The College Dropout Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 2 hours ago, sushimonster85 said: I'd love Tammy, but he will come with the 'talented young English player' tax, so we'd likely have to pay £50m. But I would honestly take Tammy over most other options. He was good when he left for Roma, and has both improved technically, and bulked up significantly over there. The others will cost similar amounts. 1 hour ago, Ikon said: Abraham is a good finisher but he doesn’t impress me in general play. This is my opinion of him. Has the sniff in front of goal of finding his way on to the end of good opportunities and a solid finisher. Obviously good physicality in terms of pace and size. But never been impressed with his all round game. It’s the big reason I think Tuchel didn’t fancy him at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 We’re not signing Jesus. For one, his wages would be over double the next highest earner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 3 hours ago, The College Dropout said: At 24 - Aguero had scored over 150 professional goals. Including 4 seasons scoring 17+ goals in La Liga and PL. By way of comparison - Nkuku has 62 professional goals. I use Aguero as a proxy for a legitimate wonderkid who has delivered to some degree already. I agree with the lad that says there's a dearth of top attacking talent at young ages. At 24/25 only Tammy, & Rashford spring to mind as players that have multiple seasons in a topflight club scoring 15+ goals in a season and are close to scoring 100+ goals as a pro. Schick is 26 and just scored more than 11 league goals for the first time in his career. Not to say they can't improve or whatever. But we are talking a lot of money. Obviously Vlahović, Mbappe & Haaland are out on their own and have already secured massive transfers. Nkuku is not really an out and out striker is he though? Played most of his games as a midfielder or a winger until very recently I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Suprised that Jesus is on 90k, would have thought more like 150k+. He'd be looking for a fair pay rise here though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Just after the 14 minute mark in Howe's pre Burnley presser he's asked about Henderson and, while dismissing the suggestion we are close to signing anyone, he says 'we're not at any advanced stage with that'. I wonder if this was a slight slip which reveals we are in for Henderson? Watched it a couple of times and cant be sure if he's speaking generally or specifically about a Henderson deal.

PeepShow4life Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Even if Jesus is on 90k a week it doesn't mean he's gonna come to us for the same wage. Abraham would be perfect, not sure if he would come though. If not I'd try for Schick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paqueta is the likeliest link. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
