DCL could go either way. He certainly won’t be a great signing, he could be a good one and in all reality may well be a disastrous one. He doesn’t score enough, and he doesn’t play enough. If Leeds magically unlock the player who had 1 good season, they’ve nicked a gem. That scenario seems a major long shot. There’s a reason why it was us or Leeds. He basically begged top clubs and they didn’t even have a convo. I can see why he’d be worth a punt, but he isn’t free, his salary will be massive on a free. It’s a massive Hail Mary signing him.
No. Essentially half of his career goals came in a season and a half. He’s never looked like producing that before or since. He isn’t a **** player. I won’t say that. He’s just a gamble and a low scorer.
Agree! I know we've varied our model a bit in this window....of course we needed to....but this is way outside what we'd want.
Yep,sympathy mate.We've had these players before,glad we've avoided this one. Having said that,he is a talented player....he'll probably come good for you and get 15 goals! Nothing would make me happier than to see Leeds and ourselves cement ourselves in this league and have a real good go at upsetting the mediocrity that exists from places 10 to 15!
Think for £34m he’s decent value. Outscores his xG and underlying stats suggest he’s ready to explode. Would fit the profile we are looking for I think as well. Surely one we’ve atleast had a look at and hopefully the mystery striker imo
I think we will see how Saturday goes before we go into the market for the last few days of the window
