HaydnNUFC Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Test Leeds out by sticking their reported £65m asking price for Raphinha on the chebble. Would be a great signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Im genuinely happy that we aren’t looking to sign big names that are overpaid and has beens. Don’t want a circus. Very much like the idea of going the Dortmund/Leicester route for example. Never mind in the beginning. Edited June 23, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was great for a good stretch of the season Probably could have done with a rest and the burden of scoring removed from his young shoulders, his all-round game is decent and at that age so I wouldn’t worry about goal returns just yet. Plus Southampton are more possession than chances created. He’s a talent, I’d have him here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekitike would be my first choice based on potential and I reckon we’ll find out quickly if his agent is going to out himself as a soy boy beta cuck now that we’re outwardly looking at other targets Edited June 23, 2022 by gbandit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Aye Lee we're not spending lavishly, we're just bidding £60m for a couple of youngsters to add to the £25m we've already spent Nobody is expecting us to be bidding £80m for players, and Leicester don't have the same ability to build year on year.

SUPERTOON Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Broja will cost more than Etikite I would think and is not in anyway the same type of player. I’ve never seen the other lad mentioned play so can’t comment on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke probably wasn’t too far off with £90m You might be right. But it’s too early to say I think. Even if our budget was 200m then we would have to make some smart moves anyway to be able to afford expensive players too. Also the first window kind of sets the tone a bit. Maybe we don’t want to show our hand too early either. I think we are ambitious, really ambitious but also a bit cautious to begin with. I reckon our slightly more expensive signings might come in a bit later. Not players like Osimhen though. We don’t wanna send signals that we can spend whatever, or even close.

I’ve never seen the other lad mentioned play so can’t comment on him. Broja is quoted at £25 to £30 million, so it will be in the same ballpark. Ekitike, Broja and Gouiri are all strikers that can drop into space or move into the channels to get involved in play and run at people with the ball, they aren't too dissimilar at all. Gouiri and Ekitike play with more flair, while Broja is more of a direct powerful runner with the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Only going by clips but Gouiri looks good. Looks to me a better bet than Ekitike, in fact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) He’s much more refined from the little I’ve seen. Not quite as raw. He has that natural touch and ball control that reminds me of Bernardo Silva and HBA. Even if different players. Sticky ball kind of. Not the raw and practiced skill that ASM has for example. I think Gouiri will be some player for the next 10 years. Probably more expensive than Ekitike., but worth it imo. Natural left sided forward who can also play when CW is out. Even if a different player as a CF. Also provide competition for ASM. Versatility is good to have. Get DCL in and one of Wilson and him will be on the bench offering next to nothing. Will give us more options and plenty of game time for everyone. Edited June 23, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
