link?
Literally no ITK on Twitter ie Gards JJ have said anything about Willian Jose. Good to know we have a few options but would be nice to know if we are looking for a long or short term fix I guess we will find out soon enough
Pure speculation but feel like Gards could be talking about Piatek when talking about we should get our top target. Said we have offers in on 2, assuming that’s Piatek and Willian Jose.
Piatek is the one we’ve had reports on for a while and feels like the one we’ve tried for first.
That would make some sense as well.I reckon main target is Piatek and the back up is Gabriel Barbosa based on what Gards has said previously ...
I’m a mind reader. I’d be excited for that signing, thinks he’s got a lot of talent and hopefully the growth of Lo Celso and Ndombele coming back will give him plenty of chances!I reckon main target is Piatek and the back up is Gabriel Barbosa based on what Gards has said previously ...
EDIT: Gards confirmed on Twitter main target is Piatek
I also get that feeling. I don't think it's a coincidence that the players we've been linked with out of nowhere for seemingly imminent deals (Ze Luis and Willian Jose) are represented by two agents very close to the club (Mendes and Barnett, respectively). They have the feel of attempts to put pressure on the club we're negotiating with for a preferred target. Agree that the links to Piatek seem to make him the obvious candidate for the player we're really after.Pure speculation but feel like Gards could be talking about Piatek when talking about we should get our top target.

we just need a striker. Any will do!
Balotelli?
Think Piatek is about as good a shout as we could ask for as a backup to Kane. Seems to be a bit more aggressive than Janssen. Presses. Fairly mobile. Attacks crosses. Doesn't look amazing with his back to goal but there might be room for improvement there.
A proper DM and him might just give us a bit of a shot at top 4, added to GLC looking good and Tanganga as well.
Edit: He also looks like the lovechild of Lewandowski and Jamie Vardy. It's uncanny. Sign him up.
Hes doesnt have the total speed but not slow either, he has a good initial acceleration bit like GLC
Haha, unfortunately by looks I literally meant his face ?
This.Love the leaks by the club. They played it perfectly. Interest in Piatek at beginning of window, fans pissed off/non plussed, float Benteke/Luis/Willian Jose/other pretty shitty options, make everyone think “wow Piatek is actually a pretty good option!”, sign Piatek to more fanfare than if they’d have signed him immediately.
