Made In Aston Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 2 hours ago, Steero113 said: £8.5m is hardly expensive for someone who's improved as much as Jaden. In 12 months he'll be a £40m player. Statistically he was the 3rd best player in the championship last season. We have seen similar performers like Bowen and Benrahma go for 20m+ so, I agree, it's a pretty decent deal.

carlitobrigante Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Emery is planning to try out both Rogers and Bailey as CF cover for Watkins in some games is what i reckon. Might help explain the extra wide men we seem to be stacking if some of them might be also used upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post duke313 Posted July 12 Popular Post Share Posted July 12 Happy with this. He tailed off towards the end of the season and Hull missed out on playoffs, but he was one of the best players in the league last season. If he'd never played for us, and was signing for Palace or Brentford, everyone would asking why we don’t sign players like that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamodillo Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 My only problem with the deal is the fact that we basically paid Hull £8 mill to have him on loan for a year. Bit mental financially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s that the player needs to train at the club for 3 years between the age of 15 and 21. At least that’s what I work to in Football Manager so it has to be true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit mental financially. It’s the wrong way to think about it imo. JPB was not an 18m player last season. By playing a full season in the championship, his value has risen far more than if he was playing for us last season. So while we may have paid 8m pounds to have him on loan at Hull, we can potentially recoup way more than that in the future if we were to sell. From a financial point of view, I think it’s a genius move. From a football perspective, it’s amazing too because if he is the real deal, we will benefit immensely as well. It was and is a low risk/ high reward move. Edited July 12 by Toronto Villan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burchy Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 (edited) Not sure he’s a replacement for Diaby as his stats seem to suggest he’s better on the left. Could we get Soule and/or Bakayoko for the right? Edited July 12 by burchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Philogene and Ramsey battle it out on the left and stops the need for McGinn to shift over there. Maybe we see Iling Junior as a left back?

Indigo Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 (edited) He played on the right in pre-season last year, and also not an insignificant amount of times there for Hull, so I think he's an option on that side just as much as he is the left. Nor would I say this proves anything about Diaby from the evidence we have, given he for the most part played as that second striker for Villa whereas Philogene to date has been more of an out-and-out wide player. The team generally lacked width last season - often by design - so I think he and Iling-Junior are coming in to possibly give more balance/options in that regard than just Bailey. It'll be interesting to see how we set-up this season because I suspect there'll be some changes, even if they're not huge. Happy he's back all the same, the manner of it all has been messy to say the least but I was gutted he went in the first place as out of that crop of youth players he was the one that always impressed me the most.
