Pilko Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 We could have done with this sort of profile player last season when a clearly not right Isak was doing 90+6 every week, because there was only regens on the bench that Eddie didn't even trust when games were gone just to save his legs for a bit. Reckon he'll get plenty minutes as Wilson will inevitably only be available for around half of our games and Isak's minutes will need to be managed, especially if we're well ahead in certain games. Quite clear we look for attributes and style here rather than a goal record, and that we trust Eddie to make a player out of him. Will be interesting to see how he gets on assuming we get it done.

Sibierski Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 4 minutes ago, duo said: All for signing ones for the future but he's not the backup we need for Isak. If we get a top RW, then it’s fine even if we lost Wilson. Got Gordon who can play up front with Barnes LW as another option. Have to go into season expecting your star striker to stay fit for 95% of the season, and in the games where we’re leading and he’s done, this guy will have enough about him to do the simple stuff for the team. Shouldn’t be needing him to come on and rescue results often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displayname Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Just the type i wanted for that position. Guess this means we are keeping Wilson (which I like). Purple CB and RW now pls, pluss a DCM to be used when needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I bet you he plays atleast 30 games this year from the bench or starting. Mister glass will see to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Exactly the type of player we need. Young, versatile, potentially high ceiling but if he tanks we can flog to West Ham and make a decent amount purely due to his age and PL experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 So I guess we’re not signing DCL. We can’t sell Wilson other than for horse meat and when he is fit for the odd game he’ll be useful for us. As much as I’d like to be able to sell Wilson and get a proper 2nd striker in, it ain’t going to happen. Guess it gives us a year to assess where we are.

HayDen Traces Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Sounds like we wont commit to that RW signing until we've unloaded a couple more high earners... my guess is Miggy and Tripps. Think it will go down to the deadline for us to get our man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobS Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Surrounded by better players making better chances, and with Mr Howe coaching him, I think he could be a pretty tidy player in the future, and probably one we can sell in 2-4 years for 20-30 Million or so.

Fak Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Astroblack said: Hopefully this works out how the random punt on Ayoze did. Yeah. Based on absolutely nothing at all I really prefer signings like this to a Calvert-Lewin. Suppose it’s maybe the element of unearthing a gem perhaps.

dave s Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 this would be perfect for now … we’ve got one of the best strikers in the prem, and one of the other best strikers in the prem when fit, and a young lad who can help keep their minutes down and learn from them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 It was always going to be difficult to find a striker to be 2nd choice and backup to Isak while being good enough to make an impact. Signing a third makes a lot of sense and obviously that has to be a youngster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
