Some strikers can make up for any lack in heading ability with other skills, ala Thierry Henry. But I guess that's where the question mark comes with regards to Gyokeres. What are the other tools he has in his locker to overcome PL defenses in these kind of situations. Strike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, it wouldn’t be a dealbreaker for me. It’s just strange. Especially for a guy like Gyokeres who is a massively powerful guy.

Vesper 30,320 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Bayern Munich https://thedailybriefing.io/i/164701696/bayern-munich Jonathan Tah yesterday had his medical as a new FC Bayern player as planned. Deal done until June 2029 for the German centre-back as he leaves Bayer Leverkusen on a free transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but Henry was one of this generations best players who could do virtually anything 🤣 Where as Gyokeres scores a bulk of goals having run 25-30m virtually unopposed onto a long ball or goals in which the standard of defending is absolutely diabolical to the point I reckon Jackson would score 30-40 goals in Portugal in that Sporting team. Look at Darwin Nunez & Jackson Martinez in the past also. If no big club gets a deal for him done in the first 1-2 weeks of the window that will tell everyone exactly what they the big clubs really think of him.

He had an average scoring record in the Championship. Now he’s hit a stride in an average league - and I’ve heard much more hype for the winger we’ve signed than Gyökeres from people who know the league. I think he’s decent enough but not worth the money and wages over the other targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,158 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 11 hours ago, Strike said: There's good hold-up play and a range of finishes in this compilation. Realized he's right footed only when I watched the penalty he took. He's got a good left foot. Useful weapon and hopefully can play against low blocks and not just in transition Impressive. Reminds me of Harry Kane but faster than Kane. But very similar attributes. Both like to drop deep, both like to back in defender and make turns. Both like to shoot from distance and have good striking ability and also looks good at bringing other players into play.

mkh 627 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Chelsea goes for Vasco attacker Rayan after work from Alyson Marins, who passed information onto Sam Jewell. The Blues would like to send an offer of €15-20m, but his release clause stands at €40m. Chelsea want the gem from Vasco.

Arsenal's first choice (only 2 CFs on the planet they would take over him are Håland and Isak, plus if you count him as a CF, Mbappe) is Julian Alvarez. Gyökeres rounds out the 5. They also would probably take Lautaro as 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you all happy with him? I feel Jadon, Noni, Palmer and hopefully Estevao all have something to offer that other players cannot. Neto's skillset is too simple, no end product, no good against solid defence. He is 25, a player who makes a living with his pace but has a solid injury history, I don't feel his ceiling is any more higher. Well this season, he has been quite solid with his fitness. Missed a brief spell in November for around 2-3 games, no more. Other than that has been injury free this season. Reddish-Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s now their best attacker and as a Spanish speaker is probably loving life in Spain. Why on earth would he leave there so soon for one, and why would Atleti even consider selling him? And if they ever did surely it would have to be well north of £100m. Stats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulvhedin 526 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Having Jackson, Delap and Etikite as our STs seems a bit too much? Unless Jackson will be used heavily as LW, but nothing suggests that under Maresca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isak is in the same category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
