Diomande will go for way more than Gittens.Gittens had a good season at Dortmund last season and cost £48m. I can't see this lad going for much more.
The underlying numbers say he keeps up with Yamal Diaz Doku and that he’s off the ball work rate is very good, and he’s both footed. He’s Doku esque. Ball to feet and thrives in beating his man and creating chances. He’s quite incredible. But I doubt the club is in a rush it get him. Definitely someone I wouldn’t want our rivals to get.
Leipzig historically are tough negotiators, well with us atleast! Josko took a while to get doneGittens had a good season at Dortmund last season and cost £48m. I can't see this lad going for much more.
Agree I would say he needs another year at that level to prove it before that fee is justified by us, like Josko.Haven't seen enough of him, but always an extra element of risk with Bundesliga attackers
In the last 18 months alone the below attack minded players have made the move from the Bundesliga to the Prem
£116m Wirtz
£79m Ekitike
£74m Sesko
£69m Woltemade
£60m Marmoush
£52m Simons
£48m Gittens
£30m Tel
£30m Frimpong
These aren't bad players and they have chance to come good, but other than Ekitike I think most would say that they overpaid
Thats not including most of the other overpriced players like Sancho, havertz, Nkunku, Aubamenyang, Pulisic, Haller, Werner etc.
Ironically we've had the best hit ratio with Haaland, KDB, Sane, Gündogan etc.
Like what ive seen on YouTube but £100mil? That seems a huge risk to me
Agreed, hes too much of a risk at the momentAgree I would say he needs another year at that level to prove it before that fee is justified by us, like Josko.
However that said others may not
Sesko has shown real promise 11 goals in 17 startsHaven't seen enough of him, but always an extra element of risk with Bundesliga attackers

They’ve got too much to do imo to pull this off.Scousers written all over it imo.

TBF Sesko’s real stats are 11 Goals in 30 Appearances.Sesko has shown real promise 11 goals in 17 starts
Omar has played well in patches but has Håland infront of him.
Simons will come godd with a proper manager
Yes did say they aren't bad, but Sesko cost £74mil, what youve said is an honest return but for £74mil I think you'd expect moreSesko has shown real promise 11 goals in 17 starts

I think they know they wont get it right for a few more yearsThey’ve got too much to do imo to pull this off.
Need a new CB or two, a RB, LB, rebuild midfield, a LW AND replace Salah it’s too much
Yes but he is no dud in my opinion. He is a you g striker who has come to the league and shown real potential.TBF Sesko’s real stats are 11 Goals in 30 Appearances.
4 of his goals have come off the bench
I think that all those players have been played in the wrong position, Savio was a LW in spain, Marmoush was a second striker in germany and Reijnders was a far more attacking midfielder in italy. Not saying they would have been brilliant for us if we played them there but we haven't given them the chance to showcase there full ability in my opinion.Ah, we know the story.
Omar ripped up Bundesliga defences,
Sav did in Spain,
Reijnders in Italy.
PL seems to be a parallel universe and it's a gamble if players make the step or not. Also in terms of personality and resilience.
PL proven players are lower risk but higher price.
I agree regarding the price tags. I think Sesko will prove to be an astute buy. It is his first season and he is young.Yes did say they aren't bad, but Sesko cost £74mil, what youve said is an honest return but for £74mil I think you'd expect more
There is a reason why he was limited to 17 starts, and the 11 goals you mentioned 4 were from off the bench, so 7 goals in his 17 starts.... again not bad but not great either
My point wasn't that they are bad players, just overpriced and most have really struggled to adapt to the league
Simons is bobbins. People think Lewis is lightweight, same applies to Simons. Always looks like he is about to start crying.Sesko has shown real promise 11 goals in 17 starts
Omar has played well in patches but has Håland infront of him.
