We can't really compare one situation to another, for Depay you can say Suarez.

Suarez was 24 when he joined Liverpool, having played over 150 games and scored over 100 goals in Dutch football as well as being a regular international player. A lot more experienced and consistent than both Depay and Lozano.

If wiki's not lying he's got 78 goals in 210 games as a winger, granted in much weaker leagues but it's a very solid record never the less.

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.

Yeah this deal make too much sense. Let's see if the board sees it like that.

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.

From all Ive seen I too like him

It s just strange us still looking at another RW.

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!

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...

Apparently we are in for him. Would welcome this all day long. Especially if we are stupid enough to let Odoi go.

Napoli reportedly also targeting him as well.

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.

[Special Juan 28,087]

This lad is a bit good, looked absolutely shit hot every time I have seen him.

[Fernando 6,585]

I see him with a good work ethic like Azpi and Pedro. 

[Jase 43,479]

First Pulisic and now Lozano. We're definitely aiming to conquer North America...

Forget that, I'm more excited by the fact we are rebuilding the right wing!!

[Superblue 6,372]

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 18,846]

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.

Thats what I dont get.

He will know we have just paid large for Pulisic who plays in the same position so will not be wanting to be anyones backup. And the board wouldn't be paying £40mill for depth.
