Agreed, not sure why people rate him. Loan with buy option maybe to test his fitness and quality. But no way we should buy him straight off the bat. Edited by Goldfiinger (20 Jun 2018 11.48am)
I like the loan-to-buy option if the purchase price is decided beforehand (unlikely) Otherwise he is either a bust e.g. Bamford or a success we end up facing a very high cost to purchase e.g. Sakho

Like what? If we hadn't signed Benteke we could possibly be in the Championship now Those 3 goals last season made all the difference ? £27 million for 20 goals...that’s what just over a million a goal great value...Danny Ings would be a similar bargain ?

People rate him because, as a 22 year old, he was involved in 17 of Burnley's 28 goals in 2014/15. Since which he has basically been injured or getting little match time at a top club I like the loan-to-buy option if the purchase price is decided beforehand (unlikely) Otherwise he is either a bust e.g. Bamford or a success we end up facing a very high cost to purchase e.g. Sakho Wow I didn’t know he was so prolific at Burnley. Im hugely assuming here so correct me if I’m wrong. But was he playing a big man up top roll for Burnley that season? If so that doesn’t fit our style or Liverpool’s so might be part the reason they want to move him on? But if that’s wrong then yeah loan with buy option would be a good idea.

He usually (27 times) started with Ashley Barnes If we bought him, the natural position would be slightly behind a bigger striker - of which we currently have three to choose from

Maybe we’ll do annual summer business with them after all.. Mind i’d still totally say we should opt for loan with buy clause only.

He is a classy striker with nifty footwork. Plays like dougie did in his prime but with a bit more pace.

That translates to 17 goals - including assists - over a 38 game season - not too shabby Edited by se25 rudy (21 Jun 2018 12.04pm)

We should stop buying Liverpool cast offs and try and find someone who isn't so injury prone we already have sick note Wickham we don't need another to join him in the treatment room
