Personally think Pedro would be a better fit, but we did seem to really rate the French lad. Good question. Would both be out of the question? Pedro can play across the Front 3 can’t he. Not sure about Ekitike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon this is agent talk. Can't see us spending £30m+ a CM who turns 31 in November and would likely want a weekly wage that would make him our highest earner.

Not sure about Ekitike Pretty sure Pedro was desperate to come here, whereas Ekiteke was always more keen on PSG, I think that might be a big factor now. I doubt we'd go for them both after signing Isak, in fact even signing one of them might be wishful thinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) 31m is a bargain for a player of his quality and pedigree tbf. We’re likely looking at younger players so I doubt it’s true but man… a midfield of Bruno, Brozovic and one of the Joe’s would be so, so good.

Unless we think Kuol is ready to be a first team squad player next season we need a younger striker. Wilson as the wily senior statesman, Isak as the main man and a final option that we see as a good squad option but with a high growth ceiling. Pedro is the man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brozovic would cost more than double, and is already on 180k a week at Inter, so would likely want 200k p/w. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like someone who wants to be playing week in, week out. If West Ham had any nous they'd chuck in £10-12m bid for him, if for nothing else than to stop him scoring. If that happens I can see the club letting him go provided we sign another younger forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only one injury away from starting at the Bernabeau or similar. No chance he leaves. To go and play for West Ham?????? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
