MotoMkali Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 2 minutes ago, mikeyjavfc said: Yeah I understand this was a risk reward type signing but it is just the fee that baffles me I guess. At £18m he must be in the top ~1% or so for transfer fees made for an 18 year old in world football? About the same as what Dortmund paid for Haarland. That’s not a petty cash signing like those lads we seem to pick up from West Brom every window. For those figures I would expect him to be a lot closer to first team than he seems to be, but maybe he will hit the ground running this season and it’ll all make sense. Pretty sure dortmund paid 35 mil for haaland. 32.5 million euros including agent fees. Also we had to pay so much to get him the work permit. In the future these sorts of transfers will be cheaper because of the new relaxation of the rules for prem football players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Did he play for any of the Colombia age groups in June as thought him not being involved today was a surprise unless he's injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 What's happened with him? Cryptic tweets, not back with the squad and disappeared into obscurity. Also not in the travelling US squad. Will he break the record for earliest Bomb Squad member? Anyway hope he is ok just seems strange. Positive is that Cameron is in US squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive is that Cameron is in US squad. i looked through the squad list and thought "no notable absentees aside from the injured players" and didn't even clock that thing is he wasn't an emery signing as has been reported multiple places...i think he gave the OK though on the basis of "well another forward can't hurt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think they'd want a closer look at him in preseason...doesn't bode well for him if he's been quickly loaned out without any competitive preseason minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They saw enough last season to know if he is ready it not. He isn't going to have improved significantly over a few weeks with no training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football Club buys extremely promising young striker in a January window, gives him a few mins in the following games to integrate him into a new league and new club and to get a look at him. Still super young and raw but has masses of potential. Football Club Loans said youngster out 6 months later for a full season of experience in England whilst still not yet 20 years old for another 6 months. Hardly bizarre is it.

Majority of player we have that age were on loan in Championship. Nothing bizarre at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Hope the loan is to a Championship club, rather than a foreign club. He's got experience in a top flight foreign league that isn't comparable to the Championship already, so a lower foreign league isn't helping him. Going to one of the top foreign leagues like La Liga wouldn't be as valuable as going to the Championship I don't think. Get him used to England and his physicality should serve him well in that league too. Edited July 19, 2023 by MrBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that archer is going to be kept and given a chance like duran was. Have to say i wasnt overly impressed with duran. In the limited minutes archer got i was more impressed. I dont want to bw too harsh as its a massive movw from MLS to PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
