Greggs again mate

Sorry Neil, its Waterfields all the way for me x

 

[Jayhow15]

I think so. Jose is a risk, but he could be really REALLY good.

So could Troy Deeney.

 

[Thomasc]

100% it will be mate, the bloke has been an absolute bust since coming to Europe, 27m itself would be an absolute highway robbery - he's worth about 10m (even in this over inflated market) as a punt for a bottom 5-6 team really

Not seen him play, but his goals per game is just under 1 in 3 and just under 1 in 4 for Mexico so that's not too bad.

Why are people convinced he is no good?

 

[BlueToff]

I have no doubt they are mate and expect the last say dramatics at finch farm nxt week ins and outs. But if the striker we get isn't from this league and doesn't cut it we are screwed for a X amount of goals anyway.

Mor is more (forgive me) of a Lookman type, anyway.

Koeman's definitely wanting a 'presence' up top.

 

[brieverton]

Wonder if Walsh's Italian trip might still bear fruit?

Who is still available from that 'list'? - I'd take a punt on Zapata.

 

[COYBL25]

So could Troy Deeney.

Full time footy player, part time bird scarer

Why are people convinced he is no good?

Because a 1 in 4 strike rate in Portugal for a player in his mid 20's is pretty crap, a 1 in 3 rate in Mexico for anyone with a pulse is bad. Throw in his whopping 1 goal in 28 games as a striker for Athletico Madrid - the only top league he played in.

His stats are crap and thats even with padding on them at Benfica - got 24 in 81 games, but his league form is 12 in 50. so half his goals came in cup games or in europe vs rubbish teams.

The lad isn't deemed good enough to start for Benfica and has only a handful of 90 minute games since he arrived there, he absolutely flopped massively at Athletico and they binned him off quickly.

He also missed 4 months last season with 4 separate injuries to his ankle, knee, groin and a muscle injury.

He also looks absolutely woeful on Youtube - which is something as even crap looks decent on there, throw in the absurdity of them 'turning down' 27m for him - basically they paid 20m for him, he has flopped massively and Benfica are desperately trying to make interest appear or to at least fool their fans that he wasn't a waste of money due to the foreign 'interest'

 

[Niapper]

Willian Jose.

 

[Niapper]

Is Koeman's presser today?

 

[USABlue]

He'd literally be at least 50M and maybe more. The marketing opportunities alone would be millions a year.

he won't move until after the World Cup. Think Dortmund is the best place for him right now as well. That being said I'd windmill my knob off if Pulisic ever pulls on the everton blue

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Is Koeman's presser today?

It'll be in Croatia later on I'd imagine. If it's anything like the presser in Ruzomberok it won't be live but we'll get some quotes afterwards.

So what your saying Ste is he is a worth a punt

Because that record is really rubbish mate.

 

[MikeH72]

I haven't seen much of William Jose other than youtube and that made Niasse look a worldy. Is he any good?

No it didn't

Yes mate. Don't sit on the fence. Out these foreign frauds.
