SUPERTOON Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 14 minutes ago, KaKa said: If Chelsea never get that transfer ban, we probably never see the likes of Fikayo Tomori, Reece James and Mason Mount come through like they did, or even Tammy Abraham who had a really good season that year too. Watching their last few games, I think they have another gem on their hands in Lewis Hall at left back, but he's already got Cucurella and Chilwell ahead of him. I'd 100% be looking to snatch him up. Think Cucerella is expected to be sold this summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Just seen an article that says we had one of our scouts Mick Tait at the Coventry vs Luton game to scout Viktor Gyokeres. What's really interesting, that I didn't realise, is that he was actually brought to the UK by Brighton under Ashworth at 18 years old, and they were the ones that sold him to Coventry. Last twist is that he featured internationally for Sweden last year and played alongside Isak, who spoke well of him after the game and enjoyed playing with him. Maybe one to keep an eye on, as a fairly priced third striker option with some upside to eventually take Wilson's place longer term, that will be happy to be part of the rotation in the meantime, as Wilson's fitness is unreliable.

Think we need another legit striker option, because just Isak and Wilson could get tricky, due to Wilson's propensity to miss games through injury. Our current wide options are ASM, Gordon, Almiron, Murphy and Isak can feature in those positions too if needed. Think we just need another higher end right side option to compete with Miggy. Gyokeres has been the focal point for Coventry and so have only seen him play up top, but reading some scout reports, he can apparently do a job wide left too.

He is a kind of Pogba who plays more advanced as a shadow striker. The hype around him was monstrous at the time of the 2018 World Cup, but he was very bad. Think about it, at the age of 28 he still hasn't managed to leave Lazio. There's something about him that doesn't appeal to the big European teams, unless he's being sold for a "discount", like now.

Stottie Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I would assume Pedro signed for Brighton so early in the window because we've not been back in for him, and the reason for that is we must have other striker targets lined up. Even if Pedro's first choice were Brighton, Watford would want to maximize the fee and not accept the first offer. It may well be someone old or young and versatile enough to play anywhere in the front three, but I would expect us to sign someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
