AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) I would say “almost 30m” isn’t too bad. Could be a good signing, or could not be, but he’s young and obviously fits the profile we want. Edited August 17, 2022 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Not sure about the negativity to be honest. We’ve seen players with far less ability improve in the right set ups and Howe is great at developing players. I like him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to compare. I do think Harrison is going to have hell of a season for Leeds by the looks of it though Yeah. I just get the feeling Harrison is at his peak, and a somewhat guaranteed success at the right price, which Leeds wouldn't accept. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 15 minutes ago, Flip said: I do agree that £35m might be a tad expensive. But you really need to look away from his goal scoring. He's turning 21 year old and is highly rated by the Watford fans that watch him week in week out. After all, Ekitike (who we were after for long) went for £35m and 2 seasons ago he scored 3 goals in the Danish league. If the club, and especially Howe is willing to pay that sum for him we need to trust their decision. *the more brazilians the better for the club. He’s been bought as a back up striker. Obviously goals are going to be consideration. As good as his potential may be Let’s be honest he’s struggled to affect games against Birmingham, Burnley & West Brom so far this season.

We offer £20m, they ask for £35m. We offer £25m they ask for £32m. We'll meet somewhere in the middle around £28-30m would be my guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Howe played Wilson and King up front for the majority of his time in the PL with Bournemouth I don't think it's out of the question that we could go two up front if we get the right personnel in place to play it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonsays Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Similar price to what we had agreed for Ekiteke. Perhaps he doesn't have the same potential but he has experience of the league, is settled in the country and seems to be keen on the move. If Eddie likes him, I'm happy.

STM Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Would be a solid signing. He's a player with huge potential. Eddie Howe is a fantastic coach and even if he only manages to get another 25% out of the lad he will likely hold most of his value in the transfer market. Whatever fee we pay will be heavily incentivised, based on performance and future achievements too. For the lad himself, it will be great for him to play alongside fellow Brazilians, who will make him feel immediately at home. I wouldn't be surprised if those little details don't bring him up a level.Fingers crossed we can get him in for Tranmere. With Joao Pedro, Anderson, Willock and Botman we can finally see some potential stars of the future. Some won't make it, as is life but hopefully one or two can become big players for us in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 To be positive, he’s very young but already had a lot of experience. Also, Wilson will be a great striker for him to learn from as his off the ball movement and game sense is top notch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think the club (if) is buying him as a back up striker rather than for his potential and what he could develop into, then I can't help you.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) The type of player(s) we need is going to make these transfers difficult and potentially a bit unsatisfying for some fans. There's no established PL goalscorer who's as good as Wilson and would come as backup to him. There are not many wide players who would have striker-level goal numbers and would be happy to play wide one week and be useful up front the next. One route we could have gone is to spent massive money to upgrade on Wilson and ASM right now. But I guess for various reasons we decided that's not the way to go in this window. Also we know we need to get much better in a lot of positions, but that will obviously take time. For a signing in isolation and not comparing him to whoever... I think Joao Pedro is pretty exciting. Say we added Pedro and Gallagher, I think we would have significantly improved our attacking threat even though we didn't really sign a "backup striker".

Kid Icarus Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) I don't think there's anything wrong with saying that getting close to £35m for a player who's already played in the premier league and not really caught the eye is eye-watering like. Bruno cost that, Ekitike who's gone to PSG was a lower fee. Unless they rate him very highly it's an obvious risk for a player that, at least to the eye of the layman, doesn't look as much of a prospect as other players we've looked at.

He might not have the same potential as Ekitike, but he's more PL ready. If he can contribute and maintain is value, then this transfer is a down payment on the next level. Alternatively he turns out to be better than Ekitike and we've saved a fortune. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
