The only two of quality listed are Giroud and Hlozek. The others either had it and are passed their best or never had it in the first place and one of them is an extreme cunt.

The Gonz will probably make an informative 16 min video on each one and Geo will give his opinion on a separate pod cast...something to look forward to and give an upvote on

Well Nzola is doing well in Italy and Dia is doing well in France, out of the 2 I'd say Dia looks the best (based on youtube highlights which says fuck all really) Both are 24 years old . Both could be worth a punt.

Sima and Hlozek are teenagers playing in the czech league, and i think Sima is actually a winger.

No brainer for me. Giroud. Haven't seen enough of the last 4 names. Doubt if Dembele would leave Lyon who are top of the league in France, Arnautovic comes with too much baggage.

Probably won't get any of them because in our present system they'd only be a backup which I doubt would appeal. But my guess would be if any of that lot shipped up it would be King.

Giroud will not suit Moyes way of playing

Josh King does and he will be cheap (the owners box ticked)

welcome Josh King :D

15m is about right for him. Decent player that can actually run and score goals in the Premier League. Would be happy with this.

Due to being played as a winger rather than a striker a bit like Arnie hardly scoring when Stoke played him there.

As for Adam Hložek...as long as we buy someone else as well then maybe worth a punt as a youth to start with since he has not played much and you cant expect an 18 year old to hit the ground running as the clubs main striker.....bit too much of a risk.
