c1982 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Missed our chance when we had him here on trial a few years ago. By all accounts he's been very poor so doesn't sound like too much of a miss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 So why was we linked to him.?? We're probably linked to 50-100 players in each window via various outlets, obviously we're not actually in for the majority of them. Sometimes it's the papers fulfilling their word count, sometimes it's agents/clubs trying to sell their player, sometimes it's us trying to take other clubs off the scent of our actual targets and obviously sometimes there's a genuine interest. In this case I'd say it's the papers just adding another team based on historical links. We are the easy team to link to a certain level/price bracket as we're rich and actively looking to strengthen this window based on what Koeman has said.

Bill Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Journalism yes, but being linked to somebody we have previously had on trial is feasable. This time there might have been some truth in it, who really knows for sure. Edited January 26, 2017 by Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time there might have been some truth in it, who really knows for sure. No one, hence why all links must be taken with a huge pinch of salt.

EFC-Paul Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 I don't hold grudges with players that knock us back if it's justified by talent but this lad looks turd and can jog on Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Back on the table apparently.

markjazzbassist Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 strange, but if walsh and koeman think they can turn him around let's see what they can do. i'll wait to judge on this if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I'm a bit surprised by this one, but maybe they see something we don't? The fee seems really high for a player that's just been okay, even in today's inflated market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 We've tried for him 3/4 times after missing out on him before, we're slightly obsessed. His hit and run a few years back, tells me all I need to know about his character. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Too expensive if 18 mil is correct. 7-8 mil would have been more like it. Not happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 He's not a striker is he?! He's a winger. And he's young, and I thought he had a good spell at Watford? May be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Whaaaaatt? I don't see the hype with this lad and as someone said he doesn't seem to have it between the ears either. Sometimes at Watford he really couldn't give a shit. I'd rather resign Kone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Mixed feelings with him. He looks a world beater in his day, but a bit like Ross.... doesn't seem to have pushed on. Looks to have all the tools, pace, tricky and can beat a man. Maybe needs the right motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 So if we get him and Sandro, sell Lukaku, I would hope we get one more in. Is he idea to replace Rom with three different types of striker? I don't mind that too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Apparently he is at FF according to the Echo, with Klassen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
