Quote from: Villafirst on September 08, 2020, 05:59:31 PMCheap considering fees for strikers in this League. Havertz to Chelsea for £85m? Haller a flop to West Ham at £45m? Joelinton a flop to Newcastle at £40m? I think Ollie will do well for us. He is young, has pace, can hold the ball up and a decent scoring rate.When you look at them this guy could be a bargain

I suppose it puts those penny pinching claims to bed.
I like this boy and agree that he is a much better buy at £28M than Nowandthen Wilson at £20M.
Really don't get our strategy sometimes. We've waited weeks seemingly low balling Brentford with bids and now we're signing him for potentially 10m more than most of us predicted (if he does as well as we all hope some of the add ons will be met).Also with the fee I get the feeling he's our starting striker this year so huge pressure on him to hit the ground running as we need a striker with that sort of price tag to get more than 4 or 5 goals. Hope he's up to it.

A lot of money, but if we can push the boat out, get Benrahma in as well as he was the top player in the Championship and combined so often with Watkins. Watkins will certainly need a better supply than our current wide players provide, assuming that Smith sticks with his usual formation.
I’ve never understood why us fans talk about the money aspect likeIt’s our money - it isn’t - it’s the clubs whether it’s revenue based or owners holdings.If he does the job I couldn’t careless how much he costs.

After watching his goals from last season, nearly every one comes from wide areas, we defo need to improve our wide to get the best from him.

This is an excellent signing in my book, not sure why we insist on qualifying that with 'yeah, but we paid too much'.
