So with Chicha reportedly wanting an exit this summer I am a little lost as to who will replace him?
Hugill looks on his way out too so will be left with:
Haller, Antonio (as Back up) and Xande Silva (once he is better and returned to fitness) .
Anyone (including eds) have any idea what the plan is? Are there a couple of loan deals or a cheap buy we are looking at?

There was always the possibility of a complete front man clear out: Carroll, Perez, Hugill and Hernandez and I think most of us on here weren’t averse to the idea.

However, if Hernandez leaves now for approx half of what we paid for him, given that we don’t appear to have much in the pot, I can’t see us spending big for a plan B striker.

MP rarely uses two front men and it must be a given that, if fit, Haller will play, but it would be foolish not to have a decent back up CF. We are now packed with attacking midfielders to support Haller, so any incoming striker will know that, failing injury, the bench is where they’ll start.

It has been stated that Hernandez wants to leave because of lack of playing time, so who will come to us to fill his squad place?

Interesting times.

Great they have all gone or are going . Hernandez’s strike rate has fallen, he isn’t a starting striker and is getting past it. Hugill was a pathetic purchase even for us . Carroll always injured and very one dimensional, Perez why on earth did we buy him? He was crap at the Arse why did we think he would begin scoring at our place? Even the greedy Austrian could never be called prolific despite his talent when he decided to try. In clearing out the whole bunch we are losing 20 goals? Hardly going to miss them .
If Haller is half as good as we believe he will cover that bunches returns easily .
We still have Antonio
I guess that Anderson will play in the forward line too .
Then there’s the midfield which should weigh in .
But
There’s a Colombian at Rangers who we should buy
Unlike most strikers playing for us of late he knows where the back of the net is, has no injury problems and should come relatively cheap ( compared to £10M for Hugill Haller was cheap!, ) .
I know he plays in a pub league but some decent strikers have come from there, and it’s not like he is getting 9 or 10 a season .
Ok he is a nutter, but we love a nutter . And certainly Costa ( Chelsea one ) was as bad but in reality was lauded for his aggression and winding up of opposition defenders .

I’d take Morales and send Diangana the other way.
