I wonder if Doucoure recommended him to Thelwell ?


The Blues are prioritising fresh attacking options this summer and there’s at least one aspect of Toure’s game that might particularly appeal to their gaffer. Toure averages some 0.73 headed shots per 90 minutes, a figure that would put him fifth in the Premier League behind Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic (1.28); Newcastle United’s Callum Wilson (1.02); Bournemouth’s Kieffer Moore (0.94) and Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane (0.79) while tellingly just above Calvert-Lewin and Manchester City’s free-scoring Erling Haaland (0.72).

While he can’t come close to matching Calvert-Lewin’s 13.76 aerial duels competed pair 90 minutes – a figure that puts the Everton striker top of the Premier League – his 7.4 would put him in sixth place and he moves up to fifth for aerial duels won (2.87), a category that Calvert-Lewin is second in (5.43) behind the aforementioned Moore of Bournemouth (5.59). Toure is also the kind of hard-working striker that Dyche might appreciate given that his figures from Spain would put him fourth among Premier League peers for interceptions (2.33) in a field topped by Chelsea’s Kai Havertz (2.56) and he’d be eighth for ball recoveries (3.27) behind category leader Roberto Firmino of Liverpool (4.55).
 

Never heard of this El-Bilal fella but the fact that he can play on the RW gives me hope for some good lineup options, especially if we sign Rodrigo and Harrison.

Pick
Patt/Col, Tark/Hol, Bran/Kean, Myko/Godf
Garner/Gueye, Onana/Gomes
Bilal/Gray, Iwobi/Doucs, McNeil/Harri
DCL/Cannon, Rodrigo/Maupay

When you put it like that we desperately need a CB and FB, and will need to replace Maupay and Gray as and when the leave
Left back options look dreadful 😂
 
Mail: Simms

Swansea + Ipswich have made bids
Stoke + Swansea interested

No mention of sunderland, quoting £10mil asking price

I can’t see the oppo falling for the classic 4-5-2 formation somehow lol
 

This calibre dealings are not what we want or need
On the contrary, Piroe is a massive upgrade on Simms and an improvement on Gyokeres (who was a popular shout on this forum). Piroe is 23 (1 year older than Simms; 2 years younger than Gyokeres) and has scored 44 goals in 96 games for Swansea (Vs 17/31 for Simms in the championship or 40/97 for Gyokeres).

A swap deal of Simms + £5-7m would be a great piece of business
 
Only Championship player i would be semi interested in is Jack Clarke (Im not counting Ndiaye but if we can get Toure+Ndiaye+Ndoye as well as possibly Dia depending on sales ie Gray then our attack is set). Once again i must also beg for Le Fee
