markjazzbassist Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 uruguayan, 6'1" 201 lbs. big lad. only 22 years old. 31 goals 10 assists in 71 appearances in la liga. pretty good stats for a young guy. right footed. watched some vids and he is a physical and aggresive dude, this guy looks like he would work well in the premier league. thick build too, no ballet dancer here, target man style build. good with his head and feet.

c1982 Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 This is a classic example of an agent getting his client the best deal. Toss up between Valencia and West Ham - I think our name has been conveniently thrown into the mix to pressurise one of the clubs actually in for him.

Finn balor Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Apparently Valencia had a cash deal plus three players sorted. The players turned up for their medical and it was called off. West Ham or spurs I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Hadn't seen any of him until I searched him on YouTube yesterday. This lad looks like the type of CF we need. Aggressive, tenacious, instinctive and some of the headers I saw him score would even make Tim and Duncs jaws drop! Blindly excited if the rumours are true for this one.

Cisk Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Not sure this is genuine as prev posts have indicated but would be the type of player we need for our attack. Not sure on his movement on and off the ball but has the right physical traits for our league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree - we don’t need a target man as such in my opinion. I’d much prefer Simeone (Diego’s son) from what I’ve seen. Someone who can do the hold-up parts and be a focal point for our attacks but won’t hinder our pressing game. Maxi Gomes seems more in the mould of an out and out target man.

I suppose we will have to wait and see what marcelo and silva have in store for us. In reality we will probably end up either nobody or another Sandro tho StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we got rid of Tosun and Niasse then signed Mandzukic and another young striker, it would be a master stroke. The bloke has been a world class striker for the past however many years - on a 1 or 2 year deal his mentality/quality would be priceless. Imagine being Calvert-Lewin and getting to train with this level of player everyday - it’d surely improve his game.

Yep - let’s ignore him being the leading striker in Croatia’s World Cup runners-up team only 12 months ago and the fact that he still played 33 games for Juventus last season and just say he’s a has been because he’s 33. It seems a common theme with you that if a player is past 30, you’ll write them off - very odd! EFC-Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Not odd at all, he has been a good player but as I said 33 years old and he can only go downwards now. We've already bought a player coming to the end of his career, both will require high wages and there is likely to be no sell on fee. Last season we had one of the youngest teams in the prem, I dont want to go in the opposite direction and end up with the oldest. That's why I dont like to see players of thirty coming here, if that's a common theme Pete, I'm guilty of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 I don’t want to sign older players as such but we’re talking about someone who was on the most recent shortlist of 30 for the Ballon D’or e.g the best players in the world! We’re not talking about Defoe or Andy Carrol - this is one of the best strikers in the world! Brands and Silva have alluded to the fact that we’ll target players under 26 but if the right ‘more senior’ players present themselves then we’ll be flexible. I personally don’t see him leaving Juve but if the chance did arise, we’d be foolish to pass it up.

Sibdane Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 No thanks. He was good, but his decline has been obvious. He's not one of the best strikers in the world anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 I might be way off here but my the reason dzeko, Mandzukic still score goals is because they play in the Italy. The build up is slower the formations still cater to a “number 9” and the Italian defenders aren’t world beaters they once were. If Tosun doesn’t get game time and I’m not comparing him talent wise then I think that we are definitely after a striker who is mobile and can create for himself.

What I’m saying is we need that mobile striker to vie with Calvert-Lewin but I expect he’ll be young and inexperienced too - it would be incredible to have a player like Mandzukic too.

Would have gave DCL an invaluable experience playing up top with him. They linked well under Koeman albeit DCL on the wing.

Lowensda Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Twitter is awash with reports of us being linked with Reinier Jesus - his representatives are in London meeting with ours. This kid has the ability to be big time. Think David Silva/Eriksen ability, potentially even more. Big big gamble but the pay-off could be astronomical.

Shukes Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Lemina? Thoughts? Is he the one we want to replace Gana? Strong on the ball, decent speed, decent on a tackle, but has a few tricks and can easily link up with forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
