Right now though I am not in the mood to write a blog detailing what I make of Henry’s exit.

I have pondered on it all day and plan to construct a blog on Monday briefly conveying my thoughts and feelings.

My mind right now is on his replacement. Clearly no-one can replace Thierry, however there is no doubt a striker must be purchased. The worry is that whichever striker we sign this summer (if we do not sign one I might combust) will be labeled as the replacement for Henry, which heaves extreme pressure on that individual. Hence we need someone world class who is confident they can deliver.

A few of the names that have been mentioned include:

Owen - injury prone? Extremely good finisher. £9 million for proven premiership talent.

Martins - fast and direct. A consistent performer? Rumoured to be available for £13 million.

Fernando Torres – could be pricey, I am still unsure of how good he is, I simply have not seen enough of him. Could be part of a deal involving Reyes?

Anelka - A quality player. Would you like to see him back?

What do you think? If you were the boss, who would you realistically bring in. Baring in mind someone like Villa would cost around £30 million.

Simply state the player you would like to see brought in.
