He looks right footed but is also comfortable shooting with his left. Looks bang average to me. Yes he scored a few decent goals, especially the headers. But his touch and reactions look way to slow for the way we play. He reminds of Chris Wood when he was here. Just don't think it would be a good fit. If it was £30m then no issue but I think it's super lazy scouting if he's the best we can find that's left over for £60m. At this point in our desperation we have to take a chance on someone without the prem experience. Spending £60m on this guy would make digging our heels in for the remaining £40m we want from Liverpool completely pointless.

jack j Posted August 21, 2025 Share Posted August 21, 2025 Surely its another case of waiting for a team to get a replacement in. They have already been decimated for players this summer. Same as Brentford they aren't going to want to lose their top scorer 30 million profit means fuck all in the championship next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I described him as a Chris Wood upgrade earlier, but tbf I've not seen that much of him. I think was @Coffee_Johnny who compared him with Dzeko, that might be a bit closer to the mark.

Menace Posted August 21, 2025 Share Posted August 21, 2025 Sorloth is available for half the price and is far more developed than him. If we sign this guy to be our main striker I will be very disappointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 21, 2025 Share Posted August 21, 2025 FWIW i think theres something about him as a player, i just dont know if there is enough to be a top 7 player, let alone top 4. Hope I'm wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was more excited before watching that video, can't lie Shades of Luuk de Jong's time here. Looks slow and clunky and unable to generate any power on a lot of his efforts. His record last season was good to be fair, but that doesn't make him look like a very convincing finisher at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
