Billy Whitehurst 227 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I sit next to a Dutch lad at work, big Feyenoord fan (fucking loves Dirk Kuyt). He’d be delighted with €20m as they’ve just got RVP. He reckons he’s good in the Dutch league but will struggle in England and would put him on a level with Luuk De Jong. Thinks we should have gone for Locadia instead. Link to post Share on other sites

David Kelly 451 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Anyone looking for someone who scores a load of spectacular goals is kidding themselves. This kid looks like he scores plenty of the goals you want a striker to score so in that sense he'd be a signing I'd be more than happy with. Of course the caveat is the number of players in general (Kezman, Alves, Jansen etc) and for us in particular (De Jongs, Tomasson, Rob McDonald) that have done well in Holland but wank over here. But if we're behind Rafa we're going to have to trust his judgement. And it's no good saying it might be a player who's way down Rafa's list, because Rafa can't have players on his list that are much more expensive than this as he must know he's got no chance of getting the money for them from the fat cunt. And those other teams like Bournemouth, Brighton, Huddersfield etc that have broken their transfer records aren't buying players for a load more. Of course this is if this actually comes off and there's certainly no guarantee of that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
PaddockLad 2,811 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Chris Woods, Leeds to Burnley 18 million this summer. That's the supermarket we're shopping in. It's not exactly Waitrose or M&S food hall Link to post Share on other sites

ewerk 6,572 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Wood has scored as many as Joselu this season. That's the risk involved in a striker for that sort of money, it's far from a guarantee of goals. Link to post Share on other sites
Tdansmith 1,026 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I never heard of Jorgenson before we were interested tbh. Looking at his goals, lots of tap ins or easy headers, so what, isn't that a forward being in the right position ? £20 million and £50 grand per week is a shit load of money to me, but not to the Premier League, it's the going rate. I'll not slag him off just yet, i made the mistake of slagging off a forward we just bought a while ago as he scored lots of "tap ins" at a lower level. Andy Cole was the fella's name Link to post Share on other sites

Ayatollah Hermione 3,854 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 That Jorgensen isn't playing tonight. I have no idea about the context or importance of the game but let's just assume he's signing and that's that. Link to post Share on other sites
acrossthepond 219 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 According to .com he's suspended. Andy Cole comparisons are all very good but the gulf between the first division and the PL was different then, and the Dutch league has been nothing but a breeding ground for PL flops in recent years. Both de Jong donkeys look like world beaters in the Dutch league. Wijnaldum was the same, though he adopted to the PL better than either of them and can't really be called a "flop." Klaassen is another big money failure who just came over from the Netherlands in the summer. Depay, Altidore, Alves, Bony (looked good in his first season but certainly appears a flop now), Janssen, Tomasson, Kezman...the list goes on and on. I'd much rather have Slimani. Gameiro too obviously, not that I think he'd sign. Link to post Share on other sites
