John P Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-closing-9million-wolfsburg-hotshot-5883039? Newcastle are closing in on the £9million signing of Dutch striker Bas Dost. The 26-year-old, who scored 16 goals in the Bundesliga for Wolfsburg last season, is ready to sign a four-year deal. Bost scored 19 goals in all competitions last term, including an astonishing run of 14 goals in just nine games, four of them in a 5-4 win over Leverkusen. He also scored in their German Cup Final win against Dortmund. The 6ft 5in striker has two caps for the Netherlands, both won in March. So 14 goals in 9, which means 5 in the other 27 (wiki says he played 36 games). That was a James Beattie-esque run of form Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I don't understand why he'd leave to join us when Wolfsburg are in the Champions League and he's been first choice striker all season. Unless he's worried they're going to sign a few strikers this summer and he wants to be in the Dutch Euro 2016 squad so has to play regularly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he's worried they're going to sign a few strikers this summer and he wants to be in the Dutch Euro 2016 squad so has to play regularly Reckon they've probably seen him for what he is, fairly limited and want to upgrade now they're in the CL and have more cash to spend.

Must be very confident of bringing in at least two good quality strikers in then as their next option is Bendtner Sure I read Mandzuckic was going to Juventus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Wolfsburg have wanted shot for a while. He's your typical big man forward, looked like an absolute bull in a China shop for large parts of the season but a purple patch circa January/February time make his stats look respectable.

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 If true, why has Graham Carr fallen for this? Putting it politely, Dost's not very good. Let's be honest even if Carr doesn't rate him, it doesn't make a blind bit of difference to whether we buy him or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 If true, why has Graham Carr fallen for this? Putting it politely, Dost's not very good. Let's be honest even if Carr doesn't rate him, it doesn't make a blind bit of difference to whether we buy him or not. For sure. If given the choice between Austin for £15mil or Dost for £9mil, who do you think Charnley would go for? You're absolutely right, the answer is Kenwyne Jones for £3mil.

sempuki Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Dutch players make sense for several reasons but was hoping we would get players closer to Van Dijk and Wijnaldum. Don't know much about Dost but he doesn't sound very exciting. Still cheaper than Austin and Berahino and that's the most important thing after all.

Andy84 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Quick wiki of his stats he's been roughly 1 in 2 games over his career. 38 goals in 39 games for Herenveen in 2011-2012? Or is he Peter Crouch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 He's got goals in him but he looks clumsy whenever i'v watched him. He also looks like a player who's confidence would be shot if he starting feeling the pressure here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eredivisie is a very strange league when it comes to goals. You basically have to take the statistics with a quarry load of salt. Afonso Alves had a much better record than Ronaldo, Luis Suarez and Ruud van Nistelrooy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
