As I said earlier in this thread I can see this one being an additional striker. The fact it's being reported by Naylor that we have received bids for Hemed would suggest that he might be off.

Ropey league but just seen a lot of his goals on a scouting site. He can really finish. Good start. Very left-footed but instinctive.

Very left footed?

I disagree. Watch his goals again. Like some strikers, he'll not try and move the ball to his preferred foot (left peg) all the time and he's happy to shoot with his right. Check out his 2nd against Ethiopia, that is a sweet right foot he's got.

If we was in the championship and signed this lad for 3-4 million we'd be reasonably happy indeed.

Good prospect possibly:)

Exactly.

It's impossible for any Premier League club to buy a 21 year old striker for £3-4m.
£14m seems a little steep, but 'only' by a couple of million.

He may turn out to be a bargain, time will tell.

£14m to me is a lot of money, to Tony Bloom not so much, in Premier League terms it's a pittance.

Yep, although I do feel the fee is more than just a pittance, although not as much more as others would think.

Naylor has just tweeted Fee for Dwamena is around £10 million which is getting pretty close to bargain basement. :nono:

We bid 8 million and that was rejected, can't see we would have offered the 13 million they wanted.

Well placed source on Twitter suggests the deal is worth £9.6 million with add ons.

Paul Merson's been on tonight. "...Dead Certs for relegation,"

He's a dead cert for a hangover. Can't remember the last time he said anything of value.

That would have been "They're all cuddling each other - they've got love bites and everything."

But since then? Nothing.

I'm fine with that amount.

We've got to get used to paying 'Premier League Tax' which means we'll get charged two or three times more than the player is valued by any team outside the PL.

Why? Well as other have pointed out, if this lad gets 10+ goals in the league this season, at only 21, he'll have probably doubled his value.

£25m man Iheanacho has hit 12 goals in 46 Premier League appearances (many as sub). It's not unreasonable to hope that Raph could equal or better those stats.

Exciting signing, lots of talent.

Hard to know if this is it for forward signings this window - maybe 1 more in, 1 out ?

He should be with us tomorrow for medical and sign with a bit of luck everything will be complete by end of week also maybe the other player we are working on will be with us to.

Woah back up there sparky, other player? Or are you talking about Zohore

And Iheanacho got those stats playing in a title challenging side!
 




What difference does it make of hes only played at 2nd tier football he cant be that bad if he plays for his country. What the videos show is if the can get into the box he can score...I would be more concerned about whether he will get the service to get into the box. Murray has his faults, last year he ran his heart out and kept coming back to the midfield/defence at times but in this division we need the strikers to save their energy and ready for runs into the box..

Also, nobodies mentions a certain Bobby Zamora...He started life in the lower leagues and wherever he went as he worked his way up the league ladder he scored..This is another young lad who can only grow in confidence (assuming he gets the service)

I suspect also that a few of the new players have a relegation clause built into their contracts just in case though :)
