aussiemag Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 The club value him at round 60 milliion according to Mark Douglas. Who would be a good striker signing in the offseason? Goncalo Ramos, Darwin Nunez, Nicolas Jackson, Liam Delap? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Really depends if we’re planning to run with this system we’ve seen with Woltemade behind a main striker. If so the person has to have elite stamina and speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 His first goal was the moment he looked like a PL striker. Can't remember a calm one on one like that from him before. Hopefully he's turned the page now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he's turned the page now. It went in and it was on his weaker foot. So I’m being overly critical. But it wasn’t a great finish IMO. Was right at the keeper and I think it goes through/under his legs as he is diving. Bit of luck involved there. I think he’ll always be erratic as fuck with his finishing. But his movement and when to go all out like a dog going after a ball and when to make the right run etc. Has come on loads. I also like that he plays off both feet and has that unpredictability about him. Imagine trying to defend against all those limbs hurtling towards you at 20MPH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any new signing is a risk, as Eddie put it yesterday. Osula is settled in Newcastle, knows our systems/tactics and is starting to show end product. It’s crazy to say this now but I would rather stick with him than try a Nunez or Ramos who aren’t guaranteed successes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goncalo Ramos, Darwin Nunez, Nicolas Jackson, Liam Delap? Ramos, Jackson and Delap all under 25. Nunez 26. The first two feel like they’ve been around forever and Nunez in his twilight years. I fancy Ramos, but not the price we’d have to pay. Can see him at Chelsea. Delap would be fine, but is he even an upgrade on Osula at this point?

Dokko Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Sell Wissa to Saudi. Bring in Nunez on a free. Happy to go with Osula, Wolt & Nunez next season and invest heavily in gk, defenders and def mid who can protect them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 1 hour ago, Fenham Mag said: I’m happy with our striking options being him, Woltemade and a wissa replacement next season. I wonder if we’ll see Elanga in a central forward role too like we saw with Gordon. Well, that would be something to see all right. I suppose it's further to miss-control the ball out of play.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Think being confident that Nunez will have the heart to take a pay cut and come back to the PL and graft for Eddie is going to be difficult mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 There’s definitely a player in him but it’s mad how he goes from utter dog turd to the best forward in the league within minutes! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Just now, joeyt said: Did a good one against Bournemouth too Keep reading he is/was a poor finisher but he typically scores or hits the target and has it saved. He's up there in conversion rate this season and is far outperforming his expected goals. Aside from that I don't even recall any glaring misses where he's skied it over like Wissa has been doing this season, or just missed the target completely and made a complete mess of a chance.

SAFC L Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 3 hours ago, Sidg said: No idea what the club does, and I won't blame them either way. New contract or 40-45m sale. A weirdly luxurious position for us. The problem is that he's the only CF asset at a time when we need to start trading. The thing with Osula is that he'll get at least one chance per game. He's a handful who always makes something happen. Why would you sell him? He looks like your best striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie's setup is so well suited to a fast striker that's hard working and makes good runs that the Nunez move is very very intriguing. Think I also like Nunez even more with a second striker playing off of him that can also create for him and add another finisher alongside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 His form has certainly been an unexpected bonus, really hope it doesn’t stop us going out and bringing in another striker though. Still feel a pool of Wissa, Wolt and Osula is nowhere near good enough for where we want to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
