BRISTOL86 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Just now, Spike said: Seems like a lot of an 18 year old especially when we need a striker and a defender. He's rated very highly and Henry really talked him up last season but seems weird that we'd be paying a near club record fee for a young lad in a position we actually have quite a lot of depth in. Also, if he's a defensive midfielder surely this would be the end of Korey for us what with his injuries and such a huge fee on a player who plays in his position? A lot of depth? I don’t think we have one truly defensive minded midfielder at the club do we?! A position we’ve been crying out for forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonRobin21 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Hadn’t ever heard of him before seeing the link of twitter. He looks a huge talent (can only go off that single YouTube video). I would be extremely excited about this, £8m may seem a lot but this kid could be worth triple that off the back of his first season. If he was to add some muscle mass he could become an incredible DM with his ability on the ball. This could be one to really excite the fans.

One good season with us and we could be looking at doubling the fee we got for Webster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame about the Jamie Afro hair though Some French bloke on Twitter described him as "Very very good" Didn’t tweet ‘ mange tout’ or ‘ bain marie’ during that tweet did he?

Fontaineofallknowledge Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I understand he is similar to Lee Johnson in terms of style-keeping the ball moving, always available and lots of sideways passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fpcity Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Seeing as we've just got palmer and Sammy who play similar roles as this lad could we see palmer up top?

The usual sources have him down as a defensive mid which we’re absolute crying out for. He looks like a true box to box player to me from what I can see.

Spike Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 If that article is correct and there is a 20% sell-on then we'd need to sell him for 10 million Euros just to make 400k euros profit, that sounds very risky business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
