When we reckon this guy will be announced?
Quite surprised it wasn't today, wasn't his medical yesterday?When we reckon this guy will be announced?
Yeah, perhaps everything is all done and dusted today with an announcement to come later. I reckon he'll be announced on Monday with Henderson, assuming all is well.The assumption that all of the photos of him were taken today, interviews done etc and perhaps all be made official tomorrow?
will it come free with your gas bill? if not I'll wait until its free to air by someone very soon....Did an interview with Der Tagesspiegel today around Forest and Awoyini. Will post up when it’s online but it’ll be behind a paywall
I get that people are understandably nervous but £17m for Awoniyi seems like decent business at the moment. The history of Premiership is littered with players who have cost more and delivered little so £17m while a club record for us is not that much by PL standards. Even looking at recent signings of strikers or wingers:
Everton's Alex Iwobi cost £27m
Spur's Steven Bergwijn cost £27m
West Ham United paid Eintracht Frankfurt £45million for Sebastian Haller
Newcastle paid Hoffenheim £39.6million for Joelinton
Alvaro Morata cost Chelsea £72 million
Alexei Sanchez cost Man Utd £30m
Leeds paid £27 for Rodrigo
Sofiane Boufal cost Southampton £17 million and scored just 7 goals.
Lets not forget as well that while we paid 13m for Carvalho we didn't shell out much anywhere else and even in the Championship there have been some very hefty fees for players ... of these only Neves would be approaching PL standard:
Matt Ritch £11m for Newcastle
Jordon Rhodes £10m for Boro
Scott Hogan £12m for Villa
Helder Costa £15m for Leeds
Boro paid £15m for Britt
Rueben Neves cost Wolves £15m
Yes only time will tell but we're going to have to pay these sorts of fees and we're gonna have failures.... just hopefully not for a long time..
I understand your reasoning but if we want to stay up needs to get several more than that imo. We shall see.Karlan Grant went to WBA for 17m and he’s crap.
If Awoniyi scores 8-10 goals next year then he’s worth the fee.

Around 10 goals each from Awoniyi and Johnson should be more than enough. It's a very tough league and survivors of the Premier League sometimes don't have their main top scorer reaching double figures.7-10 will be more than enough if Brennan chips in with a similar amount as well.
If you are expecting more like 13-15 goals from him, look at the players that managed that last year! That is a massive ask.
If he gets into double figures he would have done very well. Especially if he’s not on pens.
I understand your reasoning but if we want to stay up needs to get several more than that imo. We shall see.
It’s not necessarily all about goals scored-it’s often about what a striker can do for the team i.e bringingI understand your reasoning but if we want to stay up needs to get several more than that imo. We shall see.
If we get him I will streak naked down my street whilst drinking champagne.
