The negative comments stems from him being a bang average player. As have been mentioned before he is hardly scoring goals apart from pens. Would much rather have Wilson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted September 8, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2020 Not too bad numbers wise. Difficult to judge anyone from Bournemouth from last season after a poor season overall for them. Decent return for a wide forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also has 15 assists. According to the PL site only 1 of those goals was a header. That's not teriible but it's not starting striker for us level either. Exactly we need better to be playing up front than king Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 For 16 million its a no brainer for a fast, fit and ambitious Premier League player Could be our best summer signing 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a google and I think he’s only scored 10 Premier League penalties, so I don’t think that’s most of his goals, or even a quarter. Also, I’m sure lots of good strikers and forwards have their tallies increased by penalties... that’s why they want to take them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Just now, Zatman said: He is not a central striker Tbf looking at Transfermarkt according to them he's played the majority of games at Bournemouth as central forward or as second striker while also filling in at LW and the odd game at RW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) I think if he comes in he strengthens us for the next few seasons. We can then have a solid solution for our first few games if we are not progressing with other targets. He also provides versatility and in training our players will have a different type of player to play against and learn from. After looking into his record and ability I think he'd be ok for a few seasons. Edit - penalty bashing is a silly argument because we still get 3 points! What if he missed them? That's more concerning imo. Shows he has bottle. He won a fair few of them himself. Edited September 8, 2020 by Sulberto21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
