It would definitely be a like-for-like swap.

 

It literally is.  Over the past 5 years;

Wilson 
Played 130 - 49 Goals.  Missed 114 Games

DCL
Played 136 - 39 Goals. Missed 88 Games

That's the 'simplified' stats.

This is an interesting watch.

 

 

Gemmill will love his pronunciation of Mbomo  

[The Fish 11476]

No point in signing DCL. He's 28, he'll command pretty high wages, isn't a reliable goal scorer, and won't be available for half the season. Sooooo similar Callum Wilson then, who has at least been a reliable goal scorer.

 

Delap is younger, plenty physical, looks a real prospect and will at least retain his value better than DCL. 

 

Evan Ferguson is an interesting shout, there must be a reason why he's nopt played as much. I'd guess it'll be partly due to injuries and partly due to being Irish and you know what they're like.

DCL would be a right throwback to the Shefki Kuqi and Sibierski days and he'd have less impact than them. 

 

If we can't get someone in the Delap category than hopefully a Mitchell European prospect who can backup Isak, no idea who though given our budget constraints.

Pragmatism vs Fantasy. FANTASY WINS. 

 

FLAWLESS VICTORY 

[Ayatollah Hermione 15199]

Not wanting DCL but wanting Evan Ferguson, a bloke who has had one good game against us and then two years of looking like a total donkey is out of this world

Ferguson is 20 years old. 

[Gemmill 52942]

He's a fucking cripple.

And he’s been farmed out to West Ham because a 34 year old Danny Welbeck is ahead of him

[Gemmill 52942]

Aye Brighton love developing young talent. It's their business model. But they've given up on Ferguson. 

[Holden McGroin 8097]

Aye. Let’s write a 20 year old off because it hasn’t worked out at a club.

 

NO ONE in the history of football has ever come back from that.

Ohhhh someone feeling a little delicate because everyone has poo pood your idea that DCL is a no no? 

[Holden McGroin 8097]

Liam Delap would be the ideal pick to backup Isak but he’ll have a lot of suitors. 
 

he might want regular football to progress as well.

Or more accurately, let's not spend £30m+ to find out cos can we fuck afford an expensive mistake.

Jonathan David is an option, especially as he's out of contract, but keeping both him and Isak happy would be a headache. 

In an around the consistent 'Isak to Arsenal' rumours, I can see them ending up with David instead.

David's signing on bonus and wages will make him no cheaper as a free transfer than just spending proper wedge on someone else

That £30m (not sure where you get that figure from but let’s roll with it) can easily turn into £60m with Eddies track record.

Well it was £33m for Minteh who'd never played a PL game, so yeah let's go with it.
