Forum SupporterWell, he has more open plays goals than Martinez this season. It's reasonable to think he could score a few more playing in our system.

I like Scammaca but I don't really see him improving our team. We don't have issues scoring vs most teams. But when we face high level teams we need a game changer up top. Scammaca is more less a similar player to what we already have. While I hate his injury record, Dybala is the only player we're linked with who will actually change the dynamic in which teams defend against us. Because idk about you guys, but I'm tired of every team pressing the shit out of us because our strikers are slow and can't finish for dogshit.

Best Overall PosterYeah. It says Lautaro and Sanchez could leave in the summer and Scamacca, Dybala and David are the options we consider to replace them. It also says Perisic is close to a renewal.

In our recent matches we can clearly to see that we have issues to scoring against any team, we barely scored against mighty venezia..
We have scored a lot at the start of season, but since then, things became a lot more difficult for us in terms of scoring, even against garbage teams...

Most Passionate MemberScamacca gives me vibes of a Julio Cruz situation. Maybe he'll be a starter in his first season, but he'll have to settle for being a rotation striker for at least a new world class striker if we're to be content by his transfer.
Main difference is that Cruz was always a great scorer, in big games as well, whereas Scamacca is only now picking it up.

10 years of FIFShame it’s GdS. I said a couple of months ago I’d bite your hand off for David + Scamacca for Lautaro.
And it’s a real fucking shame, because I was so relieved when he stayed in the summer since I was sure Lautaro would explode as the frontman for this team.

David and Dybala would both be great transfers IMO (but don't see how a Dybala-David partnership can work). But i'm not sold on the fact to part ways with Lautaro. I really think he can be a top 10 striker, he just need to work on his finishing skills.
Scamacca remains a big no for me for now. Just isn't ready yet (i have my doubts he will ever be) and needs a couple of season at Sass to develop further. Darwin Nunez seems like a better prospect to me. Also less affordable. A strong and fast player who can hold the ball, but he also needs to work on his finishing.
Imo an attacking force of Lautaro, Nunez, Dybala and Dzeko would be really good. Given our financials not so realistic sadly.

Most Diverse PosterAt this moment it has to also be a mental thing, not just shooting. Lautaro also had great games where he didn't score, but right now he doesn't even look that great.
While I'd love Scamacca, Dybala and David, with Džeko and Correa staying (not a fan of Correa, but okay), who is the first team player in this case? Who is the striker here? It feels weird to bench David because of Scamacca, but also Dybala-David partnership might not be totally what is needed. So ultimately I wouldn't spend money on David in this case, Scamacca, Džeko, Dybala and Correa would be fine enough, better bring a quality midfielder that can be in constant rotation with our three starting midfielders and somebody to replace De Vrij + somebody to replace D'ambrosio.

Best Football PosterBest Overall PosterSadly i don't see any Adriano around. People remember Cruz with nostalgia because we signed Adriano few months later which turned Cruz into a squad player (and he was a great one). But if Cruz had remained a starter people would have got very frustrated with his limitations and they would want him gone. I fear something similar for Scamacca if we see him as our main forward for years.

10 years of FIFThat`s one of the reasons Marotta identified Scamacca. I`m almost sure he will be signed, probably on a loan + option that turns into obligation type of deal.
Contrary to majority opinion here, I don`t think Correa was a bad transfer. We`re just unlucky with Correa`s injury, he will contribute for sure once he`s back.
If we are selling Martinez, Dybala makes sense. However we just cannot know for now.

10 years of FIFNostradamusMost Passionate MemberYeap, that's also my fear when splashing a boatload of millions for strikers that don't scream "world class".
Vlahovic would have been an excessive investment but he looks like the real deal. But we know that the only ones that guarantee success are Haaland and Mbappe. We're nowhere near the ability to bring them over.
Lewandowski is perhaps the most realistic of options from the small World Class shortlist, but even that's below 1% likelihood. Could become a realistic option only if Bayern ends up with Haaland somehow.

10 years of FIFDoes dybala make sense though? He's falling apart with injuries already and lautaro has outscored him the last 3 seasons.
I'm against signing dybala. He can't be relied upon.
Honestly, if we could get Rom on a one year loan that would be ideal. Impossible though. Another sticky plaster until we see if scamacca develops enough to be worth it

Best Football PosterBest Overall PosterTbh i think Lewandowski himself is a bigger issue than dealing with Bayern. Lewandowski currently earns 10m net and he's asking for a raise from Bayern and that's why a renewal for him seems very unlikely right now. These are figures we can't offer. Furthemore, teams that miss on Haaland will be all over Lewandowski as there are many clubs that are looking for a forward and the top options are very limited. Considering his agent is Zahavi Lewa will probably end up in EPL. Lewandowski is definitely unrealistic.
I can only see David coming in case Lautaro is sold. Else, there's no chance.
