Not specific to us but a good piece about strikers who profile like Delap worth a read

Could Billy Gilmour be an option either on loan or for a fee? Not been a regular starter for Napoli this season but I'd take him as our first back-up midfielder.

You think he's better than Miley ?

Today? Yes. A couple of years time? Hopefully not.

He’s not the quality we should look at, not even as a back-up.

Really don't want any ankle biters like Ugarte, Gilmour, Lucas Leivas, Vurnon Anitas. Don't do anything in the grand scheme of things.

If Barnes was to go to Villa i could see us going for Ademola Lookman..We were after him in Jan 2020

I can never work out what people see in Gilmour. Hyped up in the media and bang average. When we spend we need to improve our starting 11. Our squad is pretty thin; be great if some of our current first 11 could become bench/ rotational options.

Whoever we sign must have great technical ability imo. Preferably with good physical attributes (to some degree at least)

Not much to ask for then

No it isn’t! Not asking for a player as strong and physical as Joelinton with Cherki’s technical ability.

And that would've been the exact right time to buy him, not now. Just like Gordon he was at the very bottom of his upward curve then and he's pretty much at his peak now.  He's not going to be worth what nowhere near what anyone pays for him now in two years.

 

It's why everyone wants Mbeumo, he will absolutely be worth the same if not more in two years time. Plus he's been on a steady upward climb for two seasons now and is just about to peak over the next couple of years.
