Sure, Son had an off season last season, and Haaland is just starting his second season, but god, all bias and rivalries aside, those three are masters of hitting the back of the net. Haaland at 9, Son on 8, and Salah on 7. They’re just brilliant at what they do and I’m thankful I’m watching so many games of the era they active in.

    Quality finishers still are the rarest and thus most expensive players since pretty much forever.

      It always makes me laugh when fans bleat that their team just needs a proven goalscorer and they will be golden. Like it’s that easy. You’ve got the 3 OP mentioned, then what Watkins, Wilson, Toney. Except for Kane that’s literally all the proven goalscorers. And 3 of those are a clear tier below.

        Its why the bidding frenzy for Osimhen is going to be intense next summer. Assuming Mbappe is going to RM, Osimhen is literally the only POTENTIAL elite goal scorer on the market next year.

            It’s a front 2. Bellingham is a cam in a diamond. Outside of being the best final 3rd player itw, we want mbappe because he enables vini to play out wide and gives him someone to link up with which we saw makes him a menace when we had benzema. On top of that his pace let’s him keep up with vini on transition
