They are going to take that astronomical fee they want for Osimhen and buy arguably a better fit for us in their top prospects. I’d take all of those options instead of him.

DDA 10,204 Posted January 24, 2024 Share Posted January 24, 2024 I really feel as if our scouting team should be looking at Zirkzee. Lad looks a real prospect. Can see Napoli selling us an Osimhen and then replacing him with a Zirkzee who will then go on to be the next big thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The level at which most of those are playing is considerably lower or was only a matter of months ago. It seems like the fee is the sole reason most people are against him joining.

If you go back I was also not in favour of purchasing Caicedo, and it is not just the transfer fee it is more of a style thing we don't play with lots of crosses into the box. The style we are trying to play from what I can see is more low balls into the box with wide runners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The style we are trying to play from what I can see is more low balls into the box with wide runners. I was just mentioning two players that I personally believe we overpaid by a huge margin and still do. However, that is how the market works; you either put your money where your mouth is or end up with the Endos of the world (no disrespect to him). With regards to how we play, James was whipping balls in for fun in a number of games without anyone at the end of them. We just need a reliable scorer above anything else.

Duran has been at Villa for a year and has fuck all to show for it. He's absolutely no more proven or better than Broja, just another inexperienced raw youngster in a long line of many.

Zirkzee and David would be half that. David could be gotten on the cheaper side given how poor his team is and in turn created nothing for him to finish this season.
