StevO Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Outstanding? Questionable. Three years ago I’d have loved him, haven’t seen much of him since to know if he’s worth it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 He stood out for all the wrong reasons at Fulham. Be surprised if he finds another premier league team to give him a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwlad Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 He was up and coming 3 years ago, loaned out by Chelsea for a couple of years. They'd bite our hand off to take him but I don't want to be a home for players that have never really cut it. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggytop Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 It’s a no from me, barely made an impression at Fulham last season, should have been one of their saviours, absent from many starting lineups, not sure if it was injury or just not good enough, either way we have enough of that calibre here anyhow. Shame as he was showing good potential before getting a bad injury a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 In the Moyes / Martinez days we might have taken a chance on a player like him but we don't need to do that anymore. He needs to prove that he can stay fit and play to a good level for at least a season before teams aiming for the top half take a look at him.

Exactly, is he better than what we have or fill a gap we have? The answer is no so don't sign him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fosse Captain Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Decent player, not outstanding. And thats a high price. Would he improve us? Probably.

SpartyBlue Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 I am genuinely curious if there are any realistic targets that would please even half of our supporters. We aren’t getting established premier league superstars. All foreign players come with risk. All younger, unproven players come with risks. All “cast-offs” or fringe players from Top 6 sides come with risk. Who would actually make us happy? dunlopp9987 and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a player who lampard wanted at Chelsea, who Moyes tried to get before zouma…. (So clearly Moyes and lampard rate him higher than zouma) for a free transfer. we signed Gana and fans grumbled cos he got relegated, barry on a free etc etc. we need at least 4 new players in before we even replace ones we will sell so we aren’t gonna be getting £40m players.

DownUnderToff Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 5 hours ago, SpartyBlue said: Who would actually make us happy? Foreign league or young local for me. Free/really cheap is ok, but not keen on overspending (wages and transfer fee) for bang average old/older premier league players. That's what got us into this mess. At a 20m transfer and him likely wanting 80k+ a week, RLC would be a no from me. Didn't exactly light it up when at Fulham on Loan last year.

Vranny Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 He reminds me a bit of Iwobi, so I especially don’t see the point in signing him now that Alex has come good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it with wanting locals to come through the youth set up, but wanting players from a foreign league? Couldn’t care less if they came from league one or ligue un as long as they are good enough.

Fair, in that I don't actually care whether they're from a foreign league or the EPL. Not trying to make an anti-local point, just that we need to "seek better value". An EPL premium seems to get applied almost irrespective of actual performance, resulting in their being an opportunity for better ROI outside it.
