Would he be a better option than Benrhama for a similar fee? Not sure. He's a good player but very inconsistent. Questionable temperament too as he got 2 straight red cards this season. I think for around about £20m, I'd take the risk on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that f#%$ing Stevie Wonder would be an upgrade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely better than Trezeguet and El Ghazi. I'd be happy enough if we signed him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although he's refused to pledge his allegiance). lol If i'm honest the only real following I've done of him is headlines of him being a " Jamaican wonderkid " we were desperately trying to play for us (National team). Signed him on Fifa for us and he gets up to 99 rating ( Best in the world). Everythings been quiet on him for a while so I just assumed he wasn;'t fulfilling anywhere near the potential he was meant to have? Freddy Adu esque?

Hasnt he refused call up over something stupid as well.

Let's get Dougie Luiz and Wesley speaking persuasive Portuguese! Would be an unbelievable signing but his wages would probably be too high.

Yes please! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember signing him on FIFA too back when he played for Genk. I think they overrated him a bit back then. He's good but nowhere near that good. He didn't play as often this season as he seems to have fallen down the pecking order behind Moussa Diaby. I think Bailey seems very erratic and unpredictable and I'm not sure how he'd adjust to the PL. He is very quick, which we need and a good dribbler but often goes missing and I'm not sure about his end product. I can't believe he's still only 22 though so plenty of time to improve. I'd take him if we can. He could be great for us or terrible but chances are he'll be better than what we've already got.

MotoMkali Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 6 hours ago, samjp26 said: Spot on - this is also why I believe we need to be keeping Keinan around, that is his role, as long as we have wingers and midfielders who want to get forward we'll need that type of striker. Might not score bags of goals, the stats might not look great either, but watching the game you can see how this type of player can influence the entirety of how a team plays - Keinan is actually really, really good at it. If anything it is the one "type" of striker that we don't need to invest in because we have a perfectly capable player already. Except wesley is better than him at it. It only works if the striker is a threat even if he isn't a big threat. He occupies the cbs and drops deep and creates space. That doesn't work if the cb is happy to leave you alone.

Based on what you've said, sound like it could possibly be an "Adama Traore job" for anyone who could get him settled. I'm thinking he might be on big wages though, and questions over attitude?
