Rafalove Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Tbh, I’m not sure there was all that much hype around Toure. There does however seem to be around Anderson and Bobby Clarke. If those two fail, we know for sure our academy is shit. We already know that anyway ofcourse but there we would have even more evidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both in reality are fucking abysmal in the grande scheme of things in terms of top ability. Our academy is atrocious and that’s down to not even non league level of scouting, coaching, and facilities. And it’s been that way for decades, the likes of Gazza, Beardsley et al come through because street football was still a thing back then and they were naturally talented. Today they wouldn’t make it, both have said that btw and Waddle too. That’s scary! Edited June 1, 2021 by HTT II Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Reality is we should be structuring deals to sign Tammy Abraham and Joe Willock permanently, even if that means paying it over multiple years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s at least on par with the group underneath, just can’t see someone like Everton, Villa, Leeds paying £30m or whatever for him when they have DCL, Watkins and Bamford. Brighton, Palace or Wolves should be throwing everything at him. If we didn’t have Wilson we’d be in there too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve rated him since I heard Rafa was first after him and did some Jimenez type based YouTube scouting of him, seems a good character too and ambitious.

Fantail Breeze Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Why wouldn’t we sign him even with having Wilson? Our next striking option is either Joelinton, Gayle or Carroll ffs. Wilson also has regular injuries. Relying on one striker is why we nearly ended up in a relegation battle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many purples do you want in attack? Seriously though, not many clubs have two £30m level strikers beneath the elite clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s ambition, so it clearly won’t happen - but there is no reason why we should accept not going for Abraham because we already have one striker.
