The true baller 972 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Wouldn’t pay anything over 5, good player but just look at Brighton (and them) the players are there for small fees. Then again, he is only 22 so plenty of room for improvement, plus we can punt him for 12m+ if he keeps this up. plymouthranger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moaned all the time about Kent’s lack of numbers, so can’t complain too much when he keeps sticking chances away. He has scored double the goals Kent did last season already. Kent can't get a game for his new club now and has deleted all mention of them on his social media. I'd much rather have Sima of the two. He is a team player and has a great attitude. I think Clement will develop him into a cracking player. Leftpegcoopz11, WilliamMunny, GlasgowRangers1983 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The play had stopped for some reason and Sima was over by Clement. Clement had his hand over Simas shoulder, said something to him and patted him on his way. Moments later Sima puts us 1 up. Here's hoping positive signs Drunk and disorderly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueshoff 12,902 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 It's a bit of a catch 22. If he excells with us , we want him but the price goes up. If he doesn't he becomes affordable but we don't want him. Would imagine if he does well his sights will be set on the EPL.

rossco87 796 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Have to put my hands up, I had written him off as the worst of the summer business early on. He has proven me wrong big style and given me a bit of hope that with some decent coaching and man management our summer transfer business might not be an entire write off… Boybluesy and Paisley Blue Loyal 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al 55 9,536 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Seems he just a very natural finisher to me, he struggles with the rest of the game at the moment. You often find with players like him, at his age, he’s not good/experienced enough to be played in his natural position, and is pushed out wide where he looks like a fish out of water. Theres plenty of room for PC to improve his game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLaudrup 5,097 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 It too early to be talking of making him a permanent signing. It is frustrating that one of the better of the summer signings is one we don’t actually own. There is still too much football to play this season and time for his form to go either way. Also, I think the return of a fit Danilo can have a big impact to the front line. BlueAvenger, Bad Robot and graeme_4 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben10 2,328 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Rewatched the highlights from the weekend. I honestly thought his first goal in the europa was a fluke after first impressions of him but my oh my that guy knows where to put it. Even his second was majestically placed. He will score the half chances that are so miserably wasted by others Boybluesy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 56,524 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I can’t see any scenario where he isn’t only here this season. Brighton signed him for a fee that would be big money for us and if he continues to do well this season they will be looking to make a profit on him.

LegendofCoop 18,165 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 He's definitely hit a bit of a purple patch, I just hope it isn't just that and he turns into a real player all season. As others have said, the better he performs, the higher his stock becomes, and rules us out of affording him. Best we can hope for is him leaving with a couple of trophies and a good run in Europe behind him. Also, would be good if we have inserted a sell on clause in his loan contract.

Diallo when at us just didn’t look ready to play a bigger part in our team. He matured and performed at Sunderland. There was also a lot of excitement around the Ramsey signing.

The Archer 1,439 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Like Matondo I said he needed time and plenty playing time, none of them were simply poor overnight from where they came from.

I reckon if we really wanted him and he performed well we could get him for less than 10m. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
