Transfer Rumour Keane Lewis-Potter

[Paul Rideout]

No. Just dont be daft and throw £30M at a vertically challenged lower league player.

What their chariman says he wants != what we would spend. I wouldn't spend more than 20m on him personally.

Thats what Leicester spent on Maddison a few (turns out it was 4) years back. I consider this guy to be in the same ballpark re: physicality, skills, PL experience (none), potential... so £20m would (when you factor in inflation) be cheaper relative to the value of £20m back then.

That's plucking out of mid-air a succesful PL player and saying that's what Lewis-Potter will become.

It's a massive gamble...one I hope we dont take.

How much of him have you actually seen?

He saw him last Summer at Blackpool Circus and wasn`t too impressed when him and the other midgets, ganged up on the clowns and covered them in flour and water.

it's picking someone out with the same frame, skillset, experience and price point that I can recall off the top of my head.

 

[Simon Buttle]

I advocated this 2-3 years ago: Mitrovic.

But it's a poor argument in favour of a player to ask someone else to name someone better.

I asked you who you would prefer that is a simple question, if you think its a poor argument then please leave the Everton chat to the Evertonians on here, thanks.

Don't know much about him but apparently he's doing well at Hull in the championship.Last night was his debut and he did well to score but I don't think he overly impressed, it was after all against Kosovo. If he's worth 30m then Gordon would be worth at least twice that amount.

We used to take loads of gambles under Moyes, especially with EPL signing, which on the whole pair off. The then 5/6m is now the 15/20m.

I think 15 to 20m might just be worth a gamble but 30m is way too much.

 

[bluestevon]

Why so?

Think Johnson is more of an athlete - but potter is the one who seems to have more footy intelligence kinda

 

[bluestevon]

No problem with a Cahill type who also slots in MF and does the job there too.

I'm not saying it's impossible to be small and succeed up front. He might be a new Mertens. I just doubt the wisdom of getting a small forward overall. It seems like a gamble we dont need.

I wouldn't be playing him as a typical cf mate, but on the wing or as a number 10 off the striker

Moyes did it with Bowen, it's always a risk. But then few transfers aren't risky.

Moyes mosty gambled on £2M-£3M players. He absolutley banked on the £5M valued players.

That's ok, but he's billed as a striker.

Even as a winger Ild have my doubts.

 

[Chrismac]

I dont get it tbh, we go on about signing hungry young players on the way up yet when one is available we dont want to take the risk?
£30m is way too high, but if its £15m plus performance related add ons surely its the exact type of signing we should be after.

No he isn't.
