Decky Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I really don't get this Calvert-Lewin stuff. Don't rate him at all and we could spend that money a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Valencia negotiates with Newcastle a transfer that will be around 40 million Newcastle have come for Mamardashvili and they do not want to drag out the operation. They trust that it will be closed before the Euro Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Getting him for only 10m - 15m more than we would get ramsdale for would be a hell of a deal for a keeper like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaj Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Can't believe a few people are turning their noses up at Bowen, he would be perfect for us! DCL on the other hand is possibly the only striker with a worse injury record than Wilson, would be a terrible signing! I read that they wanted £60m for him!

KaKa Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 From what I've read he's a similar profile to Pope. Big, commanding in the area, and a great shot stopper. Seems to be okay with the ball and distribution, but that's an improvement on Pope, who is below average on those. I like it. Don't think we necessarily need a keeper that is a ball player to the extent of those in the more control based sides, as that isn't really our whole approach. Just need a general uptick in distribution both short and long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) Not keen on Bowen. Strong player, just feel we need someone who’s more cute and creative on RW. Like we spent big on Barnes on LW, who IMO can do what Bowen does on that. Need some different style of players. Edited May 23 by Sibierski Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 40 million Euros is 3,407,000,000p at current exchange rate btw. Does feel like this big bearded Georgian one has some legs. He's clearly being sold this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 While we generally need more technically able players, who are comfortable with the ball at their feet, I'm not sure where this idea we lack creativity comes from. We scored a record number of goals last season, while our xG, big chances created and shot stats have been very good for two seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 30 minutes ago, STM said: Whenever I see a link to a player, first thing I do is find out who their agent it.... DCL has the same agent as.... Livramento, Barnes and Eddie Howe. I have no doubt that Howe is a fan of DCL the player and have no doubt that the player himself would jump at the chance. DCL is entering the last year of his current deal. His agent may just be using us to get his name out there to help secure a new contract. Or perhaps Everton are going to be making him available for a price that is very good value, which we might deem to be worth it. There's been reports that Everton are keen on Adebayo from Luton as a replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Bowen makes a lot of sense in a world of tifo podcast theories whereby your emulating Klopps Liverpool, Isak becomes the false nine with Bowen Barnes and Gordon going beyond. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most are only opposed to Bowen based on what we assume the price would be, plus the fact he'll turn 28 this season. He'd be perfect if money were no object.

STM Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 If DCL is in the last year, I wonder if a cut price deal is on the cards. In fact, it wouldn't shock me seeing Wilson go the other way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do appreciate that, it was more that I have seen a few do it on ability. I don't think we can get him for a reasonable price but if we can he seems a no brainer to me/ If you can add a right winger that will get you double figures to what we already have and with the players we have returning and the transfers we look like we are making then it looks to me like we could have a very successful season.

Deuce Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 1 hour ago, Nucasol said: Fuck me, replacing Wilson with Calvert-Lewin would just be: Except he’s 6 years younger than Wilson. Also think the permacrock label is a bit overblown. He missed half the season in each of 2021-22 and 2022-23 but has made at least 32 league appearances each year season since 2017-18, including last year. He’d be a decent addition as Isak’s #2.
