We have a lot of midfielders. He's not that good, I really really hope we aren't interested.
I used to know him through mutual friends and he has a lot of good sources in the club and agents
You’ve got to laugh…
Hercules: A lot of truth
We were talking about him in the Kane topic as a potential replacement last season. Nobody was up in arms but I mentioned because he had a similar style to Kane. As you know there was about 50 names thrown about last season to replace Kane.He was only mentioned once in here and that was bydudu

I would disagree with this. We’ve know for how long that we’ve needed to replace Lloris. If Raya was identified as the first choice, in such a key position, where he could be our keeper for 10 years, suits the style of our new manager to a tee and has genuine, proven quality, then is 40 million...thefightingcock.co.uk
This is what I'm saying, people weren't talking about him last season, like no one was up in arms we missed out on him but since he's now on the radar of a few clubs because he scored goals in the mighty Super Liga and the striker market is dead he's suddenly the striker we should be going for.
Sorry you're gonna have to convince me why we should be parting with so much money for a striker who's done it for one season in an average league.
If you look about you don’t see anything that screams he’s worth the £70/£80 million that’s needed to bring in a decent striker.
Osimhen won’t be an option
Sesko signed a new deal at RBL
Giminez is a bigger gamble than Gyokeres
Openda is not a central striker and is a hit or miss
Vlahovic would be decent
Kolo Muani - see Openda
David is an interesting one as he has scored goals regularly and can link the play.
Ramos has just came off a season not playing much
I think Gyokeres out of all of them is more of the full package and that’s why I like him. I don’t think we will sign him because we won’t play his release clause.
I’ve just been impressed every time I’ve seen him.
He’s 29 so he really doesn’t fit the profile we’re after nor does he really take us up a level - I rather see the youngsters given a chance tbh. I don’t think he moves the needle THAT much.
We’ve also been linked too him for several years so could be lazy journalism.
I don’t like players coming as ‘decent options’ really. Ramsey might be great under Ange but I can’t say I’m excited at the prospect. Ange wants the player who can move the ball from defence to attack quickly and seems to like Gallagher and Ramsey .There must be better out there but the club is also conscious of adding to our home grown quota.
Brentford put a bid in that got him to get off the pot I thought . Makes it sound like he abseiled down a building and crashed through a window to save the day . Where as it appears we messed around until Brentford made us act more swiftly
IMHO
We almost never have played him as a 10, which was incredibly stupid of us as it’s his natural position. He is NOT an 8 even though he might play like one sometimes in Argentinas system.
You can't just make players up mate, it's not Pro Evo footie here....this is a serious forum!
Yeah it’s bound to be bollocks, but I do think we need more experience in the team. However, not from him, he seems a bit of a bellend.
Selling Richarlison for £60m and replacing him with £40m Toney would be the best trade deal in the history of trade dealsThe scenes if we sell Richarlison only to bring in Toney
To dare is to do
He isn't a good enough passer to be the 10 IMO, but is pretty much perfect for the 8.
If we bought a #10 that can play on the wing, like Eze or Doue in addition to Ramsey, he would be a good signing, but we would need to move on Lo Celso, PEH, Skipp and 1 of Bentancur or Bissouma and loan Devine and Donley.
It would also be behind a Winger, Striker and LB (as well as Eze/Doue) in priority of signings.
#6 - Bentancur/Bissouma & Gray
#8 - Ramsey, Sarr & Bergvall
#10 - Madison & Eze/Doue
i'd rather we abandon the idea of bringing in a 4th choice Cb and just trust one of Phillips or Dorrington (probably Phillips) for that role. Also probably need to keep Davies 1 more season to provide even further cover at CB and LB.
Just focus on attacking options please.

Don't want his mother either!
Seems baffling to improve our strongest position when we desperately need a winger and striker.
I wouldn't mind his mother, as long as we stay clear of him. Although, she seems a real bitch.
I don't have a problem with any of this by the way but firstly there's a narrative being pushed as if we missed out on him last season and we ought to have gone for him - this is pure hindsight, just because he's a hit in the Super Liga doesn't mean that he would have been a guaranteed hit with us.
Secondly again this narrative being pushed as if he's the one that's gonna turn our fortunes around and we have to part with the money and spend £80m if we are serious is funny, I'd expect that of an Osimhen level striker not Gyokeres, the guy hasn't even played CL football.
This is what happens when a market is dead in a certain position, players get over valued because there's a dearth of natural talent in that position so selling clubs up the price because they know buying clubs are desperate.

He definitely had attitude issues in France but he may have grown up a bit in Italy.
He did become a bit of a game winner for Juve at the very least.
Conte said something about him not being suited to the PL.
