DCJonah Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Bowen would be a perfect signing. Can help us stay up and if the worst happens will be one of the best players in the league next season 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I'd love Bowen. Players you can be relatively confident can hit the ground running 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke are having a shocker he's got 18 months left on his contract he's still a very good young keeper at a shit club. Nope. He’s a soon to be 27 year old keeper who has to take a huge amount of responsibility for where they are in the league this season. Watch his season ‘highlights’ if you haven’t already.

In this case Gregg Evans at The Athletic (so behind a paywall) and BBC West Midlands. So are you saying that they are some sort of news/gossip aggregator? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 £10-£12m for Bowen would be an absolute steal. Follow up it up with Eze for the other flank and Batshuayi on loan and things are looking a lot rosier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he scored Free Kick vs us I think he's scored 1 free kick in 51 league goals. He does score headers and the thing I like about him is that he arrives late at the back post and gets a good amount of goals just by taking a chance of an over cross. I used to try and play like him when attacking, always be level or in front of the ball, receive it running towards their goal, if the opposite flank have the ball, you best be near or at the back stick to mop up. Of course, I was completely shit and never got anywhere, but that's how I trained Old fashioned winger really, with the added bonus of being left footed and able to drift in from the right. He's not two footed, but he has scored a good number of his 51 goals with his right foot too. Not all of his goals are screamers, but he shows he can be in the right place at the right time. He's very composed when shooting and doesn't snatch at shots much. Hard and low is how he generally finishes. He doesn't score many braces, and I don't think he has a hat-trick yet, which shows that you can rely on him to give you goals on a game to game basis. I mean, his figures since his full breakthrough (not including 7 apps in the PL in 16-17) are really good for a winger/inside forward; 1st full championship season 42 apps - 14 goals (his first vs us, which is where I was really impressed, he beat us all ends up that day) 2nd season 46 apps 22 goals current season 22 apps 16 goals Looks pretty good right? When you look at Hull's league placements in those years, they look even better; 2017-18 season - Hull finished 18th and scored 70 goals (only 5 teams, inc us beat that figure) 2018-19 season - Hull finished 13th and scored 66 goals (Bowen scored 33% of their league goals) 2019-20 season - Hull are 9th after 26 games and have scored 40 goals (he's got 40% of them) Hull play a 4-3-3 (like we have much of the season), with Gorsicki on the left and Bowen on the right of Eaves who is 6ft 3 and has 3 goals in 19 games.. Sound familiar? So we know he's able to consistently carry a team over 3 seasons, so pressure shouldn't get to him in games, he was born in Leominster which isn't far and you'd imagine his family being closer might help. He's 23, so he's got 3 years at a good level already, to get even better. He had an unsuccessful trial at Villa when he was 16.. but we can ignore that I just think we're currently struggling for consistency on our flanks, he's used to the English game, probably knows a lot of our players from playing us and being from England and he's not at his most expensive because of the length of his contract. It just feels like he'd fit straight in, plus, he'd get to have a good crack at the Prem. Get it done I'd say. 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he won't be amazing he will adjust faster than foreigners (most likely). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he's twice this year been an absolute bell end while drunk (once gotten beat up and once crashing his car into a wall) and has played football as many times this season. These types of characters I want no where near the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
