Fail Fofana? So far Fail Lukaku - A sentimental buy that almost everyone on this board knew wasn't going to work. Kepa - Overspent because Marina decided to play games with Thibo. Pulisic - A marketing ploy Fofana - A crock. If we actually use our money wisely, the fee will almost be irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesman2610 1,417 Posted January 27, 2024 Share Posted January 27, 2024 Seeing reports we would be after Ollie Watkins this summer. This season could be a one off but he’s been pretty good at all the things we are looking for. Holding up the ball, bringing other players into the game and most importantly finishing. This rumour I don’t mind at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely don’t think we could have both but if it was possible then move Jackson out to the wings where he is better. Plus who is to say that if we do get Osimhen if he will hit the ground running at least you know what you are getting from Watkins. I would be okay with just Watkins if we could find a winger that scores goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we are getting like he is the bees knees now? Before this season no one had heard of him. Now he is better than anyone we have. He is 27, playing in one of the easiest leagues out for strikers. Can't remember the last time a striker came from Germany bar Haaland and actually did a decent job. Yeah, I would be careful with Guirassy. He has 17 Bundesliga goals and one assist in 1058 minutes. 3 pens. Undav has 12 goals and 3 assists in 1048 mins. So with no pens both have 15 goals contribution. Looks great on paper but looks like Stuttgart have amazing platform for them to succeed and score goals. bluesman2610 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but when you look at the quality of goals esp guirassy has scored that is still ingenious forward play. Great movement, nice crisp finishes and some really clever improvisation. The ability is there. However I do concede that his previous record and history of bad misses is a sign Guirassy is a confidence player and stuttgart indeed have managed to make him feel at home to unleash his full potential . Ideally we would find someone who is just so settled mentally and naturally unshakable-confident that he can shut out all the shit that is going on at our club and still score reliably. Our terrible conversion record at the club is a sure sign that most of our current players Fall well short here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres and lukaku put up good numbers in the PL. caicedo was PL proven. guirassy’s finishing is far beyond anything Wilson is capable of. He could only dream of these goals. His hold up and linking is good too. He’s just a late bloomer Yeah, because Bundesliga proven has counted so much better 🤣. I mean just look at the highlights and the amount of space he gets over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
