M_Afro Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Can’t wait for the next new thread to start up with the name of a player................Who will it be? My bet is I’ll never have heard of them . Can’t beat the anticipation of a google search followed by a YouTube fix! Bring it on! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keener window-cleaner Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I kept an eye on Bowen yesterday in the Hull - Chelsea game, thought he looked class. He wanted the ball and showed for a pass all the time, something always happend when he had the ball, great movement, ran at defenders, looked quick, strong despite his length and with good technique. Played well against a strong Chelsea team so he should be able to cut it in the PL. If he is available we should go for him. If we go down he would be great to have in the Championship. If the price is around £15M we should go for it. One thing though is that going for Bowen perhaps would mean we wouldn't go for Benrahma as they are very similar players. I'd take them both, but if our plan is to take Benrahma in the summer and we only go for one perhaps the plan is to wait for him. Not sure we will get Benrahma in the summer though, and if he continues to perform perhaps bigger clubs will come in for him. So given that I think I'd still go for Bowen now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be great either side of a good striker although I'm liking Grealish in the front 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long time since we've done any last minute business in Jan but I reckon this season could see a rare change for that as we have so much to lose if we don't get the right depth in this squad.

I think longer contracts (as transfer fees are spread across contract years) is also as likely as loans... and no-one pays all the cash up front whether it’s a loan or a straight transfer. But I’m sure you may be right in this instance that it’s part of the thinking if we are after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then next season, after Benrahma and Bowen have had poor patches and the fans no longer think they’re the next Ronaldos, we’ll bring in two more wingers and have 5 on the bench. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
