Kyogo Furuhashi - on final striker shortlist

[Keeper!]

So is this guy any good? His stats look impressive but mine prob would in scottish league

Bench warmer and occasional minutes, sell thousands of shirts and will probably be shunted off to NYCFC in the summer.

Looks like Kenny Dalglish

Yeah that fact makes me think it’s rubbish, when do city do opening bids. It’s all hush till the price is agreed. First bid is usually the last

People often say that, because an itk once said it. But it is most likely not true as we have seen multiple times. Clubs negotiate, and submit and reject offers if unhappy with amounts, terms, structure etc. Ours included.

But yeah I do think the claim itself is rubbish.

Bookies are offering odds on his 'replacement'

'list of odds for Kyogo transfer replacements
Lawrence Shankland 2/1
Hwang Hee-Chan 5/1
Aaron Connolly 6/1
Taiwo Awoniyi 13/2
Chris Wood 9/1
Tom Cannon 10/1
Raheem Sterling 14/1
Anthony Martial 25/1

Doesn't particularly mean anything other than a growing perception of an expectation he will be sold.

Also let's be honest, his stats look alright. Sure a couple of seasons ago, he got 27 goals, but last season, it was 19 in all competitions and only 14 in 38 in the league.

So he’s behind Cyriel Dessers and Lawrence Shankland?

You can get Shankland for £3 million

Personally I think he fits the role well. Good work rate and a decent finisher, has a knack for being in the right place. Age isn't a concern as we're especially looking for someone who doesn't expect to start right now but can offer a different option on the forward line.

Decent transfer fee, if it fails we don't stand to lose much. I'm not arsed about shirt sales either way.

Most pleasing is that we're obviously looking at a certain type of striker, hard working technically competent and low risk. If it doesn't come off, and I can't see why it wouldn't if we're just a few million away on valuation, then fine also, but could be that extra few goals a year that we need to keep our noses in front.

Sterling is on that list! Must be easy being a bookie. Take advantage of people who don’t know anything about football and watch free money roll in.

I think it's more his work rate and movement we are interested in. Also his wages will be pretty low and I would imagine that at his age if he joins he will be content to sit on bench.

Yamete yamete! Iku Iku! I've heard this often in Japanese videos I watched.

Are they the ones with irritating high pitched screaming...??

Think they make more money from people that think they know all about football.Hello I'm blueparrot please take my money.
