He wanted the ball and showed for a pass all the time, something always happend when he had the ball, great movement, ran at defenders, looked quick, strong despite his length and with good technique. Played well against a strong Chelsea team so he should be able to cut it in the PL. If he is available we should go for him. If we go down he would be great to have in the Championship. If the price is around £15M we should go for it. One thing though is that going for Bowen perhaps would mean we wouldn't go for Benrahma as they are very similar players. I'd take them both, but if our plan is to take Benrahma in the summer and we only go for one perhaps the plan is to wait for him. Not sure we will get Benrahma in the summer though, and if he continues to perform perhaps bigger clubs will come in for him. So given that I think I'd still go for Bowen now. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okonokos Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Big week ahead. I still think we NEED another striker (preferably someone experienced who can hold the ball up *GIROUD*) and a wide man/playmaker who can cross the ball. Those are the necessities. A dirty scumbag central midfielder would be nice too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danishlad Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I don’t want us to get anyone who has already turned us down. If they are not excited by coming here, they are not wanted imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Sturridge for £5m. So £2.5m per game pay as you play then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing funky about shit body popping. But if it meant they'd just scored for Villa, I'd put up with almost anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leipzig were happy for him to go on loan to Monaco, where he barely played and didn't score. Is he really amazing? (Also, I love that these sort of players are generally viewed as "oh ****, we missed out" whereas if there's a link to a random, unknown player in, say, Romania who has a 1 in 2 scoring record over 200 games, we're all "this guy is so shit, what's the point") 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't score a single goal for them. Wasn't very good at Leipzig either. I don't see how he'd have been the answer for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
