As has already been mentioned in the Mateta thread, Villa have made contact about signing JPM.
This made me look at our striking options for the first team. Look at the value (not I expect what anybody would pay) but the on paper valuations.
Eddie. JPM. Strand Larson and I guess you could say Sarr.
Now the best 2 out of those currently is JPM and Sarr. Both want away, well we know for sure JPM does and can only assume no smoke without fire for Sarr.
This should be no problem and Eddie and Larson should be giving a full go in that position. Eddie if fit should be the one as he is ‘Apparently’ the most natural finisher we have (I once read an article when he was a gooner that he was the closest thing Arsenal had to a new Ian Wright).
So for me, the club is better with JPM and Sarr but if they want out, f*** them both off and start using what we have. Let them prove there worth. If that is not the case and they are not up to the task then whoever sanctioned these moves to purchase Eddie and Larson needs to lose there job because we spend no small amount on these 2 and if they are no use and we need another striker then that person is s*** at there job and should pay the price for that. We are not talking about prospects here, for us that was major money spent.
If we do use them then we have got to play to the strengths, Eddie needs wharton slipping passes through quickly which is exactly what he is good at and Larson need wingers getting the ball in quickly with a left winger on the left and a right winger on the right so the ball can go in early. I seem to remember this working quite well back in 91 for a certain duo being fed by Salako and Mcgoldrick. It’s not rocket science.
