I wonder if Suarez bites his wife/gfs/mistresses in bed while fucking
Well, that's a question that came to my mind after your post at least

Who are the best young strikers about right now?
Other than Origi and Jameis Wilson?
Other than Origi and Jameis Wilson?
Do Lukaku and Benteke still come under young? I can't remember how old they are
Seems Borini is for sale, once he goes that would open up a spot for another striker. And when you consider that Liverpool would probably make their money back on him, that opens up even more money. I personally would actually like Balotelli.

People already calling La Liga for Barca? I thought we covered this with Chelsea, that's such an unlikely prediction to make at this stage. The transfer hasn't even gone through yet, let alone those of RM. And who knows what might occur with injuries and the like.

Lukaku only just turned 21 so he's definitely young.
Benteke is 23. Still young I guess.
Really what I'm asking is who do we think will make up the next crop of the sought after forwards. If today's are RVP, Aguero, Lewandowski, Suarez and Falcao - who's next.

Campbell? He's still only 22, I think.
That's not really how it works.
Nobody thought Suarez was in that bracket until his first season under Rodgers, at which point he was probably 25/26.
You can't predict these explosions of talent; well, scouts can but that's why they're scouts and we aren't.
I'll just say Origi.

Harry 'Hurrricane' Kane, obviously.
I'm only half joking, he's going to be a very good player. Maybe not the greatest finisher but he plays like Lambert/Adebayor, always brings others into play. He's already better than Soldado.

I know. I'm not saying they have to be teenagers. Just who's going to explode next. They could be 25 or 26. I'm open to suggestion.
He's not a centre forward though.

What about that Barca guy who was on load at Everton?
Delefou or something?
Would he fail as a CF though?

it's Zola's birthday today! He is the GOAT at Chelsea, absolutely loved watching him alongside Hasslebaink and Guðjohnsen! My favourite front three ever!
happy birthday Zola <3

I honestly think Lukaku.
His move to Atletico will do him wonders, if he gets it.
And, actually, is it fair to say Sturridge?
He's been fucking phenomenal for Liverpool since he arrived but has constantly lived in Suarez's shadow. With Suarez off, and a Champions League platform, I think at the age of 24 this is the year that Sturridge tells the world he's top, top class.
Provided his ankles don't snap.

We have to see how he can perform with Suarez making those runs and pulling defenders en masse. He didn't really shine in the English setup which looked like a Liverpool setup.

LFC have spent what 40 Mil so far? what do you do with the potential 120 mil left?
Didn't know Barrett was on the show. Downloading now to have with my scran.
It's very difficult to pick out the next great young thing with strikers.
Since goals are the be all and end all for them, they aren't really measured any other way unlike midfielders and defenders. Young players with good passing or a few good tackles here and there can be highly regarded even if they don't have much end product. With young strikers, score more than 10 goals a season and everyone would know who they are, less than that and there are hundreds of similar strikers with little way of knowing who is going to breakout.
It's where statistical analysis has a distinct advantage, because of the excellence of the current measures for strikers. ExpG(Expected goals, for example, is a very good measure of strikers regardless of good or bad seasons. I don't know of any lists, but I do recall that Harry Kane, as Usho mentioned, has extremely impressive stats in the major striking metrics even without many goals, one of the best young strikers for years even.

Mario Mandukić might be a good shout.
Consistent goal scorer and avalaible in this window.
I agree, but I was under the impression he had already got a transfer to Wolfsburg?
No it just no
I thought he was going to Atletico, but there has been talk of Lukaku going there on loan.
I would like to think we could compete with Wolfsburg and Atletico for him. Surely he is a better option than a loose cannon like Balotelli or an ageing striker like Huntelaar.

Yeah doesn't seem like Lukaku is going to Atletico. The rumor about loaning him to Atletico wouldn't make much sense for Chelsea either, should either use him now for the coming season or sell him, no reason to keep loaning him out until his contract runs out. Unless Lukaku agrees to a contract extension, which I see no reason for him doing though if he's just going to be loaned out again.

I really don't think so.
I know some who feel the same way so I'm down for an avatar bet if Barca wins the league next season.

But you destroyed the legend Keane.
Of course it's real, you're not saying people would just go on twitter and... Tell lies... would you?

I'd honestly pay £40m for a pair of titanium legs for Sturridge
Reckon our entire season balances on his fitness tbh, unless we sign someone better than Lambert
Shame we won't be seeing Origi from the start today, he looked a pretty accomplished player against USA for a 19 year old, except for his finishing which was dismal tbf
With France going out, I don't think Liverpool have a single representative at the World Cup now
edit: Keane was fucking horrible for us. Couldn't even make contact with the fucking ball, let alone miss the target

Had that lad on ignore for as long as I can remember and whenever I inadvertently see one of his posts it vindicates that decision.
I'd probably agree, although I suppose that's what I'm hoping he cuts out to become a truly top, top striker as Viva was suggesting.
Saying that, he's already a 20 goal a season striker whilst missing the odd chance and with a spotty fitness record.
And do we all remember how many chances Suarez missed during his first 1.5 years at Liverpool? It was fucking mad. All of those 0-0s.
