West Ham to spend big on Toney or Duran? | Steidten interested in free agent Memphis Depay

Geo discusses which striker we could see at West Ham United next season as the Hammers are linked to Ivan Toney and Jhon Duran as well as Dutch striker Memphis Depay, after his contract expired at Atletico Madrid.
Reports suggest a striker is next on the cards for Tim Steidten, as Max Kilman has passed his West Ham medical and will become Julen Lopetegui's third signing of the summer transfer window.

[@Johnson0595]

30 million would be a fair price for duran and villa should see that as a good double your money return, 50 they wont be getting... funnily enough this reminds me of the broja situation at Chelsea, the irony. Toney and Depay I'd both be pleased with but I'm still concerned about the age of players we're going for and think steidten should be lining up unheard of gems

[@HammersChat]

I think you need strong foundations before going heavy on younger players. Give it a couple of seasons and I think we’ll see more younger players coming in. Left back is a good example I think, it’s fine for this season, get a youngster next summer (replace Cresswell) and become an understudy to Emerson for a season or two

[@Johnson0595]

@HammersChat Do we not already have older foundations at the club who have enough experience for this though? Antonio, Bowen, Paqueta, Alvarez, Soucek, Emerson, Areola, Fab, JWP, Cress... I'd expect them all to be here next season and thats plenty of experience

[@HammersChat]

@@Johnson0595 very true but the other positions missing I think need strong signings If we shift Aguerd or Zouma, I think their replacement can be younger But Ogbonnas needed to be substantial (which it is with Kilman), if that makes sense? Take the striker for example, I think he needs to be a ‘strong’ purchase but if we moved on Ings, his replacement could be younger.

[@obsidiancurse429]

Probably Toney and not just because I would laugh to see him and Paquetta in Betway shirts 🤣 Duran is the better age but at 50mil he would have to be incredible to make a profit on. Depay seems a bit “Ronaldo”, it’s all about him. Toney looks like he would fit our system, seems a good bloke and probably has the highest profile in England, to get fans excited for the signing. That said, when you look at the Leverkusen model of young upcomers and old war dogs I could see Tim going for Depay.

[@DC-uf6ve]

Duran is 50m, Toney will be 50m, Depay will want 200k a week. None of these are viable in my opinion.

[@obsidiancurse429]

@@DC-uf6ve Toney is in his last year, Brentford have to sell so he could go for less than 50, I don’t think Brentford are rich enough that it’s worth losing 30-40mil to keep him for one last season, especially when they already have his replacement in place.

Not as good as Toney in terms of being a target man and I think Duran has a much higher ceiling. I agree with you on your analysis of Duran. Pace and presence is there. Clinical. Would need to work on that hold-up play, but at 20, you would expect him to develop physically.

[@MarkChippers2193]

Depends whether Loppy wants a starting CF, or a squad option to compete with Bowen and Antonio. If a squad option, I still think Broja is worth a punt for a low fee. Even Fulham fans said he looked good in the limited minutes for them. Dare I say, even Calvert-Lewin as long as the fee and wages are sensible. If it’s a first choice CF he wants, probably Toney, En-Nesyri or Abraham, with the latter being a loan with option to buy. I do think Abraham could be the one to watch too.

If you bring in Toney you’re bringing in another guy who has a gambling addiction. Not the best look with what’s going on with Paqueta 😂 Also Duran has attitude problems. Wrecked an apartment he was living in apparently.

[@audialiastt2601]

Geo, At this moment, I'd pay £16 - £20 mil with future add on's for Duran. We need as many players as possible who can/would push their way into "starting eleven" . At present, I'd say we have 9, not including Duran. We need at least 14 - 15 b4 kick off.

[@simonhughes7141]

Depay and Toney are completely different types of strikers - assume Lopetegui looking for a forward who can hold the ball up and be a threat from crosses which is Toney, whereas Depay would fit anywhere across the front and fit the "wide attacker role. Jonathan Davids is more of a pacey striker - profile personally prefer.
