Sounds more like win win than no lose

He reportedly wants 150k a week though which actually makes it a win or lose situation

Same thing surely? 2 scenarios both win... Win win.

But yes add in the wage demands, the potential for him actually being shit makes it more of an unknown rather than a definite win / no lose situation

150k is fine for a player you think will lead your line for a few years then make a profit on.

Absolutely but that's assuming he leads our line for a few years and then we make a profit. If he fails here we don't get our money back because no one will pay them wages. So it's not win win or no lose as some claim

It's a silly debate but I think you're talking about a win draw rather than a win win

Personally though I don't think hes very good. So a decent chance of a lose

Yes but I'd completely ignored those so in my scenario it was just those two 😂

But yes on reflection there's countless others that make it less guaranteed.

I'd say no and a massive gamble on the salary front. 150k is Probably the wage for a 60m player ,
that's the only bonus is he comes and works out we sell for double , treble

150k over 4/5 contract 30 /40m sell for 60/70

If he's our main striker then put faith in him and give him the money. I don't know enough about him but would rather if we were going prem proven someone like this than a Danny Ings scenario

We've finally cleared out all the ridiculous contracts we've been handing out these past few years. Handing someone 60m over 4 years cos they've had half a good season. He looks nothing special

I think he will be really really good and would love us to pull it off. But think he will go United or Newcastle :(

Doesn't seem that special to me. 12 goals this season in the premier league. How does that stack up against Betos half season under Moyes. He comes across as a Charlie big bollocks. It's a no from me.
