He would not be the only flop we have signed and we wouldn't be risking millions. As I've said in the past, the last striker we signed from Dundee United, worked out very well. Oh Yes!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes one of the only Watford players to perform well regularly last season by all accounts. I'd have him. ok, fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's out today and it's probably only for one game and I'm shytting myself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 1 hour ago, John said: Does anyone else think that Lawrence Shankland, may be worth us having a punt on during this window? He's 25 this month, scored 28 goals for Dundee United last season and is a full international. He wouldn't cost too much and would be an option on our bench next season. Our very own John McGinn said last year, "I’ve been watching Lawrence Shankland in training (with Scotland) and learning how to finish!" a hit rate of a goal in 1.91games in 274 games in his career 24......got to be worth a punt ,if the price is right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. If the price is right. He's scored goals at a level that's comparable to league 1 so price would need to reflect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB/RB - 15-20m? GK - 15m? trying to be Conservative and assume we will spend somewhere around the 100m mark? Can’t see us dropping £15m on a keeper.

I would like Deulofeu if we’re getting Watford midfield players... but I think he’s injured so couldn’t pass a medical and would likely be £25m(?) which is a lot to spend when he might not be there for the start of the season and/or fully recover.

He's very flaky. I've never got the hype with him. Like i said if we'd a chance to take anyone off Watford it's Hughes. A really good footballer that probably goes for around 10 million or so. He gave an age in the championship with Derby, i don't think he wants to play in it again. Well used to the hustle and bustle of the premier league. These silly signings like Nakamba need to be a thing of the past. If players like Will Hughes become available, we should be all over that.

I agree we probably shouldn’t risk that much money on a player out for so long. Especially since recoveries can be very varied and not guaranteed. I suppose if they want him of their wage bill and we could get him for a lot less money then maybe it’s worth the gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a few games with Deulofeu last season and was quit impressed. He’s quite quick and good at running with the ball and taking on players... Something we could probably do with.
