I was hoping it was ‘as well as’ but not so sure now. As Bailey tends to play on the right Buendia style it would imply he’s moving inside to be our No10. If we’re after another attacker (as well as Bailey) can we get Cherki out of Lyon please. Only 17? Any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably he'd want to be here if we sign him. Didn't Benteke act up at Genk when they refused our opening offer. He turned out OK here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Lots of talk about him being the next big thing, similar to Pedri so doubt we’d get him. He’s talented though and gets into the Lyon side with the likes of Paqueta, Aouar, etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benteke was still professional on the pitch, Edouard at best isnt on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only 21, good stats, decent pace as well. I’d probably say £20m max but that is a wild guess on my part. £20M doesn’t even get you a Rhian Brewster here though and Gouiri is way better than Brewster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edouard scored 9 in the last 11 games last season. Maybe it's a combination of him not being 100% since he want's out and the Celtic fans being against him since he declared that he want's out? Anyway I don't think he'll end up here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gouri is highly rated and had good stats, a good young player. Would have no objection to us making a move… 16 goals and 7 assists is impressive for a 21 year old… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll know most of the lads and I think he’s an excellent player but I don’t know if he’ll come here as back up to Konsa He only played with Jack, Mings, McGinn, Conor and Davis and 3 of them could be gone soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Guardian do an article of the 100 best 16-17 year olds in Europe every year. Then they re-visit it 5 years on and you'd be surprised how few of them go on to be top players.

Fair point, we don’t need any more kids either. All about strengthening that team and helping us win more games… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
