Think his strike rate under ancellotti is probably more telling of what level he's at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 The player who underachieved the most compared to his xG. I guess that could be taken either way. But no thanks.... certainly nothing over £15m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I am one of the people happy to sign anyone. Anyone that Eddie wants is the obvious caveat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I learnt after the Gordon signing to never doubt the club/Howe again regarding transfers. That being said I’d go for someone other than DCL and I suspect we will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I've always rated DCL as a player. Was a nightmare to defend against a couple of years ago. I'd back the club to get him back to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexred Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 If DCL is £15M or under I'm not mad, but I can see it being £25M and I'd prefer someone else for that kind of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the whole reason people are happy to sell Wilson is because he's always injured? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 He's probably more injury prone than Wilson. Unless he's at a knockdown price I'd give him a miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Kinda sucks that we're having to look at players that we need to get back to their best. I'd prefer players who are in the early stages of their upwards curve. If this is the only way we can get around PSR then I guess so be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 1 hour ago, Matt1892 said: We were buying untapped potential with Gordon and Isak though. Signing DCL would be similar to signing Antony Martial from Man Utd, it is a signing that if any of the other clubs pushing for European football were to make we would be laughing at them, instead we are hoping Howe can work some magic with him. Only if they were signed as a starter. DCL won't be. Any striker we get, won't be. Isak is undisputed number one, just need someone who can be 2nd option, happy with that, and reliable to contribute with some quality. I'd rather get some exotic, but if they're not getting solid minutes, they may not settle and it's deemed a bad deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t about exotic by the way, Howe prefers players with Premier League experience unless they have a high ceiling and I don’t have an issue with that. What I would prefer is that we buy someone that can cover out wide and go through the middle to offer that depth all across the front line, at least that way we can interchange during games too.

If we can find someone as good as isak under the noses of everyone, surely we have more imagination that looking at DCL. Maybe our scouting team is seeing something I just don't with him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty important if you play with one man upfront, I'd say, but I bow down to your vastly superior knowledge. I don't think any other team in the top 8 would take him. I like his all-round game, he's a handful, but I'd keep Wilson if he was the alternative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
