Don’t rate him from what I’ve seen would rather see the 30mil go on someone else
Good. Didn't like the look of him at all.
I thought he was a better option than Willian Jose, but can’t say I’m devastated if we have missed out. He’d have been a ‘nice to have’ option, not a ‘must have’.
Just hope we have someone else in mind who fits Mourinho’s needs, and doesn’t scream ‘Plan C panic signing’.
The key will be what Mourinho wants from a forward. The other possible candidates appear to be
Willian Jose - who I’m not convinced by. He looks like a slightly more skilled Llorente. Big, doesn’t appear the most mobile, but at least appears to have a decent shot on him and not just a header of the ball.
Paco Alcacer - arguably the most mobile of those linked. Does he have the ability to be a focal striker? Not the biggest, but then again City manage fine with Aguero as their main CF.
Wout Weghorst - not heard of him till yesterday. Looks very Llorente like, albeit seems to have more of a work ethic.
Olivier Giroud - this looks like Saha mk2. A Prem proven CF, currently out of favor, but very short term. Works hard, can be a bully, but not the most mobile
Have I missed anyone? Could there be someone as yet mentioned. There was talk of a change of style, all about fast transitions, that’s why I’ve placed emphasis on mobility.
You missed the monster that is Islam Slimani
Tbf we have circa £170m in the last 6 months on Ndombele, Lo Celso, Sessegnon, Clarke, Fernandes & Bergwijn.Gazumped by Hertha Berlin. It’s been a confusing day.
We weren’t gazumped by anyone. We wanted a loan with an option, AC wanted a sale or at worst an obligation. Herta were happy to pay money.Gazumped by Hertha Berlin. It’s been a confusing day.
