Well it’s only 2 million euros more than our first bid, don’t think they will budge.

A striker that doesn't score many. . .
He'll for in nicely, but don't we have this position covered?

I expect that like the Ben White deal agreement will be reached via a series of bids. I can imagine that if we have an offer in for Percy at €3m, as suggested, we add this to our bidding strategy.
It will all be in the add on too. Say another €0.5m for each year we stay up in his four year contract, extra if he scores more than 15 goals in the league, extra in we finish above a certain point in the league and maybe a small % sell on. We are looking to buy this guy for his abilities as an out and out centre forward, his goal scoring ability plus his future worth.
This rumour is too specific to not be true, just like the Cucurella one. No smoke without fire.

Yeah but the rumour is of a bid. Really no surprise there. The real surprise would be if Benfica were willing to sell him (and that we’d be buying an injured player).
This from E Bola yesterday:
“The hiring of Ukrainian striker Roman Yaremchuk accentuated the idea that there are too many strikers in Benfica's squad and the seven names that are currently available to Jorge Jesus for at least two, maybe three, to try to sell or, at worst of the hypotheses, lend.
Yaremchuk, Darwin, Gonçalo Ramos and Rodrigo Pinho stay, Seferovic, Carlos Vinícius and perhaps Waldschmidt, for different reasons, are for negotiation. The first, Swiss international, awaits developments in the short term, after the great European he held, being most likely the player Benfica will be able to sell better, perhaps close to the desired €20M”
He won’t be £150k per week in wages though, in addition to £30m and little to no re sale value.

6 goals?
Or a guy who’s got 9 assists in 29 league games
Or a guy who’s averaging a key part in a goal (ie scorer or assist) on over 50% of league games
Or… the best one… a guy who scored an astonishing 5 goals in 7 games in the Europa League - one of footballs biggest competitions…
Depends how you want to dress stats up or down…
This.
The thing for me is whether we improve the team when we sign a player and does it address a need.
My feeling is this will.

If the club are genuinely pressing to sign this guy, then I trust the club know what they're doing and can see him being the perfect fit. They haven't got too much wrong over the past few years.
That said, I'm not buying in to what is being said in the media. We're very good at keeping things quiet so I'm fully expecting a totally different striker to be holding up a shirt before the season starts. Time will tell, just need to be patient.

3.5 weeks to go
Either way can't wait for the window to slam shut. I hate the beginning of the season.

If Benfica need or want to sell it makes sense for them to release info on our bid in the hope of enticing other interested parties to the table. This one is going to be played out in public whether we like it or not...

Or a guy whose had both knees operated within the space of 3 years? Would we get another Ulloa or another Izzy?
Won't be us if we have competition then ££

Thats my guess too and the sale of Ings would allude to it too. If he goes to them its another case of us needing to get in and get the deal done quicker in future before other prospects have time to get a sniff. Our targets do seem to be targets for quite some time.
