Unless they are moving to Chelsea that isn’t going to happen seeing as Giroud has just signed an extension to his contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) £ 20- 25 million seems cheap in this market methinks. I'd take that. He's got the most important thing PL experience and quality to boot. Edited August 1, 2020 by KenjiOgiwara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 With Eddie Howe leaving Bournemouth, wouldn’t mind that Lloyd Kelly looked good in defence when he did play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want a second striker behind Vardy and happy to have Iheanacho as third striker and around the squad, they’d prefer him not to be second striker. They said after watching the Villa, if we are to improve in the striker department we shouldn’t be looking at him as our first striker he’s just not that player yet and quite far away from that. They said they’d love us to pay 20m for him and they would be getting the better part of that deal. They honestly thought we should look elsewhere if we only had 20m because he’s not what we need.

And even now when they are short by at least 1 CB, there's rumours he's not wanted. He a shocking defender. At 47 million, I'd argue that's the worst transfer of all time. Wouldn't go anywhere near him. So I take it Southgate will be taking Mings, Konsa and Hause to next years Euro's and leaving Stones at home? Of course he won't he will be going and potentially starting. He is an upgrade on what we have and should be considered in the unlikely event we have a chance of signing him.

It’s a no from me. I would possibly be tempted by Demarai Gray at the right price. Really want Sarr though Yeah, I'm with you on Sarr, think he should be one of our top wide targets this window. We need someone with pace and he has it in abundance, will score goals for us too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes can’t really be judged until next season but still had 5 goals in half a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only picks Stones because he plays for one of the top 6. Mings is better than him and Konsa will be in a year (if he isn't already). Stones is not a good defender. What about his game has impressed you? He looks like there's an error in him every time the ball goes near him. Sorry, but we can get twice the player for half the money if we do our research correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaHatesMe Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 1 hour ago, useless said: Iheanacho's goals to minutes ratio in the premier league is actually very good, works out to 21 goals in 44 games worth of football, he also has 16 assists in that time as well. Sometimes that's the kind of data you have to look at when you can't go out and spend £60m on a striker, or a striker worth that much might not want to join, last Summer Ings didn't look like a great signing, but again his goals to minutes ratio was very good, and the same with Jiminez at Wolves, wasn't a great goal scorer, but had a good goals to minutes ratio. Iheanacho in 2019/20 xG per 90: 0.54 xA per 90: 0.24 For context, our leaders in those two categories xG per 90: Wesley 0.36 xA per 90: Hourihane 0.33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought it was his goal scoring prowess but it’s more how easy the chances are when he does strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
