Scored 1 in 3 in Serie A for Sassudo. The few times I saw him play for Roma, he seemed to be playing wide, but looked good.
I agree that he is technically good but his goal scoring record is dog average. For that money I would expect more. The EPL is a tough environment with generally less space and plenty of defensive blocks so we need someone who brings that little bit extra to the party.
Every goal he scores knocks £500k off the fee we'll have to pay to complete the Talisca signing in January, so this is a positive for us.
With this and the Jaydon Sancho England call up, we've had quite the windfall this week. Hopefully means we don't have to sell Will Hughes to Wolves for 1.5m just to balance the books on jan
Actually Muff have first dibs on Hughes as they r our rivals - they want him for their left wing to balance the Brooks.
We could do with him today. Need a couple of strikers in January to provide competition. Stuparevic is one. Also need another CB to provide cover and competition at the back.
This one has surfaced again today https://www.udineseblog.it/udinese/...il-nizza-per-thauvin-defrel-verso-il-watford/ Will Gino finally get his man?!
32 and doesn’t get many goals . Classic Pozzo signing! https://twitter.com/louorns/status/1744038154917576996
Even though he’s listed as a central forward, he’s more of a playmaker. Hence the low volume of goals. But he’s fast and is hardworking. This would not be the worst addition in the world and would be an upgrade on what we’ve got this season.
He can also play as a left-footed right winger, which could be handy as it would mean we can ditch Ince who is crap and out of favour.
Could be a useful addition, got the experience of playing at a high level which is probably what we need with quite a few young, raw attackers who need a bit more polish. Definitely the sort of profile I think we should be looking at
Genuinely forgot Ince was still with us. It would be nice to have an attacking option with some proper pace. We did seem very one-paced in our attacking play yesterday, with only Andrews really capable of outrunning anybody.
As was the case with Ashley Fletcher, when Pozzo wants someone he'll wait years to get them, even if they're total sh!te. Welcome Greg.
Maybe it's time. We are a skint champ club now. We can't afford to buy the flashy forwards with all defrels anymore.
