Honestly we under sell and over pay. Prime examples being Skipp and Rutter, Leeds getting what we got for Maddison lol. Anyway not sure this was the guy for us anyway. 😂 Have you seen him play?

JimJams Posted 18 August Share Posted 18 August After a single season Atalanta are cutting their losses selling for nearly half what they paid for him. Yet apparently this is a deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why I said he is not for us, I wasn’t being sarcastic. I would be against it. It doesn’t change he fact that Atlanta purchased him for €30 mill and only one season after, someone is picking him up for nearly half of that. So like i said, there are deals out there, let hope we get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet apparently this is a deal. I would say it is a good deal for Frankfurt, it’s not worked out there but there must be a player in there If they spent so much on him on the first place. Especially when you consider it’s Atalanta, usually pretty good I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 18 August Share Posted 18 August 1 hour ago, kingfox said: Another one bites the dust. Looking like a toss up between spending big on Fotis or getting the poor man’s Ade Akinbiyi in on loan. Unless a name crops up out of thin air which I’m kind of hoping, even though I rate Fotis highly. Tammy Abraham Patrick Bamford Elijah Adebayo Someone from the Chelsea loan army Chuba Akpom I could also see someone from Belgium or Netherlands. Habib Diallo was also mentioned but think he might be too old for us to buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 18 August Share Posted 18 August (edited) 37 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: THIERNO BARRY I wonder if the club will take risks with players from leagues like the Swiss and Austrian ones after Daka's return here? Ioannidis is from Greece which sort of goes against my point, but he's definitely on the market, which is why he's available. Salzburg have another african striker called Karim Konate who looks pretty decent, though I wouldn't risk it personally. William Bøving from Sturm Graz might also be one to keep an eye on. Holland and Belgium could be ripe for the picking also. Kevin Denkey at Cercle Brugge I think will end up in the Premier League one day. Chuba Akpom is getting on, but think he is definitely on the market. He'd be good as a false 9. Last season I picked out Evanilson who went to Bournemouth as one we might go for. He went for big bucks, but it shows that such a move was possible despite him playing for Porto. There is still likely to be a ton of domino effects from strikers as Oshimen, Toney, Nketiah and Moukoko (Dortmund) are all going to be on the move.

All depends what type of profile we’re looking for, but going off the basis of wanting Ioannidis and Hlozek, it seems we want someone who can be that link, but also have the ability to carry the ball so we can threaten on the counter, but as I’ve said a few times, you’re not gifted with an endless list in that department. A list of strikers who come in similar proximity to Ioannidis and Hlozek in terms of ball carrying... Karim Konate Michail Antonio Zeki Amdouni Haji Wright Evann Guessand Jonathan Burkardt Cristo Gonzalez Thierno Barry That’s your lot in terms of realism imo, unless we go for a Plan B and get in a big lump of a striker, someone like Weghorst for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaMen Tom Posted 18 August Share Posted 18 August How about Josh Sargent at Norwich? Figured in both their goals yesterday, only 24. 16 goals in Championship last season. Also rumored to be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of a similar profile of what we’ve supposedly looked at, I’m starting to warm to your Thierno Barry shout, he has pretty much identical statistics to Ioannidis in terms of progressive runs and dribbles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
