Agreed he looks a good prospect, and obviously he's already off the mark but he's still relatively unproven.
As for comparisons to the Albion and what they should/should have done instead, its all a bit premature until our striking line up is complete and we're a lot further into the season.
A 21 year old striker who's never played in the UK. Of course it would have been a massive gamble even for the more widely reported £10m.
And likewise for Mounie.
I'll save you the bother. I'll say it now.
We need 2 new strikers . We won't be able to rely on just Glenn Murray this season and if the bids are there, and we have a replacement lined up - we should sell Tomer.
Except lots of clubs want to sell as well and players want to move. .
As for Saturday. Yes.. But our 3 injuries ( brown, Murray, baldock) would have tested most clubs.
Well not always. And not poor.
We bought Ulloa for £2m and he scored a fair few that got us to 2 play offs and then we made a £8m
Profit on him back when strikers didn't cost £50m a pop.
We paid buttons for Murray who scored 23 goals and helped us to the top division for first time on 33...
He's had one season in ligue 1 , is 22 and cost a hefty £12m. Let's wait and see if that works out.
Wagner then rang CH and said blimey Chris - strikers are expensive this year aren't they.
Not according to Warnock ""We’ve not had an offer,” Warnock said. “I don’t know where it’s come from. I think Hull are probably trying to pacify their own fans by saying things like that."

The Cardiff chairman did not say that and made a non denial denial.
"'We have NOT received a £10m offer from Brighton and we have NOT accepted anything. This is complete rubbish..he would only go if we received silly money"
So thus
- Not denying the Argus and local Cardiff reporting that...
Sounds like, from Naylor and others reporting; club are interested in Dwamena, Zohore and Niasse + possibly other (s)
Have made formal bids in the 8-10m range for some or all, won't spend over the odds and its now pretty close.
Yep. But All transfers are complex these days especially dealing with foreign clubs, agents, and the premier league etc.. See this good piece by Brian Owen in the Argus on how the transfer for Maty Ryan was finalised...
Well sourced reports that we bid £8m for Raphael Dwamena only a week ago.
And there was no reporting anywhere that we'd had a £10m bid for Propper and a £13m bid for Izquierdo accepted until the day they both put pen to paper.
