I am afraid Baldock and Hemed are not Premiership quality , to move forward unfortunately we will have to replace them with better quality players , this is what you have to do to move forward

But Hughton and Winstanley have made very few mistakes thus far. If they have identified him as what we need, then I am inclined to trust them.

All of which is true. He does have ability though and at 6m euros we'd probably pay more for a guy out of league one these days. Worth a punt surely?

He's an absolute goal machine on Fifa 18 which is enough for me.

€6m is a bargain these days, let's get him on board

Gross got relegated with Ingolstadt. Relegations are a team effort.
If we get him in, it’s because he’s good enough for Chris. And that, is good enough for me.

You are assuming team is crap partly because he is crap. Maybe other way round - he gets no service.

Arnautovic is a very good striker.Well managed he is definitely worth the money Hammers spent on him....badly managed by Hughes though.

Certainly played better for Moyes than he did Bilic

Moyes moved Arnautovic away from the wing to a central position where he couldn't laze around and he was voted West Ham's player of the season by both fans and players. So, an Arnautovic at a £20m discount? Yes please ....

I don't disagree - but which striker/s are going to want to come and in all likelihood sit on the bench assuming Locadia is CH's preferred 1 up front next season?
We can't spend £20 or £30m on a striker or two only to have them as back up. Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd can afford to do this, but I suspect we can't. If we do sign someone who has more impact than Locadia, then I could see him wanting to leave. Certainly going to be an interesting summer.

Kind of agree. but isn't the real point that we should sign two strikers that actually have a genuine prospect of playing and being part of a genuine rotation. That is not possible at the moment with Baldock and Hemed I believe..

Maybe we'll be seeing 2 up top sometimes next season? Good to have the option, especially in home games...
This.
Pointless wasting money on back up strikers. It won'r happen. Anyone who is brought in will be competing to be playing or even be a starter.

Won't happen with Chris at the helm l'm afraid. I also can't envisage Locadia being the man to lead the line, fine as a number 10, and with a big striker alongside him, but from what l can see he isn't a Glenn Murray or even a Tomer Hemed, and can't hold the ball up in the same way.

Agreed - that's why I added the rider that stats don't tell you everything - he may well be very talented but in the wrong team - his record though at the second level with Cordoba was good - only 25 can still improve too in a quality team.

... and for me, that was the comment that got me really excited.
