But he's cheap. Don't you understand our priorities?Say Kane's out with a long term injury, then Wilson has to cover, does a guy who has only reached double figures once in his prem career inspire confidence?
Not for me.

Saints fans always bash whoever is about to leave themNow the Prem is going to be so condensed next season and we know we will have Europa, a back up striker is essential. Ideally I would prefer somebody better than Wilson but we don't have limitless funds and have areas in our regular XI that we would be better served splashing out on so for 10m, I'll take it.
Hojbjberg is the one I am worried about, I understand there seems to be a lack of top draw defensive midfielders around atm but it stinks of us going for an easy and cheap option. Southampton fans also don't seem to rate him at all so that worries me. I presume we will probably sign a right back as well, I expect it to be Aarons from Norwich again just because it is an easy option and we'll be able to get him from a relegated side.
If that is to be our transfer window Wilson, Hojbjerg and Aarons isn't exactly an inspiring window is it.
True say. It's a shame that the SCBC label has fallen out of use, summed them up to a teeDon’t get me wrong, I’m hardly jumping for joy at the signing of Hojberg, but Southampton fans are proper bitter bastards. They were saying similar things about VVD when he was leaving so go figure. If Hojberg come out and signed a contract expressing his love for Southampton, you watch them all say what a great player he is. Bitter bunch of cunts, well known for it.
I share similar concerns about Holbjerg. Has he been properly scouted or are we just looking at him based on his stats Have we scoured the whole of Europe for a defensive midfielder and come to the conclusion he is the best man for the job or is he an opportune signing. I reckon he is the latter personally.
That'll toughen him up if anything.Some chatter that Parrott might be going to Millwall on loan. I think that would be a good move for him.
I think he struggled to live up to the hype at Barca. 10 goals in all comps in his first season over there. 13 in his second. 9 goals for Bayern. And then we can add on a bunch of assists as well. Which to me is perfectly fine numbers.
My guess is that maybe he is better off at a club on the level below the club that subscribes to the league title year after year.
A quick google says that Bayern paid 8.5 mil plus wages.As an attacking midfielder/creative option he’s probably the best available. I’m sceptical we will pay what Bayern did for him on loan though. Weren’t they crazy numbers?
The thing is who can we get who has got double figures in the prem? It’s either get someone who has experience of the premiership or take a punt on someone else being able to adjust , either way who ever we sign is going to need to be able to stay sharp while say on the bench as Kane will play 99% of every single gameSay Kane's out with a long term injury, then Wilson has to cover, does a guy who has only reached double figures once in his prem career inspire confidence?
