SUPERTOON Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 If it allows us to get in a top class RW and CB then it’s understandable. Bit of pressure to get those deals right mind given Kelly, Trafford and DCL would hardly be taking us up a level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 DCL would take up a significant chunk of our transfer budget and become one of our highest paid players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Great move tbh. Leak these interests, and then sit back and watch Chelsea gazump the offer. Then pursue actual targets once they're spent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 5/7 seasons he's played 32 or more league games. If Wilson could have been that available we'd have been laughing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Really hope this isn’t true. Would rather roll the dice on Wilson being fit than spend a chunk of our budget on him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're making a lot of assumptions there - what our budget is, how much he would cost (last year of his contract), how much his wages would be. If he's £15-20m, on £70k/week and selling Wilson & Almiron still allows us to spend £50-60m on a RW it doesn't look so gloomy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 His injury record is a worry but he is quite considerably an inferior player to Wilson irrespective of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Interesting that Howe's signed Chris Wood and is now going for DCL, obviously a plan there to have two very different strikers at the club. I don't mind that at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoOGazOoO Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I have never seen the fascination about DCL, literally hope this one is just a smokescreen for something else, would be a rather underwhelming signing in my view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s supposedly on around £120k a week at Everton, he’s not going to take a paycut. My guess is he would cost at least £25m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppaz Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 1 hour ago, ExiledGeordie said: He's literally exactly what we need but the injuries are a concern (though I haven’t looked into his exact record to be fair) Watched him at St James when we were linked and it was pissing down. He was getting no change out of our defence and we beat them 3 nil. He got tackled just before half time but you could see his head had dropped and he failed to show for the second half. I think that was the game where Livro walked the ball in to the Wolve's net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 So Howe is full in control over transfers then, he's wanted DCL for a while. Not a fan but willing to give him a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 If we get him for £10m/£15m and on relatively cheap wages, I'm not against it as a second choice striker, as he'll give us a different dimension depending on the game. Any more then that, no thanks. That said it's only Edwards reporting it, so it's probably BS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has, the hope would have to be that Howe could enable him to rediscover the kind of form he showed under Ancelotti. A little bit like Rondon was transformed under Rafa after years labouring under Pulis et al at WBA. Seems like a big risk though for any kind of major fee, especially with our financial limits this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
