Great expectations for our yet to be signed mystery strikers. Based on the whispers and the hints and tips it does look like Forss, Muniz & Armstrong are our top targets/most wanted strikers. Straight away we have folks saying they’re not good enough and at the same time capable of scoring 20 goals a piece. I think we can draw some closer comparisons with players of the recent past, come up with a few sensible predictions that tick the boxes and get us to where we need to go. 30 Goals from the 3 strikers that come in (my fag packet calculation)
First of all 2014/15 Jelle Vossen is exactly what we need. He goal tally did not meet the hype but his contributions got us to where we needed to be. Marcus Forss is a finisher and capable of doing the business.
Next up ‘The Heartbreak Kid’ we missed out last summer to Fulham for our Brazilian wonderkid, something every boro fan since TLF has craved. More known for his traditional British number 9 skills I think than for kerlon seal dribbles and wizardry. Ashley Fletcher in 2019/20 I think is a fair comparison, scored some cracking goals, got into some great positions and looked to be on his way up.
Adam Armstrong ‘The Golden Goose’ the answer to everyone’s dreams, the perfect championship striker. He reminds me more of Scott McDonald, I don’t say this in a derogatory manner I think all three of these strikers are just what we need and if we get them over the line I think they will compliment each other and the squad very well. Scott McDonald small chewy, shouty nippy, turny, shooty. I’m guessing he tops our scrounging chart this season. Always happy to be proved wrong.. this is what I think we’ll be looking at with a licked finger stuck in the air.
Marcus Forss - Jelle Vossen 7 in 33 - 2014/15 season
Rodrigo Muniz - Ashley Fletcher 11 in 43 - 2019/20 season
Adam Armstrong -Scott Mcdonald 12 in 38 - 2010/11 season
Three good strikers. Automatic Promotion could be on if we get it right..
