Rustibrooks Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I think it was @Vive_La_Villathat mentioned the last striker we got from Lyon that seemingly had a poor scoring record for the season, did pretty well for us and became a bit of a cult hero for us 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it means there’s a player in there somewhere. If anything we’ve suffered from signing players off the back of one good season and they turn back to the shit they’ve always been. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Dembele is on over 70k per week, I’m assuming our offer will have to make him our new highest salaried player to get over that free transfer/six month contract situation. Big money! He is an upgrade on Ings but I wouldn't be going over 4m a year for him, I doubt he will be the automatic first choice here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Only 26 too and if the fee/wages aren't astronomical, could be a good bit of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same and with the striker market right now being so sketchy, if he was banging goals in this season we may not have had an opportunity to go in for him. Especially as he’s 26 years old and should be coming into his prime. I think he’ll be good for us even if he becomes a rotation option in the future, when we sign someone better if we get into Europe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Like Kamara if he's on a free or nominal wages are largely irrelevant for a player of his quality Scores goals. Good age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get you don’t rate the guy but you can do much better than this. He scored 26 goals at Celtic. The rest have come at the highest level. Watkins scored 28 goals for us.
