Cronky Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 56 minutes ago, Zero said: Osimhen will cost over 100m On the current scale, I think he's worth around £100m, but whether we'd be in a position to fork that out is something else, with FFP and other priorities in team building. With current one-striker systems, and the physical nature of the Premiership, it's a big asset to have a striker that's good at all three aspects of the role - holding the ball up, creating chances for team-mates, and finishing. Not many will be good at all three - eg Shearer, Kane, Suarez (surprisingly) - but it looks to me like Osimhen has that package. And he's still quite young, with re-sale value. Transfer fees are difficult to gauge at the moment, because I think we've finally hit a ceiling. I think the Neymar figure is likely to last a long time, if it gets beaten at all. The market got so crazy that the rich clubs, and the top players who are in demand, are deciding to wait until a contract runs down, or take advantage of a lower fee that's been built into a contract (eg Haaland) Famous last words, but for the foreseeable future, I think we'll see very few fees over £100m.

More power to him, I’m a jeans and t-shirt bloke myself, but I’d love to have the balls to go out and wear what he does and that other Everton player. It’s not men in dresses per say it’s part of the media’s deliberate blurring of the genders, the gender neutralising agenda, that’s going on right now. That’s another topic mind. Dresses aside his injury record would concern me, purely because of Wilson’s. So a no from me. If we got him I’d support him 100% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple this with the fact I think it’s only one season he’s has a good scoring record, there has to be better value out there. His injury record is no better or worse than 90% of footballers I’d guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 DCL can wear whatever the fuck he wants but it’s naive to pretend it would become an issue as soon as he hits some bad form for some fans. Plenty of folk were putting Maxis drop off down to being too interested in Helios. If the price is right though I’d definitely have DCL here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeepShow4life Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Don't want DCL as he seems injury prone and I think Wilson's better too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I honestly don’t think we should be looking to buy from fellow Premier League clubs. Very few players would be an upgrade on what we have or where we want to be, and the bigger clubs would be selling us their shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 If you buy prudently I don’t see the issue. Two of our best signings in Jan were lower profile PL players. You already have evidence that they can perform in the league. Main issue with buying Everton or Man United players is the inflated costs due to their poor business practices but if you’ve done the due diligence on their character and think they are the right fit then I see no issues.

Mazzy Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 We aren't in the position to pay £100m for anyone. Not because we couldnt afford it, but more because we can't risk a £100m flop who we'll have to offload in a year or 2 time for half that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 We need a striker who can reliably and consistently bang in 15+ goals per season. 20+ would be nice but your talking Salah levels of performance. While I love Wilson, his injury record will always go against him. DCL seems more of the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1964 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Do we think that signing paqueta could be a problem during international weeks? Two possibly three, if Joe gets a call up, first teamers away on long haul flights.

duo Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 DCL needs a season to prove his fitness before I'd even contemplate signing him. Everton won't sell him anyway. We also need a striker with pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make more of a difference this year though what with the World Cup being in the winter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
