OCK Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 No club wanting to touch Ronaldo is kinda funny. What a way to see your career fade out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is he could have agreed with some other club before going public with his desire to leave, just like what Lewa did. Apparently he assumed clubs would be lining up for his service. Even if he realized now that Man United is his only option, it would be too embarrassing to just walk back to the training and be like :” Hey guys”.

Firstly they’ll have to figure out where to play him The guy they bought from Porto - where does he play? I think Zinchenko plays CM and covers LB/LW when needed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 West Ham agree fee of £30m, with possibly £5m add ons for Scamacca. Must admit, I did think we would be differentiating ourselves from the likes of West Ham (and Villa) this window with a few statement signings, to bridge the gap and possibly be expected to finish above them, but as it is, thus far, they've both had stronger windows, and it'll take good management, crowd support, and continued momentum for us to be close to them, especially West Ham, rather than it being the expectation, unless things significantly change in the coming weeks. Obviously it's mainly covering their backs and anticipated money, but those odds of being the 7th favourites for the league, top 4, w/o big 6 etc. look pretty optimistic at the moment. https://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/top-6-finish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Going back to Scamacca. We've been credited with an interest in Isak since the takeover and tried to buy Ekitike. To me that sounds like we're after a player who can play across the front line and who will help our ball retention in the final third. Scamacca would help with neither of those things. While I do think they've overpaid a bit, he should suit West Ham's style of play, even if they create less chances than Sassuolo do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been credited with an interest in lots of forwards DCL, Toney, Broja, Mara, Sesko & Scamacca.

I'm not sure you really bid for players nowadays to show interest. I think you have a conversation and see how far apart you are. We probably did with Reims as it sounded like they accepted terms but Ekitike and his agent didn't want to come to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do think they've overpaid a bit, he should suit West Ham's style of play, even if they create less chances than Sassuolo do. From the little I've seen of him Scamacca's calling card is his really good hold up and link up play. Every scout report you read on him also supports this. Not sure why you don't think his ball retention is good. He's more of a technical sort than a robust powerful type though, so not sure if it will work out with Moyes to be honest. Could see it ending up like it did for Haller. https://www.scoutedftbl.com/best-young-football-players/gianluca-scamacca/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
