This i can understand but it needs to be cheap money we spend. The guy does work hard and is enthusiastic. But if it was me I'd stear clear and try to find someone else. He's never gonna be a world beater. That being said if we're looking for a third choice striker then I guess he fits the bill well. Just at some point I think we'll need a second choice as well. Transfer fees are going up exponentially I feel and are lead by the top transfers, 200 mill from Neymar in the summer. This trickles downwards in valuations so for us what was a 5 mill player is now a 10 mill player. Basically to get a half decent squad striker we will be looking for between 10 and 20 mill now unless we can find a bargain close to the end of his contract. Cheap is unlikely.

SP would not pay his agents fees in the summer, why on earth would he suddenly change his mind now and pay them ? Sounds like nonsense to me. Reports in the press from both Everton and Palace indicated the deal was all but signed when the player’s agent, at the last minute, suddenly asked for a large increase in his payment. Things have changed since then.
If you come to a fork in the road, take it. |

If he's not good enough for Everton, he's not good enough for us.

Not got a positive view of the guy, but his 5(?) goals this season would have been worth 4 points for us, putting us just behind Everton

As has been stated earlier we have a different manager and coaching staff since we were interested in the guy in the summer. If his agent is just assuming we will still be interested he may be in for a shock. I am not convinced by him and he would appear only to be a replacement for the Benteke position rather than adding optional forward play for us. One thing in his favour he does appear to be able to score. Mind you , you would have said that about Benteke last season so no guarantees he will continue scoring anyway. It is a no from me.

Good points. So we would have Tekkers, Sako, Niasse and Wickham when fit. Looks very narrow in terms of ability in front of goal. Need a nippy striker with timing and finishing. Dwight Gale

I suppose that's something that should be taken into account.
