88 Goals: Palace's Striker Search - A Crystal Clear Need
Let's face it, Palace fans, we've been singing the same tune for ages: "We need a striker!" And this summer, that need is louder than ever. With Wilf leading the line and doing a darn good job, but with not enough fire power in the box, we're crying out for a goal machine. Someone to hit that 88-goal target we're all dreaming of.
The Need for a Goalscoring Beast
It's no secret that Palace struggled to find the back of the net last season. We were in the bottom half for goals scored, and that's simply not good enough for a team with our ambitions. Sure, we had our moments, like the 5-1 win against Leeds, but those were just that: moments.
We need a consistent goal threat, someone who can sniff out goals like a dog sniffing out a biscuit. And that's where the search comes in.
The Striker Search: A Long and Winding Road
Palace have been linked with a whole host of strikers this summer, from big names like Ekitike to lesser-known gems like Bamba. It's a real mixed bag, with some potential, and some maybe not so much.
The problem is, the right striker isn't just about goals, it's about fit. Can they play with Wilf? Will they fit in with the manager's style? We've seen flops in the past, so the club is understandably being cautious.
The Hope for 88 Goals
So, what's the verdict? Well, it's still early days. But one thing's for sure, we all want to see a goalscoring beast rocking the red and blue. Imagine a new striker, scoring a hat-trick on opening day, the crowd going wild... That's what we're dreaming of.
We all have our hopes and wishes, and fingers crossed this summer, Palace's striker search will be successful. We're all rooting for a player who can bring those 88 goals and make us all proud.
Come on you Palace!
