You just gotta love all these transfer rumours and conjecture.
I don't think we are in a position to sign one player who is going to solve our issues. Prolific goal scorers are as rare as hen's teeth and would cost close to £100m in today's market even if we could convince them to sign for us without champions League football.The thing that worries me the most is that the plan seems to be getting Jesus as a starter, and Nketiah as a backup.
Jesus won't be enough to solve our goalscoring issues. In fact, he's still not a great goalscorer, even though the potential is here.
It's worrying that Arteta has been looking for a tall, fast & lethal striker like Vlahovic & Nunez, and now he's settling for Jesus which is a total different player. It seems like we don't really have a plan here, we're just chasing available players.
We're not getting top 4 when you don't have a single 15 goals player upfront, and having such a low goals output from the rest of the team.
The gap in quality with the competition would still be huge.
I was hoping we were getting 2 strikers, but it doesn't seem like it's the case anymore.
As long as we already convinced Jesus to join us, we can play the waiting game here and end up with Jesus for 35mil.
Wouldnt call 30-35m particularly low. Its different from Fiorentina offering €5m over 5 years and a bottle of Ragu pasta sauce for Torreria.Going from what the forum says in other threads we should stop "disrespecting him" with these low offers
Me too, we'll be playing Gabriel & White up front otherwiseThink a deal around 40m is an excellent one. Hopefully we get it done around there, in time for pre season.
Would be the least riveting Threadmark of all timeDon’t think Gary Jacob is particularly reliable but I added a threadmark so @Red London has something to look forward to when he logs on.
