To you pal, I'll be anything you want. 3 minutes ago, STM said: Also the no re sale value thing is bollocks, we got 18m for 31 year old Chris Wood. There's absolutely a world where we sell him in 2 years time for a similar fee (if that's what we wanted to do). I think its a great signing because its an absolute tap in. Gordon/Barnes Isak/Wissa Elanga/Murphy Is good depth, for a change. With loads of flexibility too. I'd have no worries about Barnes, Wissa and Murphy lining up a game. Totally agreed. This could be a blessing in disguise frankly. Wissa for 35-40m vs Ekiteke at approaching 80m, with Wissa more of a sure thing presently. We'd also have more money leftover as feel we need CB/CM.

Add Osula for further depth and that’s a pretty deep and good front 3 roster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their model is working to perfection and they probably won't go down because of the standard of the promoted teams. (Sadly) Kevin Shade had a really good season as well.

Andy Posted July 22, 2025 Share Posted July 22, 2025 A bit of an odd one in that he's an entirely different profile to our other targets this window - definitely feels like a stop-gap in a lot of ways. I do like him as a player though and he caused us problems last season. Just get this done and move on to sorting a CB out asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted July 22, 2025 Share Posted July 22, 2025 For people who said we’d settle for DCL and/or Wilson extension this is obviously a level above. And we were legit in for 2 others players who ended up at Chelsea and Liverpool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he can play across the front with a striker or on his own so offers versatility does appear what we are after. Age profile not so much if top 2 were pedro and ekitike.
