Hmmm, if we have requested him to be left out of their first team, would not that then imply he’s a target for our first team and not the U23’s surely !!
He’s quick, direct , strong and not too expensive, well worth a punt.

Plus he looks far better than Nunez, who everyone wants us to sign.

I think - because of the Europa League participation , and that Slavia Prague won the league in 20/21 - he already has enough points even though the Czech league is “band 4”

Looks a bit of a risk, but at around £7m would surely be worth taking.
Only 20 and has burst onto the scene recently, scoring in Europa league games including a nice one versus Leicester.
6 foot 2 inches and looks like he has a good leap on him. A few of his goals have been headers.
Can play as CF or attacking right sided. Versatility that Potter likes.
Looks pacy.
A goal every two games although at a level lower than the Premier League.
Rumours that West Ham were in for him a while back at a fee higher than £7m.
We have Welbeck in this season as our CF so no immediate pressure to make an impact and could be given time off the bench.
If he develops in the right direction we could have a very good value forward who has speed, strength and ability in the air. He is also good at pressing which is an important part of the modern game. Not sure that I saw that with Nunez.
Plus it leaves some budget left which we can use to get Cucurella over the line and possibly add another.

It's the aging overseas youngsters we are more cavaler about, I agree.

Yeh, lovely strike for the goal. But not seeing "immediate first team and an obvious improvement on what we have" when watching that.
More likely, will be competing with Zeqiri for an occasional cameo. Not sure we need another one for the future in this position. We can't give game time to the prospects we've got

Would much prefer Darwin on paper, but that ship has surely now sailed.
Darwin 40 million euros, Sima 10 million euros.
Plus Fabrizio Romano on twitter says a lot of clubs are showing an interest in taking Carlos Vinicius from Benfica, and they have been open in saying for a while he was the one they wanted to sell/bin.
Plus they're now in the CL group stages with the £20-30 mill that provides.
He started yesterday....... it's over.
Two summers I've been desperate we would get him, and it went nowhere.

It’s taken from one game against a top Premier League team. What were you expecting?

My Hair is like his hair
I thought he did well with a couple if Biss defensive tackles thrown in
Both please wouldn't that surprise a few.
It makes a change for me to spend someone else's money rather than my family spending all mine [emoji389].

Darwin aint coming..... if we get Sima it may mean we have money for a faster Gross in the centre..... e.g. Lingard? If we get a faster AMC, Sima and Cucu I will be well chuffed!

Straight out on loan according to Naylor if it happens.

As my Mrs says, "what is to be, will be." Really not sure if that was aimed at Nunez or my wallet.

Looks a rough diamond. Decent mobility. Only 20. 16 goals in 33 games last season. Put a bit of muscle on and could be the powerhouse target man we want. Sounds like good reasons for us to be interested, but also looks like a player that needs developing before he's ready for the Prem. Happy to be proved wrong on that point as was hoping for someone who'd make an instant impact.
Where did he say this?
