He has potential but he needs another year or 2 to develop for me and 50 million for a project player is a lot Problem is mate... By the time they've " developed " they may become out of our reach.

Yeah you can negotiate it based on timing but it's a contract clause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 This will be our Thierry Henry moment. When he is converted to a striker from a winger . Emery knows him . Has watched him from afar and played against his teams. This is our only opportunity to get him as he will get better and better. I still think someone else will jump in ahead of us though .

Popular Post useless Posted June 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2023 He's just played 36 league games out of 38 for a team that finished eight in one of Europe's top leagues, the season before that he played 34 out of 38 leagues games, he's not some untested youngster or project player, a project player is someone with hardly any experience at top level at all, Williams has plenty despite young age. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 12 months left I'd say we'll pay less and insert a sell-on clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are usually ridiculous and way above the players value, like Messi his was over £1billion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a really good point actually. You would say Chambers, Dendonker, Digne are "experienced" players yet this kid has probably played more games than those three combined over the last two years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't. People keep posting 'theres a lot more noise online' as though it means anything. Same thing with Kang-In and then he joined PSG.

He's only 20 so open to lots of improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have already secured Youri and I think the other 3 that he really wants are Williams, Goncalves and Pau Torres. I would have thought that we would have to shell out £130m In transfer fees to secure the other 3 but I really hope that we can do it. Those are 4 big players who are next level to any of our previous NSWE signings. At what point do you think Youri became a main target? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
