Popular Post Keyblade Posted August 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2020 1 minute ago, Rolta said: We need to improve the team. That's the main thing. These players would definitely improve us. Bowen is a similar level of signing, and a recent one, and he looks at home. With these two players no more Trezeguet and no more Samatta. There will be more signings too (if they happen). Some signings are going to be easier to make than others. Watching Bowen play for West Ham and I felt we should have been kicking ourselves. That's the signing we should have made. You can tell when a player has the quality to step up to the PL. Watkins and Benrahma have it, the latter especially. There are a few of those kinds of players, Eze being another one. Nobody's saying go spend 50m on Jutkiewicz and Hoillett or something. These are exceptional performers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) Benrahma would be a good signing, but lets not pretend that after the wingers that the Manchester clubs could sign he's the next best option, he's 25 the highest level he's played at is championship level, and plenty of wingers have looked like world beaters at that level and not been able to replicate that form in the premier league, so I think people concerns about us paying big money for him are well founded. I'd much prefer us to go for Sarr. Edited August 6, 2020 by useless 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, when FFP does kick back into gear, we’ll be absolutely fine. lets just spend what we have to spend but spend it better than we have so far. It's ok buying players who may come good but thats a high risk strategy as we found out to and it almost cost us our Prem status. This season we have to buy players with experience and nouce to add to what we have otherwise it's another season of struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think someone to score 15+ premier league goals costs £80-£100m?.... that’s Eden Hazard money, that’s top 5 biggest transfers in history money. Come on. We don’t have to settle for Brentford players because the next tier of player costs £80+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abraham for example is being quoted at 40m. Danny Ings, 2 goals shy of the golden boot will not be costing less than 30m. Only one I'd grant you there is Chris Wood.

Dortmund have a squad of world class players and can afford to take a £25m punt on a youngster and blood him gradually. Completely different situation to Villa.

Everyone’s telling you that, but then you keep comparing his goal output (which is seriously impressive) to the output of a striker. You then claim we shouldn’t sign Benrahma to be a winger and we should sign Jimenez and Danny Ings instead? What are you talking about? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
