It proves that these players are capable, despite your attempts to discredit them. Talent is talent.

For every Vini , Rodrygo, and maybe Endrick(we’ll see) , there are plenty Gabigol, Malcom,Arthur. Again not against finding a gem but our recruitment is too focused on unearthing the next. We need established players who can raise the level of the team now. Not maybe in 3-4  years.

I'm not disputing that. I just commented on your post about Brazil no longer being the gold mine it once was. The issue with our transfer business is that there's no balance between youth and experience, which is evident in most of our performances.

Lucas is the one name that sticks out who falls under that bracket.

Benzema would be ideal but Firmino knows the league and he’s a great assist maker. Just need the other players to put away the chances. Or we stay away and wait til summer to buy a proper forward

We're completely finished if this happens. So much money for a nothing player.

At face value, decent goals and assist stats but that's from ONE bloody half season (this season) in the Portuguese league. Plus he seems to be a technical player, rather than one with physicality. In the PL, you need to be REALLY skilled to succeed as a technical attacker.

On the flip side, what's the point of this shiny new recruitment team of ours, if all our targets end up being overpriced like this one?

FFS do NOT buy Gyökeres. 
Even the empty can Hojlund is better.. 

[Ultra'Blue 6]

Better buy evan ferguson 

[DDA 9,929]

He looks bang average. Bang fucking average. I feel like I'm trapped in an a never ending nightmare.

While I think the rumour is nonsense, the stats is misleading. 3/4 of those games he has been a sub. I am not sure if he has even started a league game this season but did score a brilliant goal for Villa in one of their league games this season against Palace and when he comes on it is usually very late during the game. FWIW I think he will be a really good striker in future. Has the physical ability and has good pace. Villa wouldn't let him go anyway as he is the back up to Watkins.

I saw him for the first time last weekend and he was decent after coming on. Didn't manage to take his chances but he immediately improved Villa's attacking threat, was able to hold off defenders and keep attacks going. Not an option for Chelsea but he can be a good striker in the league

Turns out after doing some digging.. the Sporting fans absolutely love Vikto Gyokeres. Say he's an absolute beast. One of their best signings in recent history. His game has evolved from his Conventry days and that he doesn't miss.

Both expensive. Guirassy for 15m is the only cheap deal available. Even a Firmino/Karim loan will have crazy wages to cover.
