King makes more sense for two reasons, for me. 1) He would cost less 2) He can play wide or up front However. I can see some really good reasons why we should go for Benrahma (if we have the funds available). Benrahma is a player on the up. For the extra 10-15m that you’d need to pay, you could end up with a £50-60m player by the end of the season. I agree that spending £25m on ‘squad depth’ is unlikely, but because I rate Benrahma more highly than Traore, it would feel more like Benrahma would be the ‘new winger’ we wanted before the summer, and that Traore would be the squad depth player. For a measly £19m! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followed him for seasons because of FPL. Take away penalties and he's bang average. Played majority of games last season at LW 2000 odd minutes AEG about 30 minutes more. King 6 successful crosses, AEG 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Maybe we are in for Benrahma due to a potential injury to Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched King play for Norway and I dont think he would be a good signing for us. Useful, but at the end of the day an expensive player on the bench. Would rather go with what we'll have, and spend big on a couple of players next summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 It's done move on... Hopefully, i'm imagining it but Grealish looked like he was injured against Wales and I'm thinking that's why he didn't get on against Belgium.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if there is/wasn't an injury to Jack, there could possibly be injuries to other people which will have to see us rejig our lineup throughout the season. Personally I don't see it, however I certainly wouldn't complain about having him in our squad. Realistically, we should always have backup for Jack anyway!

Keener window-cleaner Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I think I've mentioned Benrahma in half of my posts in all topics the last 4 months, he was my preferred signing this summer. If there is the slightest hope that we will sign him, I'll hang on to it, but must say it seems unlikely. Before the summer I would have valued him higher than Watkins, and reports that Brentford want £30M isn't unrealistic given we payed about that for Watkins. Of course I want us to sign him, but at £30M I'd hesitate, I do think he will be worth more next summer so in that sense he would be worth it, but it's still a gamble on a Championship player. It's also crazy to think that Brentford can cash in over £60M on two players who haven't played in the PL and are in their mid twenties. Brentford seem to be well run and they can of course demand what they want and see if PL clubs pay up, but it just isn't sound. At the same time, I'm for us paying a premium to get the player we really want. And I really want Benrahma. Regarding him being a squad player, of course we wont pay that much for someone to sit on the bench, he can play right wing as well, so him on the right and Traoré as cover for him or Watkins would make sense. Trez competing with them and AEG hanging around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't last season the first full season in a couple of years for Jack without being out injured? If he, Mings or Konsa gets injured we are in trouble. Benrahma would really make a difference.

Jbvilla909 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I reckon it's just his agent throwing our name out there to get him a better deal elsewhere, I know we're mega rich but are we really gonna pay the fees quoted for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very possible we have spent close to what FFP allows and holding off to a January to reassess People writing off AEG and he hasn't played a game with current first XI. Trez can play either wing also Edited October 12, 2020 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
