Summer Transfer Window 2019

[BirkenheadBlue]

Juventus won't agree to that, say it's the 20 million and we pay him 100K a week, that's 5ish million a year then buy back is 30 million after a year, after 2 years buy back is 35 million. So if they want him back we will be making profit on fee and wages, which is fine by me.

They’ll take what Marcel offers, and they’ll like it.

For his part, Kean wants a contract that will see him make €2m a year and his agent, the much loved Mino Raiola, is assessing the options. €2m a year works out at around £1.7m, or £35,000-a-week.

If he had any other agent I might be a bit optimistic about this but Raiola is a dirty snake so I'm giving it the no go.

How many goals would you expect from a £20m striker?

Look at how much players go for now, especially young players. Dominic Solanke went for £19m to Bournemouth and scored 1 goal last season.

Sadly £20m does not buy you a world class striker anymore, only potential

 

[Saint Domingo]

Kean must currently be behind Ronaldo Dybala Higuain Mandzukic and Douglas Costa. I can see why we may have targeted him. He’ll have seen what we did with Lukaku and now Richarlison and might potentially see it as choosing between 2 seasons on the bench at Juve or 2 seasons playing every week in the premier league raising his profile knowing a big move is still ahead of him in the future.

So are you saying you’d expect 1 goal a season from a £20m striker?

 

[TheSecondComing]

We would have two profile of strikers with Kean and DCL I think Marco likes that with Deeney and Gray at Watford.

We’ve got a good relationship with Raiola though, most agents are snakes, doesn’t mean we can’t use him for our advantage. Raiola doesn’t win if Kean just keeps his head down at Juve. He knows he’ll get a cut from the transfer to us and then a cut from the future transfer away from us. In the last few years we’ve sold Stones for a world record fee at the time for a defender, and we’ve sold Lukaku for a fee that at the time was close to the world record for a striker. We’re a cash cow for the likes of Raiola.

Still think out of all strikers linked with Rebic would be the best fit.

Absolutely sick of this guy getting used as the benchmark. The vast, vast majority of £20m players are better than him.

Other than the fact that he has very rarely played as a true #9 by himself. He could be able but it isn't something he's really done at Frankfurt or with Croatia with great success to this point.

We don't need a "true #9" though do we?

stinks of using our name to get a better deal for him at Juventus, His contract runs out next year as well but I guess it can work in our favor too I just have little faith in him.

 

[Zatara]

Kean and Neves would be epic.

 

[Death]

Is that Everton lad off bounds?

 

[TheBigIguana]

We don't need a "true #9" though do we?

I see Rebic as someone who can do a job as a #9 but is better playing off of someone or as a wide player who drifts in. Which is also what Richarlison is best at. So we don't need Rebic.
