Top scorer in Belgium this season. Bit of a late bloomer, emerging striker that made his international debut this season. Different profile from Isak. Big physical presence at 6 foot 6, and has a huge leap so is really good in the air. Surprisingly mobile. Nice movement in the box. Can be brought along and developed further still as is only just now starting to make some headway. Probably one we are considering to replace Wilson. Would love someone like him. Would probably cost similar to what Osula did and would be a real plan B option to throw in if we are desperate against a low block. Young and cheap enough that there's basically no risk involved too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know quite a few people had said they'd prefer another striker that offered something a bit different as a plan B, but that also had room to grow too. Rather than going down the route of getting another older premier league veteran like Calvert-Lewin. Coming in from Belgium and not yet being fully established, a secondary role to Isak is also not likely to be an issue. The article says Genk would be after around £15 million, so indeed similar to the Osula deal. Wages would be cheap too. Another thing about this type of player is I think he'd be an easy sale to Saudi for at least double what is paid for him if things don't work out, just based on his season in Belgium alone. I think Howe and the recruitment team would really have to believe in the player's ability and potential to opt for someone like him as the backup ahead of a Calvert Lewin though. The article says Howe in particular wants him and so we'll see how true that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted yesterday at 17:22 Share Posted yesterday at 17:22 Wish all this DCL shit would stop. We need to be creative, take some risks, and do something different. DCL is a bruce/ashley signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels a bit PFM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels a bit PFM Yeah but IMO it's still effective if the opposition is just sitting in a low block in their box. This kid based on that video is still good on the ground too. It's just not easy to win headers against someone who is two metres tall and better teams than us have stuck a big man up front recently in late stages of a match like Joselu at Real Madrid.

Pata Posted yesterday at 18:11 Share Posted yesterday at 18:11 (edited) Appreciation of height and athleticism have seen a bit of a resurgence lately IMO after the era of short technical players keeping possession no matter what. Pep playing four CBs to help with set piece defending and buying Haaland, Arsenal's big focus on set pieces and how well we've done with Eddie who clearly loves a big and athletic team. Was reading Redcafe after Sunday and so many Man Utd fans were crying about how weak and unfit their team looked against us.
