Get him to the Greek (Deal Confirmed)

Status
Not open for further replies.
His overall play might not be that great and not suitable for a club in the top 6. But I can see him developing into an attacker who can score more than 10 goals every season in the premier league. Most of the clubs which finish between 10 and 20 in the league score only 35-45 goals in their entire season. So having an attacker who can score 10-14 goals will be gold dust for these clubs as it may help them stay in the league. I can see us getting close to 20 million even in this economic climate.
Sure he might score a few here and there but the problem is, his all-round game isn't very good.
I honestly think Jones is better atm despite being 4 years younger than him.
 
I thought he was going to be ace but he's a fanny, he'd be better off in France or Italy where everyone is a fucking fanny

Agree regarding the all-round game and the fact that Jones is better. But Wilson can score goals and a winger who can score close to10 goals will be invaluable for a team like West Ham, Crystal Palace, Burnley etc. Just as a comparison, Zaha who is supposedly at his peak only scored 4 goals this season.

Zaha isn't scoring because other teams mark him out of the game. If he was playing for a better team with more stars it goes without saying that he'd have a lot more space then he's currently getting at Palace.
Anyway, I might be wrong, there's apparently several teams looking to sign Wilson and going by what we got for Ibe, Smith and Solanke. Sure a bidding war might lead to something close to £20 mill. I wouldn't do it though.
 
"His free kicks are worth £10m alone"

That is not untrue. Between free kicks and a few long shots, he is guaranteed about 5 goals. For a team in the lower half of the league, that could definitely be worth 20M.

I think we should be able to get 15M plus add-ones for goals/appearances.
 
A question for the believers , if he's as good as you think he is how does only have 3 international caps for a country ranked outside the top 50 in the world ?

Presumably there's some great Greek left back we're all unaware of ?


Actuallly looked into this.

And their most high profile player and captain of the national team is Hoffenheim's Kostas Stafylidis.

I'll give you 1 guess at what position he plays.
 
Interestingly enough. Google has Lewis, Robertson and Kostas all at the same height. 1.78m.

Robbo weighs 64kg.
Kostas and Lewis 70kg.

For some reason, I thought Lewis was much taller.

I suspect we will see the usual Klopp development schedule, play the odd game as a substitute and hopefully get more games as he climatizes. I think this is actually really good for Robbo, we have been lucky with injuries so hopefully, this lad will be able to come in some games and take over especially in cup games. Maybe we could actually make a go of the FA Cup for once?
 
Not to side track this thread but I don't think any team is willing to pay £20 mill for Wilson. Sure the boy is a decent player but if the tables were turned, would you pay £20 mill for Wilson if you were looking for a left winger for a premier league team?
Especially in this economic climate?
I don't think so.

This is the same argument against paying £40m for Sarr, another winger who had a reasonable but unspectacular season for a relegated side.

Surely that's got to be worth something... Every other player in that top 6 cost £30M+.

If the first was true the second couldn't be said.

Might not have been completely clear - I meant they hadn’t loaded any debt from the purchase on the club and any subsequent loans were seemingly at zero interest.

Which seems fair.

It's not exactly the same because Watford paid £30 mill for him so there's already a price reference.
Sarr is also more experienced than Wilson despite being a year younger.

Yeah I looked it up too.

Did you notice his stint in England ?
 
Why does Greece never produce any decent footballers? It's dead weird.

I can't remember one top class Greek player in all the time I've followed football.
 
Oh noes, Stafilidys couldnt get a game for Lambert in 2018 while on loan at Stoke, meaning that Kostas is shite who havent taken his place in the Greek national team. So that again means that the player we have bought wont be any good.
[bcolor=#fdfbf8]Is that about right?[/bcolor]

Does he at least have two legs? Thats a start I guess compared to Virgil.

Why don't you give us your usual overly positive one word summary of the player we've signed.

Boss ? Ace ?

Care to offer an opinion ?

I don't actually know that's true. We still had a significant amount of debt after the takeover 110m plus - I don't recall it ever being confirmed what that was owed in respect of.

I would love to, but I’ve only seen him play one game. So I have no clue about how good he is or how good he can become. He had a good game against Wolves, thats about it.

We’ve been following him for 3 years, so I’m guessing the recruitment team have done their job, as usual.
He’ll be a decent back up with a higher ceiling and could potentailly leave for a higher fee if he doesnt get enough games or one of the younger players step up. Win - win.

If you search for "boss" posted by Hansern, one of two things will happen - you might break the site or you'll see a list that's 10 pages long of all the players he's called "boss"

Here's a brief summary:
Neco Williams
Matip
VVD
Naby in Germany
Valverde
Ox
Fabinho
Van de Beek
The home kit
Varane
Woland
Isco
Lozano
Shaqiri
Brewster
Boateng
Kovacic
Ceballos
Alexis Sanchez
Dolberg
Brandt
Veratti
Clyne
Woodburn

The ace list does break the search function.

So Brizzle I suppose give the wide range of what boss seems to mean is this Greek lad Woodburn Boss or VVD boss ?

You have no clue , then make up some bullshit, then claim he'll be good and it's a win win ?

Are you capable of critical thinking ?
