6 goals, 2 assists in 29 matches for a team that finished 4th? I would rather give Oscar Bobb a proper chance. We need a world-class RW, not another project player. We already have project players.

It’s worth remembering that Grealish’s goals and assist numbers aren’t the best yet he was arguably the most consistent and important winger all last season.

It’s not always about production - we have the Nordic freak for that. Sometimes it’s about bringing other things (control, work rate, unpredictability) to the table.

16 starts, goal or assist every 1.5 games aint bad. Profile is completely different to the wingers we have though which I like.

xA 0.41 per 90.
KDB is 0.50 for reference. Rennes strikers were poor.

Jokes on you for looking solely at his goals and assists numbers as if that is all the game is about.

I think Romano has just gone through a list of international wingers and thought ' mmm could see City being interested in him', especially after he was linked a few seasons ago

Reads well. To have such a high success % combined with high attempts is definitely impressive & something to work with. I’ve always felt the one thing we lack on the wing is somebody who is direct (for me Foden is the only player we have who is like this). I wouldn’t hate the idea of signing a player with this kind of profile.

That's the thing, not really a Pep player. Mind you, my knowledge of him is from YouTube and a couple of Belgium games.

Of course, but I just sense a bit of desperation. Let's sign whoever for the sake of it because it's been a long time, and we haven't signed anyone but Kovacic. I would rather wait a year and buy someone genuinely world-class. We already have project players.

Dont forget, though, it will take him a year to learn how to get in an attacking position and then recycle the ball back to midfield .....

2nd most take-ons in Ligue 1 despite only playing 1200 mins. Only Messi had more, 6 more in 1600 minutes more played.

This lad is fucking electric unfortunately he's also an absolute crock.

Nope, kinda shocked he's in the mix as well.

If it's true, of course. I doubt Romano knows what the club's list looks like.

Sounds better than "Doku's agent leaked to me...", though.

Same guy that broke the Sergio Gomez interest

Same guy that broke the Sergio Gomez interest

He’s reliable for Belgian players and their league

I’m personally not convinced we get either but for me;

Doku > Olise

 

[M16 citeh]

Swear we've been linked with this kid for years since Vince was his gaffer? Would make sense as we tend to track players like this for years before firming up interest. Id be all for it! Bag of pace and relatively unknown quantity in the league. Course it could be a risk too. Would prefer to olise definitely

Ship Gomez & Palmer (loan) and get both. Yes im greedy.

This could be a genuine possibility. Doku is good on both feet and can cover both wings, thus frees up Phil to focus on being an 8 or a 10. Olise to just cover RW and compete with Bernie. Palmer out on loan - Macatee and Bobb to get FA cup and Carabao minutes. Easy this D.O.F lark...
