Barca should be all over him instead of Griezmann.

german media now reporting, the deal jovic to real is off due to Eintracht demanding 100m.

Heck i would demand that too. They need the money tho, tha tis the only reason he is not going for 100m in the end. I still expect this deal to go through but more for like 80m. 

If true, then lol. Real Madrid getting scared off by 100 million demand again.

£88m. 100m euros. Still a shit tonne, but Barca and PSG have fucked up the market. (Dembele, Coutinho, Neymar, and Mbappe).

He's a notable gamble at that price and good reason for that. I could see someone else being trigger happy (providing Frankfurt stay firm), though.

Mind Milan got Piatek for peanuts who is basically the exact same player (fit, sturdy, 6ftish poacher with decent pace, great finishing and positioing,decent hold-up play and passing) -.- Still so mad at the board for getting washed up Higs instead.

Piatek had scored a few goals for 4 months though including a hot streak that any striker could hit, I can fully understand the club being hesitant on signing someone up on the back of 20 games. How many players have been signed up off the back of one good season and then tanked.

A lot of people are worried about Lampard being appointed due to his inexperience, yet signing Piatek would have been in my opinion a far, far greater risk.

Why do people keep saying that? As if he suddenly stopped scoring.

He scored 11 goals since joining Milan, 22 in the league overall. He had an excellent season.

Jovic on the other hand has only scored 2 goals since sgining for Frankfurt on a fixed contract both of those goals were vs us. 17 of his goals have come in the first hal of the season. So who is the one signed based ona 4month hot streak?

I'm not talking about Jovic, I'm making a point about people bitching and complaining that the club didn't sink millions of pounds on a striker who had scored a few goals in a half season period in a top league (one I personally dont rate that highly to be honest). 

If we had signed him and he struggled the board would be ridiculed for such a risky purchase, seems they can't win at times.

Piatek might not have stopped scoring and he did have a good season overall but his goal return certainly dropped after the early period at Milan. Scored 8 goals in his first 10 appearances for them but scored only 3 in subsequent/last 10 games. 

There is argument to be made on why we should have signed Piatek or should sign Jovic but on the other hand, there is also the opposite argument especially when you see what happened with Belotti etc.

Belotti is a technically inferior player to Piatek tho..You can see that from the quality of goals alone. Also belotti would have been 80m, Piatek went for 31. At that price it always would have been better business than 18m on higs for wages and loan fees.

It's a complicated question indeed. Our strikers(Morata, Higuaín and Olliie Magnefique) have scored hundreds of goals in multiple top leagues, still we are not satisfied with our options.
