Dr Gloom 20731 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 1 hour ago, Polarboy said: The Jonathan David stuff is based on the word of Ben Jacobs. Not sure if he's much above an ITK or not, but you do hear his name mentioned quite a bit. David could be a very interesting choice given his versatility. He's largely played as a lone striker, but has played quite a bit as second striker and an attacking mid. It might take a bit of a tactical tweek and training ground work with the player, but given his supposed tactical intelligence and defensive workrate, he could possibly take up that position on the right side of our attack. He has played out wide, albeit only a little over a handful of times. To have someone who is versatile and comfortable as a lone striker could save us a lot of money if we keep Wilson and have someone like David as cover for the 9 and right wing position. It's for that reason that I thought Mbuemo was a good shout, but David might be even better. I've also read his fee would be around 25, 30 million, so considerably cheaper than Mbuemo you'd imagine, and definitely cheaper than Bowen, again assuming if that reporting is accurate. I don’t know much about him but he has 71 goals from 146 appearances for Lille. Could be worth a punt at that price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6453 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 They paid £25mil for him apparently, so it's not clear why they would sell him for the same price when his stock has risen. His market value is probably double that. I'd snap your hand off to have his as Wilson's replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed a sitter and his passing was average. Has age on his side and Eddie would like his athletism but will need to work a lot harder to make first 11.

Polarboy 2250 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I think it's possibly unfair to judge a player on one game, when he's playing for Canada who are ranked 48, against the number 1 ranked team in the world. Even professional football scouts watch a player far more than once. He's been prolific in his career in France. Would he make the jump to the PL? I don't know, but that judgement will be down to Howe, Mitchell etc. who actually know what they're talking about. Of course with so many teams looking for a striker, and with David's fee seemingly being more than reasonable, it's going to be a battle to sign him if we do hold legitimate interest. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 15794 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) 24 years of age… tbh I can’t think that I’ve seen him play (did he play for Canada in the World Cup?) but this sounds like the sort of signing that we’d make ie he’d help us get top 4 but perhaps not one to properly bridge the gap to Arsenal or Liverpool . We definitely need more backup for Isak.…scored the winner at PSG last season when Lille finished 4th…so there’s maybe something in it rather than him telling his agent to start agitating for a PL move..it is possibly both tbf Edited July 10 by PaddockLad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether Eddie would be willing to tweak the team a little, or David would be willing to play second fiddle to Isak as a more orthodox winger is another story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2250 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) There's reports in Portugal, so perhaps take them with a grain of salt, that we're currently favourites for Antonio Silva. Supposedly he's had a bit of a downturn in form recently, but he's still only 20 and clearly has immense potential, so buying him for a cheaper price than perhaps normal when his stock is down could be a very smart move. Reading about him he has all the attributes to replace Schar in the long term and would add a bit more pace in our back line.
