As Ekitike clearly isn't a target man (not yet anyway). As for his goal haul being lucky, as I've seen a couple of posts about it, I think @ManDoon has a point about him looking very composed in a few of his goals. I'm obviously not putting him on Messi's level but you'll see with a lot of Messi's goals it looks like he has all the time in the world before putting it past the keeper as he doesn't panic, Ekitike seems to have that quality about it. He also has a new quality terrace anthem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am unconvinced he is worth the price (from my own bullshit youtube scouting), and I hope I am wrong. The thing I noticed was how surprisingly effective he was at holding it up despite his slim frame, and it's because he plays with a lot of competitiveness and also receives the ball very well with some delightful first touches and flicks. Really like the personality and flair he plays with. Think he'll be successful, and a very popular player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyCisse Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Little YouTube scout and he likes to hit it early, looks hard to play against too. Think he’ll free up so much space for ASM and Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 To get ten goals in the French top-flight at his age in his debut season is no mean feat, he’s clearly talented. Could be ASMs replacement… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Would be really pleased at this signing. If we could rely on Wilson staying fit, I’d say we wouldn’t even need to make another striker signing after this. Although after this I’d be prioritising CB, LB and a DM. Good to see we’re in the market early and pleasing to see it’s the right type of signing and a reasonable cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 The one thing some of the Bournemouth posters have said on here is that Howe has always had a mean eye for a young player, he tends to get most of these decisions right and he knows who he can work with and improve - and to be fair he's got a very good record in doing so. Even some of the so called flops such as Solanke eventually came good. Ibe is the only out and out flop I can think of. Usually a player being 19-20 and not having any history in any of the international youth teams would suggest there's not much of a pedigree and we're paying the premium for one decent season and therefore taking all the risk. But Howe knows the score and will have gained a lot of goodwill from his work so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I'm very in favour of this transfer, he seems an exciting young talent, a fairly unknown quantity and has done very well so far at his age. He made the right call in not joining in January, has continued to improve and I'm excited to see him develop with us, bring it on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel so bad for Ibe as I remember him coming through initially at Liverpool and showing some really exciting ability. He ended up struggling off the pitch with some mental health issues that messed things up for him at Bournemouth, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) I know this isn't the Ashley era anymore, but I can't relax with any potential signing until he is 100% confirmed.
