Transfer Rumour Wilifred Gnonto

Agreed. If we are spending close to 30 million on one player, I would be looking for a center forward like Beto. We need something for both positions, but striker is a greater need for me.
What if Dyche is going to shock us all and instead of going for another big brute of a CF he’s going to turn Gnonto into a Tevez/Sanchez/Aguero striker?
 
I would much rather us go after Dodi Lukebakio.

Similar negotiation position given Hertha was relegated last season, and the player would be cheaper, has a higher ceiling, has greater athleticism, and most importantly fits a massive glaring need within our squad.
 

Well you're deliberately missing my point then, because my point was clearly that if paying 30m for Gnonto prevents us from paying 30m needed for Beto then it's backwards. You may well think there are better strikers we can get but if they aren't cheaper then my point stands. The fee is more relevant to my point than the player.

Well surely im comparing them on ability and potential if the price is the same?


the Italy No9 went for less than £30 m last month

Gnonto is 4 years younger than anyone else in that squad and Retegui is a gamble.

He had a better season for Leeds than Onana did for us and we are asking ridiculous amounts of money. Gnonto will pay back that £30m no problem, have every confidence he would be a top player for us.

Why always slating Onana even when he plays well...

I like him but I don't think he has a higher ceiling at all, especially since he's six years older.

Well yeah if you're not going to pay any attention whatsoever to their positions maybe Gnonto is a better use of 30m than Beto in terms of potential, but it's not how you build a squad and building a squad keeps you in the league.
