First ever post. Been following for such a long time. Love the site
What are people's thoughts on Kudus for striker seeing as the market for strikers is limited atm. Be kind lol.

He only got 5 goals and 3 assists last season which s similar to Darwin and he played a lot of minutes away from the CF position.
It could be a good shout but for me I'd prefer to have a specialist Centre forward there that can spear head our attack, link the play up and bag lots of goals.

Pretty sure that's worse than Darwin and I'm guessing he played more too. Kudus is not a striker so why buy him to play him as one?

I only saw him when he played against us so not a very good gauge. But I thought he was blowing hot and cold. Seemed great when he had the ball at his feet and could run a the defence but otherwise, he was mostly invisible. Didn't see him make any runs to pull defenders away or work back to help their defence. I liked him when he first came onto the scene but I'm not so sure about him now.

8 games he played at centre forward.
5 goals and 3 assists in league which matches Darwin’s.
Nunez got 2 goals and 3 assists in CL and League cup also but played 46 times as a CF.

I was chatting to a huge West Ham fan, who’d be glad if he left. He’s quick and skillfull but apparently with no end product.
Would cost £80m or so, probably not worth it.
{Ed001's Note - plays for himself not the team as well. Wouldn't take him on a free personally.}

True JK, but those 5 goals and 3 assists were over the whole season, not just the 8 games he played at CF. If Transfermarket is right, he got 1 goal as a CF.
He played 2600 minutes in total in the PL vs. Nunez' 1100. So stats suggest he'd give less than Nunez who is already not good enough.

SR i agree mate.
I wasn't trying to big him up for the role. I'd like us to go for a specialist Centre forward over a player who can play there if needed.
We won the league with a LW starting almost half the games there so hopefully Slot gets the CF he wants and trusts.

Kudus will never be good enough for Liverpool. Ever unless we are talking Roy Hodgson era.
