Confirmed Signing Armando Broja

[Raino85]

I know exactly what you're saying, but I'd come down somewhere between the two. You can hit him as a focal point more than Richarlison IMO, but he's not as good as Dom in the air

He's not great with his back to goal and he does rely on the ball given into him in space. Which probably dosent suit us one bit

 

[Joey66]

A waste of space, always injured .....

Better finisher than DCL (which doesnt take much) but hardly prolific. Would feel like we are replacing one poor striker with another.

Based on what exactly?

I think he has an agent who likes to put his name in the papers. He's probably a 10 million player or loan signing at this point in his career

 

[DL100]

Broja has scored two less goals in the last two years, than Beto scored last year.

He only played 1 of those 2 seasons though. So he scored 2 less than Beto did in the same time period is what your saying?

I dont get your point.

Which part?

Being a better finisher than DCL? The fact that every striker in the PL is a better finisher than DCL.

I dont want Broja signing but on loan i dont see an issue.

Exactly worse record than DCL - move away from rubbish like him - he went to Fulham on loan, never played = crocked

I'd say he's hit and miss with his back to goal. Certainly needs to be more consistent with it. He's never going to be the one you launch a ball to and expect him to beat a 6ft 4in centre back to the header, although he's not terrible in the air. Holding the ball up with his back to goal, I've seen some good stuff and some equally not so good stuff. What he does better in those situations than Dom is to turn those back to goal situations into a situation where he gets faced at goal and can be direct. But generally speaking, he needs to get more consistent at that bit. He does have some quality on the ball, more so than any other striker we have, but I wouldn't be comfortable with just replacing him Dom and continuing to play the way we've played the last 18 months. We would probably be poorer for it, although the presence of Ndiaye there might change things a bit with the approach play

The part saying the guy with 8 goals in 66 premier league appearances is a better finisher than DCL.

How do you expect to improve significantly if you sign players that are barely or if at all better than what you already have.

 

[kenada_blue]

Would rather keep Beto

 

[Preki]

He looked nothing special at all for Albania. I saw all three of their games and he didn't look a threat at all.

I think Beto is a more effectively player at this point in their careers, and I'm no fan of Beto. Very similar players in how they play though, and Dyche was visibly frustrated many times by Beto.

 

[Dymak]

Not sure why we’d go for Broja instead of going for the likes of Adebayo. I doubt that we are in for him at all tbh.

 

[bluelife]

Broja scores 7 goals for us if he plays 38 games. Nailed on

Yeah.

The only upside is that Boja is younger and able to mould. Beto not so much (can improve though).

But his wages will be more than Beto's and there's a transfer fee. So if his knees explode again... we're stuck
