2024/25 Youssef Chermiti

[longers]

missed match at weekend and forgot this guy even existed. Has he been injured forever ?

 

[Vaughan]

he’s not in the portugal u21s set up. i hope he gets some minutes in the test event

Seems to have a better attitude than Moise - our last young striker with PL level potential.

 

[Zatara]

Yeah I’d agree with that. DCL is highly likely on his way out . Broja may depend on the asking price , we’ll keep Beto. But no manager is going to say a young Chermiti is going to be our No1 striker and leave us without experienced striking options so he’ll have competition and will need to prove himself, as it should be.

I'm pretty confident Chermiti could become "no1 striker" this season.

In the summer we should be bringing in a superior player and he would then drop to 2nd choice.

I'd let DCL go, sell Beto for more than we could have done in Jan...and Broja can join Mangala in the koff crabs column.

And have Chermiti as back up striker when we have no idea if he’s a Prem player? Doesn’t seem wise mate, he needs to be 3rd choice of 3 next season. If he can force his way into the team, great.

I agree with replacing both Beto and DCL with 2 new strikers but on what evidence do you have "confidence that Chermiti could be our No1 striker" FFS!

It's pretty wild to claim somebody could become number 1 Striker when they haven't scored a single goal.

But I'm rooting for him.

That's what the manager and coaches are there for though isn't it? We might not know whether he's going to be a prem player but if we're paying someone £5m a year to manage the team I would hope they do. If the club think he's good enough and ready to be a genuine option that's great, if they don't then we need to make a decision on him because he's not going to get any better just getting the odd 10 minute run out next year.

Yep, exactly this. Practically everyone would agree that the tiny glimpses we've had of him have looked promising, but he's been injured for 7-8 months and our sample size is absolutely miniscule, relatively speaking.

You can be cautiously optimistic if he stays fit, but we are miles away from being able to make bold proclamations about him

We need 3 strikers, wherever he is in the pecking order.

What little I've seen of him I like, he has the ability to progress.

I think the part of my post about him being 2nd choice next season, followed the part about him getting to be 1st choice this season.

 

[dachshund]

I honestly think from what I've seen from him against West Ham that he will win a Ballon d'Or in exactly two years.

But we need him to do that now!

There are 9 games left mate. He might start 2 at a push. Is that the sample size that will convince Moyes that we only need 2 strikers next season and Chermiti (having been injured for 8 months of this season) should be one of them?

I’ll answer now: No.
