Who was the last big, strong forward we had?
Probably Roger Hunt, but most would say Heskey who was big but never really used his size to his advantage. Heskey also played wide most of the time
Benteke though.....
£32.5m mate, he was a big purchase tbf.I assumed the question was about at least half decent forwards who could stay fit!

The price of a player does not reflect his performance for the buying club. Benteke and Pogba being examples, the best example is probably Coutinho
It was. I was thinking Heskey too. Otherwise we could stick Andy Carroll in thereI assumed the question was about at least half decent forwards who could stay fit!

Big Les was the best I’ve ever seen in the flesh, he was only about 5ft 10” iirc but he had the highest leap I’ve literally ever seen, and neck muscles like Tyson, so his heading ability was immense. He once scored a headed goal for QPR and I was stood at the front of the Gwladys right in line with him, unreal it was, I can still see it now.Neil Mellor...
We've had very few over the years since Billy Liddell, really. I always wanted us to buy Cyril Regis back in the day, but it just didn't really suit our style, except as a back up to sit on the bench; and if they were half-decent they weren't going to put up with that.
I used to admire Graeme Sharpe, because he was mobile with it (and he used to scare the **** out of Hansen), and Giroud is still now a potent weapon on the bench. And there's that Geordie **** Shearer, who in the mid 90's was the best in the world, in my book. Shearer was ****ing hard - seen him kicked to **** and not complain, but give it back in spades. Like Osgood could too.

Liverpool will try to negotiate a fee between £36m and £53m for Timo Werner, according to reports. They’re not the only ones with that plan, however.
The Telegraph makes the claim. They say that Werner’s current £53m release clause expires on June 15th and Liverpool will wait for it to expire.

Apart from that, we may have to sell two or three centre backs. ACON is coming in January and may be short in that department.Koulibaly is a top quality CB that would improve any team but I'll be quite pissed if we sign him, it's not an area that's in need of that sort of investment.
