Mattteo appears to spend a significant amount of time compiling screeds of information about an array of players not playing on these shores so I give praise for his efforts and for the fact he has supplied the details in good faith in order to be informative. I suspect there are those who take a single look at the protracted list and simply do not bother to peruse the information about players who they have simply never heard of and is of no interest to them so perhaps his efforts can be wasted in this respect. Being somewhat cerebrally challenged I have to admit that my 'Grey matter' has real difficulty computing "Minutes" in relation to the playing time as it is programmed to think in terms of "Games". Apropos the 'Valuations' I simply have no idea whether this is a personal view or is attained from some website or software package.It is a 'Moving picture' of course and probably bears no resemblance to the fee commanded by the player when he is sold. In the main I have found Mattteo's list of player analysis useful. Edited by Willo (26 Aug 2020 6.04pm) Get a room you two..!! Can you imagine the output Matteo with apparently infinite time to research, compile lists and stats, coupled with Willopedia and responses following Willo having swallowed yet another dictionary..!! If we go into Lockdown again winter evenings will just fly by...!!! 🤦‍♂️

Talking about strikers going out and their market value...and this is all guess work because I haven’t contacted all the chairmen yet. If Hugill was just sold by West Ham to Norwich for a reporter 5m then what is... A. Benteke worth? Hugill managed 13 league goals last season on loan for QPR. It’s only the 2nd time he’s hit double figures in the league. Wickham has actually never hit double figures in the league. But could he be worth something similar? Benteke at first glance should be worth a lot more but his next club have to cover his high wages which reduces the value. I’d say if someone offered us 3m for Wickham take it. If someone offered us 8m for Benteke I’d say take it and try to reinvest that money in a younger player who shows some promise. I’m thinking someone to join the squad as a bench player...and hope we still sign someone like Mateta or similar. Edited by Hudsoneagle (26 Aug 2020 8.23pm)

Heard a second hand rumour (don't know the source) that Meyer might be part of a deal for Mateta. Might just be someone seeing a nice way to solve the problem but has anyone else heard/read anything promising about this. It would be good if true, but big if of course.

Interesting story in HITC that Newcastle are considering loaning their striker Yoshinori Muto back to Mainz from whence he came thus freeing up Mateta to come to us

So many strikers from abroad seem to struggle to adapt to the PL with expensive examples like Slimani, Musa, Joelinton and Tosun springing to mind.

Yep add Haller to that who've commanded a large fee but not really delivered.
