Someone will sign him and play him off the striker

very easy on the eye, great close control and can go past an opponent for fun 50 yards from goal but very fanciful from fellow Everton fans thinking a champs league side would be looking to part with £100m to take him from us Previous Message
But his lack of pace and attacking input isn’t good enough for the really top sides Previous Message
and I've not really seen enough of Thiago other than the 5 goals he's scored against us but he has scored 14 non penalty goals this season in 2832 mins
Beto/Barry combined have scored 14 non penalty league goals this season in 3032 mins
Barry and Beto's own Xg is just less than the 14 league goals that they have scored
Our chance creation is poor not helped by non attacking full backs
14 goals considering they are very rarely on the pitch at the same time isn't too bad for a striker
Beto has the same amount of non penalty goals as DCL and DCL has 50% more playing time
Maybe we should look at Ndiaye's goal output - 4 in 27 matches and only 3 assists Previous Message
But the only tiny possibility we have is if we go early and we go high (fee, wages etc) - of course even if we were able to pull that off (low probability) he'd probably go the world cup and snap all his ligaments!
Otherwise, fuck knows, hopefully the expensive group of super experts we have assembled, coupled with our aquired data business will actually unearth something more useful than past.
I imagine very few people will move before the World Cup and if they do it will be big signings for those clubs at the top of the food chain (Champions League big hitters like PSG, Madrid etc) so its going to be another nervy, potentially frustrating, long drawn out summer.
Our goalposts have moved, we are a more attractive proposition than we have been for a long time, especially if we do make Europe so we will have to wait and see if that plays out with more successful attraction of talented players or not.

Who would you like us to get in as a starting striker?
You should bear in mind not just who we would like, but who we could afford, and who would actually want to play for Everton.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.
