Sibierski Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 (edited) I don’t mind DCL. Literally a back up striker for at worse, one season. If I could think of some good strikers that would cost less than £10m then sure, but I can’t. Howe clearly favours experience in that 2nd striker and him coming on for final 20 of games isn’t some roof falling in stuff.

Andy84 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I’ve decided to be positive. If Eddie wants him then we should trust that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I think Howe could get the best out of him but if it also facilitates Mbuemo and Guehi then fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I'm in a minority but I'd take him as a backup striker on a reasonable financial package. He has ability and I think Howe could get something out of him. The thing that puts me off is his horrific injury record. It's obviously taken a toll on his body, how much is the question.

Pilko Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I don't love this as a signing, but I'm alright with it. If it means we can go flex our spending muscles on GK, CB and RW as a result then it's a very sensible pickup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 My main issue with him is his fitness record. He's already missed 110 days this year, and we're only 153 days in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Finding a genuine back up to a guaranteed starter and world class striker is genuinely quite difficult even for clubs bigger than ourselves TBF. Spurs had this problem for years given Kane played every game. They found a solution in Son who could also play through the middle when he was out but even then they always also had some experienced jobs body CF to fill a squad place as rotation - e.g. Llorente. If we signed a top quality wide player who can genuinely also play through the middle as well as sign quality in other positions then I could just a out accept this knacker as a Wilson replacement.

But not needing to play every game and chase lost causes may help? It’s a low bar to be more reliable than Wilson though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about this guy as back up and Gordon/Osula as 3rd choice if needed! Leave the skirt wearing knacker far from our cloob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 It’s just like for like with Wilson really although different players. Body is knackered and he’s low on fitness and confidence. It might work out but who’s to say.. the idea is to take some of the pressure off Isak.. I just can’t see that with someone who will either continue to be injured or take very long to get up to speed with how we play. Hope it’s bullshit.
