[Albion] Divock Origi

[Bald Gull]

I’d actually prefer Origi to Brewster as long as we bring in another striker who’d be a top U20 talent such a Arsenal’s Balogun (it’s rumoured that our £3m bid was turned down).

Origi has top level experience, he also seems like a much bigger unit with the sort of strength and power we need but he still has good pace. Origi has also played a number of the forward roles where as Brewster seems a No.9 and has very similar strengths to Maupay & Connolly.

Where did you see this? I saw there was something about Sheffield United having a bid turned down but not us...

I think it would very much be a risk worth taking. Dream world of course but if we could spend 20-25 million and pick up Origi and Balogun I would be well pleased

Me personally - I think it's a hell of a risk spending c, £14 mill on a striker that has played a full 90 minutes once in the llast 3 years.

His minutes to goal average should be decent if his body has not been worn down by the grind of the season, but has he got the stamina and mental fortitude to perform at a high level week in, week out?

No othrr club has made a move on him despite him being a bit part player for the last 5 years. Is he too comfortable in his supporting role being surroundd by world class players at Liverpool and Belgium? Is he a closer, not a starter? These are serious questions for me.

I'm so glad you're writing this stuff.

It means when my knobbish glib comments are challenged I can actually point to your posts on the fella and say 'that's what I meant'.

Charming!

Switching my hopes to this thread from the Brewster one now

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Reported that Sheff United have had a £25m bid accepted for Brewster

Can’t see Origi being allowed to leave unless they have someone lined up?

the only worry with Origi is I think he may think he is a bit big time for us.... I may be completely wrong about him of course.

Brewster has a lot to prove etc. And I like signing young players who have ambition etc

The Sheffield United Brewster deal ruins any chance of Liverpool selling Origi then.

If they did sell both that would leave them with just Minamino and possibly Shaqiri, who they're also trying to sell, as back up to the front three. I can't see them leaving themselves that short up front and there don't seem to be any indications they're trying to sign anyone either at the moment.

I wonder if he's just happy with his achievements.
TBH I think I would be, adored by much of Liverpool, never needing to put his hand in his pocket again, while earning a massive wage.

Disagree.

Out:
Brewster (with buy back)
Origi

In:
Sarr
Joe Hardy (promoted from U23s. The 21yr old scores a goal per game in Premier League 2)

[southstandandy]

I wouldn't bet against us bringing in someone who hardly any of us had even thought of. Just the Albion way like the Veltman deal. Just hoping whoever the club are considering comes to fruition fairly soon.

Can we buy Joe Hardy instead?

If anything does happen this’ll be the most lightly scenario in my mind.

 

[Kosh]

Sadly, Alex Dawson is no longer with us

Alas, ‘tis true

Ritchie Barker could still do a job though...

Could do a job seemed to be catch phrase for signings when we were so shit that we were scratching around nominating past it players who were almost down to pub level. Don't hear it much these days, it's become "not what we need", even after a season the touted player's club had won the Premier League

Hulk, could do a job?



Heh heh heh

I still reckon he’ll be the under the radar one...

I mean I guess technically he did score a goal a game in the PL2, but that's over 3 games. Prior to that he was playing in the Brentford B team, who famously do not run an academy within the FA's 'Elite Performance Plan'


Connolly
PL2 19/20 | Games 2 | Goals 3
PL2 18/19 | Games 15 | Goals 11, Assists 2


Hardy
PL2 19/20 | Games 3 | Goals 3
