Ameritoon Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Damn, he was was amazing for me in FM17, so was Hirving Lozano. Great two transfer windows from PSV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Good God. We need this takeover asap. Brighton splashing out £18m on a striker ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Seems a very weird one, mind. £18m is a very modest price tag for someone so highly rated in today's market, plus I thought he had the pick of Europe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Would be mega jealous of Brighton if they pull off that coup. Hope we're the second club, or he goes abroad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 That's cracking value, I'm sure in the summer the price being reported was more than double that. It's a shame we can't compete with sovereign states like Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I'm sure we're in a position to match any offer Brighton make both to the club and player...if we don't it'll be down to Rafa not fancying him. Rafa will probably want someone a bit more physical and certainly more experienced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I wanted him in the summer when he was supposed to go to OM for £20m. At that price we should be all over him, takeover or no takeover. If the takeover is close then no doubt we would be a more attractive position with Rafa at the club than Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 No way he goes there. Aye, that price going public should drive other buyers into the frame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Surely someone like Liverpool will take a punt on him for that money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Guessing the bigger clubs want to wait a few years before taking the plunge? At the moment he's done no more than Scott Sinclair, Nathan Redmond, etc. Good in the Championship/SPL, probably is good enough for the Premier League but no way of knowing yet. Could see him at a mid-table or lower Premier League level club first (Southampton, Stoke, us or someone of that ilk) before the elite start considering him.

Decky Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Yeah and I guess that's part of the problem with today's market. I mean they could invest in him for what is a cheap price in today's market and maybe loan him out to the likes of us or Brighton. But instead if he comes good there then the big clubs will be paying insane money for him in 18 months or more as per usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I’ve not seen him play, but you have to bear in mind the SPL is probably on a par with the lower end of the Championship/Top end of League One. If he’s as talented as people make out, a move to Brighton could turn out a great move and if he establishes himself and becomes a top player, he’ll move to a top club anyway.

They'd probably prefer to pay £40-50m when he's the finished article than under half of that, loan him out for a couple of years when it's uncertain. Spurs probably the exception.

No doubt any young player who is showing promising signs will have some sort of ‘big club’ release clause included in their contracts in anyway. I would bet he would even have a ‘Premier League club’ or ‘Premier League club in Europe’ release clause in his Celtic contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fair point, if he was world class at this stage playing in that Celtic team be should be getting 50 or 60 goals really. I could be wrong but I don't think he's come anywhere near that level.
