westernpark Posted 12 January 2023 Share Posted 12 January 2023 For the price and his injury record, I would be saying no. But we’ve got to sign someone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 12 January 2023 Share Posted 12 January 2023 One £30m signing goes out the door (Perez...). Another comes in . If it is true, it's an expensive risk. I hope it works out for us and gives us some impetus and energy needed on the pitch. Even if he stays injury free and allows us an attacking option for the remainder of the season it's a plus.

StriderHiryu Posted 12 January 2023 Share Posted 12 January 2023 Injuries and attitude are definite points of contention. But looking at it another way, this is a player with a LOT of upside. A player that you sell for 2-3x their original price if it works out. Does that mean we should sign him? Jury's still out. He absolutely has the technical quality though.

Lcfc098 Posted 12 January 2023 Share Posted 12 January 2023 One thought I had was the Southampton new signings looked really good yesterday. That can only mean their former scout who’s now our head scout has a good eye for players. Really excited if we manage to get this one over the line 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to be greedy but we’re ****ed without those as well Not greedy at all. Just common sense that they're quite clearly positions to be improved upon. I'd argue GK as well but picking up one for cheap at good quality is difficult. 1 minute ago, StriderHiryu said: Injuries and attitude are definite points of contention.

Hopefully trying to play them at their own game when it comes to terms £30m spread over about 20 years but only happens when he has played 50 games in a season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen it mentioned but can't actually find anything other than a couple of Fiorentina fans on twitter Prioritised playing at the World Cup over Fiorentina so didn't want to play in games. To be honest not too dissimilar to how Maddison asked to be subbed of after 10 minutes against West Ham! Make of that what you will... even Messi did it. I'm with you by the way, I am excited for the signing. Honestly in terms of realistic options out there, there are not too many. Ouatrra and Tysgankov were probably the others that would also make sense, but if you look at games at the higher levels, Gonzalez has a lot more. He is also extremely versatile, reminds me a bit of Otavio at Porto in that way. Every signing is a gamble, and this is no different. But that's where we are as a club. For me Brighton are the best at signing players at the moment, look at Caciedo, Mitoma, McAllister as amazing pickups. But it took a bit of time for those players to get good. We need someone who is already pretty good, hence the high price involved. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
