Dokko Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Surely we can get Celtics Dembele for £20m and reasonable wages. Would certainly have a better resale value. Didn’t Celtic reject a bid from Brighton for him in the summer for £20m? Three was talk of a £18.5m bid but not sure what happened. Celtic are also keen on Gayle from what I've been told.

Wallsendmag Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Scottish league is weaker than the Dutch league and they have similar domestic goalscoring records. Dembele was also class in the Championship as an 18/19 year old for Fulham. Really highly rated in France, got into the provisional France squad at the start of this season, had a hat trick for their u21s lately too Gayle was class in the Championship. Mitrovic is clinical at International level for Serbia yet neither can cut it in the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkhead Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I'm sure there's more to that Jorgensen fella than what's on youtube but he doesn't look anything special from those highlights. We need a CF with strength AND pace if he is to lead the line by himself. Most importantly, we need a player who is tough mentally. Joselu, for example has alright attributes but bad games and missing chances obviously affects his confidence so much that he becomes useless.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 We need someone who Rafa is prepared to accept and Ashley is prepared to release the money for. Can't be a massively long list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Scottish league is weaker than the Dutch league and they have similar domestic goalscoring records. Too close to call I think, the Scottish league is woeful but the Dutch League isn't far behind it if you think that Luuk De Jong can win the title and score shitloads of goals.

Infinitely Content Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Can't believe we're breaking our transfer record on a tall player. Low even for Ashley's standards this. Get Kelvin from Porto ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The thing is, a £20 million forward shouldn't be breaking our record transfer. In simple terms he should be 4 times the player of Joselu, but given the difference in their respective clubs desires to keep them that difference is narrowed. How much? Time, if he signs, will probably tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Yeah. If £20million is all we are prepared to spend, you have to accept that in today's market that represents a risk. Rafa is better than most when it comes o trusting with that risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I like the look of Jorgensen from the clips I've watched. Tall but doesn't look lumbering at all. Looks pretty mobile and athletic to me. Finishes with conviction and confidence too. Would be a big upgrade for us I think. I could see him coming in and having the kind of impact Grazziano Pelle had for Southampton a few seasons ago. Don't remember too many thinking Pelle would amount to what he did either. It's so hard to make any judgement really. I'd just be happy knowing that Rafa got someone he scouted and rates. Come on the toon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Rafas got some highly questionable transfers on his resume and given the state of some of the goalscorers that have come to England from the eredivisie previously (excluding the minority that showed star talent as a teenager) I'd say the scepticism towards this transfer is more than justified.
