wyn davies Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Ultimately regardless of what we think , we need a striker , he may be cr*p which could be down to a number of reasons but if he scores and we win on Saturday that'll be worth its weight in gold, though I have reservations about his stated fee.

Half of the players that have been touted for us are exactly that - Coutinho, Umtiti, Lingard, Ramsay, Dele Alli. Chris Wood is the same sort of thing over a shorter period of time, just obviously with a much lower ceiling (around a 1 in 3 striker) than those players. It's an unfashionable signing but I think it's a smart move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I dont agree at all. We might have a history of not creating many chances, but a lot of the few we did, we squandered. And in the very recent past, we've started to create a lot more chances relative to what we were, and we're seeing a lot more of the ball in the final third. And we have trouble soring. We have 1 finisher. Edited January 11, 2022 by Super Duper Branko Strupar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I'd be amazed if he was physically finished like.

Guest neesy111 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 It's certainly not a terrible signing as some have said, although £25m is pushing it a little. Just need him to hit the ground running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
