Or KJH (who wouldn't be a bad addition at 14m)
Yeah he would. A 30 year old striker at above 10 mil would be bad business. Also his production has fallen massively the last two years. I don't want him. I'd rather go after Lacazette from Lyon, who can play across the line as well as at striker if we are going to spend over 10 mil. Or Alessio Cerci. Or Roberto Frimino.
I also wouldn't mind taking a punt on Ricardo Rodriguez and playing Gibbs on the left wing. Rodriguez is a really good LB going forward and Gibbs is a willing runner who rarely asks for the ball into feet and has enough technique to play forward if we need him to.
All we need is runners to open up space. Otherwise we are pretty superb at breaking down teams with ten behind the ball.

he's 27 (would be 28 in August) and has 12 goals in 17 BL matches this season. injuries would be a concern, but if we're talking about a striker market where we might whiff on our top targets, he wouldn't be a bad get. better goal scoring record than those you listed, though lacazette and firimino would be better for the future.
i don't think gibbs is skilled enough to play LW for us. his running is good, but he doesn't have a good final ball and can't score. of the two, i'd prefer to give Monreal a shout at LW (also a willing runner, worse defensively) but i'd prefer a true(r) winger/attacking player. i do want to get a LB because gibbs is too often hurt and i don't think monreal is good enough, but i doubt it will happen.
