Just watched a YouTube comp of Woltemade. I actually came away more impressed with his game than Ekitike. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

They’re both tall and lanky as hell but Woltemade looks much more robust and can hold up the ball excellently. Thing is, from his POV it doesn’t seem very wise to agree to come here when we have Jackson & Delap. At his age it would be a huge risk to go from playing every week to getting the odd chance in the League Cup or as a sub here.

I’d take him, though, since it’s clear we aren’t going for a Gyokeres or Osimhen.

Watched some more Gittens tapes, he's actually a very interesting prospect. I think he's probably a year or two away from blowing up.

What do you think he does better than Hugo? I think Ekitike is far far better than Woltemade tbh, like his ceiling is way higher. Much better technical base, much better locomotion, one of those wing forward like strikers, a lot like Isak. Woltemade reminds me of a slightly more technical Weghorst/Fullkrug. I don't think he scales up too well in the PL personally.

He does look decent tbf. Moves like Dembele a little bit. He will probably be one like Doue and Barcola… who ends up going elsewhere and we curse at the World for missing out on him. The money they have quoted him at is too high though.

Ekitike looks like he has the higher ceiling for sure from a raw, natural talent POV. But I just wonder how he’d hold up to the rigors of the PL. A lot of the negatives I’ve read about Ekitike when this monster price is being discussed is that he is physically weak and gets bullied in Germany. If that’s the case, how’s he going to hold up against teams who love to get physical and thuggish like Burnley or Everton?

Whereas Woltemade looks technically good for a huge guy whilst also having the strength and muscle to bully people himself. He looks less risky than Ekitike to my eye because he’d cost a fraction.

When you’re spending €100m on a player you need a virtual guarantee that he’s a superstar. I don’t personally see that with Ekitike.

Bundesliga strikers scare me. Our track record with them is not good.

 

anyone heard the price they are negotiating?

2 and a half months ago it was €50 million, according to Sport Bild

I wager now they will want at least 60m to 70m euros

I like the look of him to be honest. Always appreciate those technical strikers. Lot of his highlights are in tight areas. 

I hope I am wrong if we do splash the cash for Woltman

Nobody worth a damn is reporting anything so it doesn’t really matter. That cfbayern guy doesn’t know shit.
