McCormick Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Really like him but not sure why we’d jump straight in with a 35m bid though? Surely you’d start at 25 and negotiate from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Diaby and Gordon are mainly both potential at the moment. Diaby's numbers were much better in an inferior league, but they both have high ceilings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorukata Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Attila Szalai !! Do not want Would love Galatasaray player Marcão for the DM position. Young, not as expensive as the other options. (30 mio €) he's going to be absolutely brilliant. Brazilian and Left Foot https://www.transfermarkt.com.tr/marcao/profil/spieler/439022 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mansour Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I am really happy with the wide players that we have been linked with. Michael Olise is my favourite out of the three, particularly for the rumoured price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he obviously has something and works incredibly hard. He seems a fairly traditional run-down-the-line type to me, which might be a benefit if the other side is ASM cutting in. Isn’t much like our other targets though, which is a little odd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I think he's an excellent player every time I've seen him. Yes he's a bit of a cunt and the diving is disappointing but I'd gladly take him. Anyhoo, unlikely to happen this window, as said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, fair enough. Not sure he’s worth any more than 35, but it’s nice to be in a situation where we can bully little old Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonBez comesock Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 9 minutes ago, ponsaelius said: Diaby is a full French international (started recent games) who scored 17 goals and got 14 assists last season. Has 3 full proper seasons behind him for a European level team. Gordon has had only half a season of being dangerous and looked promising for a struggling side where contributing any kind of energy on the pitch was of value. 4 goals and 2 assists last season. Obviously the latter is a year younger and playing in a stronger league but honestly Gordon is just buzz at the moment. He could become a good player but it's no sure thing. He hasn't shown anything more than Tom Davies did when he first broke into their team. Leave it to those in charge They are more than competent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already starting games for France who have probably the strongest national side in the world. He has 3 full seasons behind him. Obviously at his age there is clear room for growth too but there is output and reputation in the here and now. Gordon has only really had half a season of looking like a promising PL player. I rate him and he's showed a lot of promise but it's not a sure thing. I think 35 million is a big gamble. Looking at Grand Old Team it's a mix of 'take the money' or wanting to keep him purely out of principle as they dont want another player to leave or wouldn't want to see him come to us.

HaydnNUFC Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) I'm sure he's a talent has a high ceiling but £35m+ for a good half season? His FBRef stats are also shite. No thanks. Diaby at £45m-£60m is still much better value. Hope we don't pursue this one. Edited July 6, 2022 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Whoever they decide to go for, I'm comfortable with. We have to trust Howe and Ashworth here. People saying "fuck no" are probably the same ones that said similar when we signed Targett and Burn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
