Transfer Rumour Thierno Barry

….i must post my spreadsheet, 99.25% of player transfer threads opened in the last 8 years have not resulted in a signing. The best outcomes are threads opened within 10 days of the player signing. If this lad hasn’t signed in the next 10 days, forget it.

As for the worst posters suffering from premature speculation, @Moomin easily tops the list :cool:

It’s absolutely factual & I have detailed evidence to back it up :drunk:

I think that’s just the market though mate, based on the reports about Barry’s cost and Delaps buy out it looks like we’ve budgeted about £30m for a striker give or take. I think in today’s market that’s either an unproven talent or somebody with a bit of quality on the tail end of their career maybe with question marks about their fitness. I think the position we’re in and have been id rather take the gamble on somebody who might have resale rather then getting stuck with somebody we can’t get off the books. We’ve learnt the hard way

Don't even think it's me being weary either, I just think I can't get used to the relative prices.

At some stage, our luck has to change and he comes our Isak.

Im upbeat about the season ahead, and if we can make a profit on him in a year or two, or better yet he can carry us to yhe upper echelons of the league then great.

But agreed. Rather gamble on a young lad, who even if he busts
We can recoup some back.

This chart looks like hes well suited (as with Ndiaye, Beto & Alcaraz) to a quick counter attacking team.

Exactly the strategy we should be implementing to compete with posession hungry sides.

Quite positive on this one and hope we can bring him in.



On what metric would a player who looks extremely obsolete after injury be a "decent upgrade" ?

OK @Zatara , I will take the bait. Remembering that I put his name forward in the context of us buying a rookie, and needing all available funds to go a very long way this season!

Abraham scored 15 goals in his first full Premier League season with Chelsea — more than players like Firmino, Gabriel Jesus, and Raheem Sterling that year.

At Roma, he scored 27 goals in his debut season across all competitions — breaking a club record for most goals by an English player in a season.

Tall (6’5”) and strong in the air, yet mobile and intelligent with his movement.

Excellent at stretching defenses, creating space for inside forwards and attacking midfielders — sure I’ve seen you banging the Grealish drum (see also McAtee)

Yes he had a bad injury but that is where and why the opportunity exists: his value is temporarily suppressed. Players with Abraham’s profile — experienced, proven in two top-five leagues don’t come cheap.

Only 27, known for his humility, work ethic, and leadership qualities — ask Mourinho - and doesn’t wet his pants in a one on one. IMO, a good option to rotate/compete with Beto and Barry (should we get him).

So in that context Zat, who would you suggest that gives us similar experience, goal scoring record and a desire to prove doubters wrong - for free!
 

France U21s playing Georgia tonight at 8:00pm - he came on in the last game and made a positive impact, press reported France looked better with him in the team, so might be a chance he starts.
