sushimonster85 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Schick would be a very good signing. Though I'm sure there was a £50m+ figure on him in Jan. He isn't worth that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get him in the £30-£40m range he is a fantastic signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I'm undecided on Schick. He has all the attributes to be a solid striker and he's got a decent enough goal scoring record in the Bundesliga, but as we've seen in recent years it's always a gamble buying forwards from Germany (Weghorst, Werner, Haller and Jovic have all flopped for example). Plus I'm not sure he has the all round game that Howe is after. For the prices quoted, I think we'll look elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I got a bit of a hard on after watching clips of Gianluca Scamacca after seeing we were linked with him yesterday. Seems like the perfect striker for us. Think that would be my #1 target for striker in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 He was featured on a Tifo Youtube vid I watched the other day. Genuinely never heard of him, but they likened him to Peter Crouch plus the ability to strike from a canny distance, which I'd be all over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Scamacca is still a bit raw for 23 year old and he comes with quite a bit of personal baggage. I like him but think he'd flop badly in England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Hadn't heard of him until yesterday myself either He's at a good age (turned 23 in January) where if he needs time to adapt we can afford to bed him in with having Wilson available. He's already been abroad at PSV so moving away from Italy shouldn't be a big shock as he will already have an idea of what it's like to live abroad. If you youtube "WHO IS GIANLUCA SCAMACCA? The Future Inter Number 9?" there's a guy that does a pretty decent analysis of what type of player he is. He seems like a more atheltic version of Crouch imo, and seems quite good defensively as well (good pressing and tackles). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I think the biggest worry I have with these oversea signings, is the risk that they might get home Schick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 If we go abroad we have to go "the next big thing" or someone we've identified as a real top talent if we're spending £30m+. I'm not sure if I trust our scouting to find the next Sadio Mane from Austria. And if we do, it needs to be as a rotation option for less than £20m odd. I'd rather the likes of Toney & Abraham before Patrick Schick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him and Eriksen from Brentford and we'll see a massive improvement in our attacking play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Could have misread, but I'm pretty sure €80 million was being quoted for Abraham. That said Toney would be silly money as well, you're probably talking £50 million plus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Yeah I reckon there'll be one £50-60m striker then a few in the Bruno range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
