dont_do_it_doug. Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 He wouldn't get in the Southampton team. He is good enough for the Premier League. Both opinions can live in harmony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do notice him being immobile at times and not tracking back but that might be a bit after a malaise because of where we are. Took his goal well and created a chance which should have led to a certain goal. Definitely one to keep if we possibly can. I agree, he was mentioned as a project by Sherwood when he came to the club. So we knew that he needed work and wasn't the finished article when we bought him. Put him with better players, and I think his game would move up a level or two. He should be bottom or near the bottom of our list when it comes to players to get rid of from this squad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7392craig Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Linked in the papers with West Ham. I personally think he'll end up at a club that sort of level, just as a squad option. People can see the potential and I think he'd do well with better players around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Surely its our best interest to loan him out to West Ham or someone.. then bring him back if we get back in the premier league like QPR did with Remy? Playing for West Ham he will probably double his worth even if we had to sell him if we didn't come back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd much rather keep him in the team, I personally think he'd be a goal machine in the championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael118 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 West Ham would be an extremely good move for him. I don't rate him that highly but I can see him doing really well there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Have we not yet learnt our lesson from prematurely letting our best players go? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Can go for me. One of the better players this season but nowhere near the price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 If West Ham offer what we paid then I would accept though couldnt see him get near their 1st team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 He's not a bad player and one we shouldn't sell on the cheap but I wouldn't go much further than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Very hot and cold for me. reports West Ham are offering £6m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 12, 2016 Moderator Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'd be holding out for double that. £6m won't get us a striker in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think £9m at best. - Agree with with the 2nd part of your sentence - although I wouldn't be surprised to see us land that Liverpool reserve striker that we were linked with a few weeks back (No not CB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 He'd be an absolute bargain at anything less than £10m. In a good side he'd be a great asset and I reckon several clubs will want to look at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 6m is a joke, we are not that stupid to sell him at that price. id rather loan him for 2m and watch his value go up. 10m if we were to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 He'd be an excellent championship striker if we play him as a striker and not out wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
