Unionjack 7,531 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I see we are still being linked with him. From all that Ive read about him even tho he plays FWL and AML/AMR he is by far the strongest and plays more as a FWR. SSurely this makes no sense with us spunking out for one yesterday for that position!! He has played 1 game this season as a center forward so we cant be thinking of him there. And for the £40mill he will supposedly fetch it will mean him being on the bench as a sub for both wings. Fernando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Yeah this deal make too much sense. Let's see if the board sees it like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose if a realistic striker target isn't available in January, an alternative option could be to buy a winger and use Hazard predominantly in the false 9 position. There's still no guarantees either that we'll start next season with Hazard and CHO so it would give us the chance to get someone in and give them time to settle before next season. From what I've seen I do like Lozano. He offers serious pace, a direct approach and an eye for goal. Fernando and Unionjack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF Eden does go to RM I would make Isco a part of it no matter what Sell a few of the woodwork and with what we have left over from Edens sale we could get Icardi. I would go mental fo a Isco Icardi pairing Add Pulisic to them and we have a great front 3 Chuck in Fekir and bring on the world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabama 1,992 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I would rather we buy this guy and try him in the centre forward role or play him as a striker if no quality attacker becomes available..He is far better than Morata and Giroud combined together...his pace tenacity and finishing is quite impressive...

DDA 9,941 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Apparently we are in for him. Would welcome this all day long. Especially if we are stupid enough to let Odoi go. kellzfresh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Napoli or Chels... that's actually a hard choice for a player these days. Before you would bet your house on the player chosing us but now...... Napoli are just as attractive as we are.

Superblue 6,372 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Given the prices in the market currently (you only have to consider Bayern offering £30m + for CHO who whilst we can see is a talent, on the outside looking in has only played about half a dozen first team games), £36m would be exceptional business. There has to be a question mark over him as Holland isn't the strongest league, but he also performed well in the World Cup and looks like he has all the characteristics to take his game to another level at a bigger club in a stronger league.

Pizy 18,944 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Just finished watching some highlights on YouTube. Looks to be basically the same sort of player as Pulisic and plays on that same side. Pacey, skillful, decent eye for goal. Excels in open space 1v1. To be honest, he actually looks more impressive than Pulisic, though to be fair he's several years older. Not sure it really makes sense to be linked with him unless Willian and Pedro are both off in the summer OR Hazard will be used up top for the remainder of the season.

I also see us not extending pedro's and willian's deals so one of them is off for sure in summer. there will be plenty off space on the wing positions left and the board are not too stupid to see tha tour wings are ageing and short of cover. imo Lozano is better on the left anyway. He was absolutely devastating when Mexico beat Germany at the WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Mexican and American fans are always arguing over who's better between him and Pulisic. Sign him up and let's find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
