What brought about your change of mind?Changed my mind... You're right.

Liverpool can get flexible forwards because they have a goal machine on the right. If they didn’t they’d be looking for a goal machine.Based on our options, maybe we should get a flexible forward instead (like LFC have done again and again). Nkunku could probably be a really good option.
Brobbey? Is he that massive lump? Are we Burnley?If we do end up with ten hag, I can see him bringing Brian brobbey with him. Ajax product, playing for Ajax on loan from rb Leipzig, so even got the RR connection and looks a really good young player
he is but he is also 19, a lot of room for development. Great return at youth level and being trusted at first team with Ajax, so there must be something about him. I suppose all would depend on cost alsoBrobbey? Is he that massive lump? Are we Burnley?
Salah was not a goal machine prior to Liverpool. Neither was Jota. I agree that we need a forward that is a goal threat, but that forward dont have to be a striker like DCL or Isak. Not when the options appear to be DCL or Isak.Liverpool can get flexible forwards because they have a goal machine on the right. If they didn’t they’d be looking for a goal machine.
I wouldn't sign Haller either...he is but he is also 19, a lot of room for development. Great return at youth level and being trusted at first team with Ajax, so there must be something about him. I suppose all would depend on cost also
Hell no. He would cost a lot of money, has been injured a lot this year, doesn't seem to have a great head on him AND he's a Raiola player.If we do end up with ten hag, I can see him bringing Brian brobbey with him.

wasn’t aware he’s a raiola player. That info genuinely is enough to change my mind on any playerHell no. He would cost a lot of money, has been injured a lot this year, doesn't seem to have a great head on him AND he's a Raiola player.
And also there is no connection to Rangnick. Rangnick left RB in the summer of '20, Brobbey signed for Leipzig in the summer of '21.wasn’t aware he’s a raiola player. That info genuinely is enough to change my mind on any player
Maybe, but strongly rumuored to be Dortmund's Haaland replacement.Karim Adeyemi is having a very good season with RB Salzburg, young, quick, left footed.
Maybe a good shout to replace Greenwood in the squad?
Ahh is he? He's German too, he'll probably stay there until Bayern come in for him? That's the drill isn't it?Maybe, but strongly rumuored to be Dortmund's Haaland replacement.
Good question, difficult to answer. He actually already was at Bayern in his youth, but they then let him go from their academy due to attitude problems or something like that, he then went to their small neighbours Unterhaching, who then sold him to Salzburg.Ahh is he?

Thanks I wasn't aware of that. The attitude problem is a warning sign, especially after recent news. Just looked up his goalscoring record this season in the league, 10 in 11 games. He's flying.Good question, difficult to answer.

Looking at their squad Bayern already have similar and still young players in their squad like Sane and Gnabry, he isn't really your classic No9, more someone who likes to run at the defence. Think more of Vardy than of Lewandowski as a comparison.
I wouldn't put it this way. He joined Unterhaching at age 10, the issues he had at Bayern were as a child. I don't think you can draw any conclusions from this time for his current character, I just wanted to point out that he has some negative history at Bayern, so it's not exactly known how he feels about that.Thanks I wasn't aware of that.

Cool, thanks for clearing that up.I wouldn't put it this way. He joined Unterhaching at age 10, the issues he had at Bayern were as a child.

We might have to compete for Harry Kane's signature now.We don't need a striker. That will be Greenwood's position for years to come.

He's absolutely worth a punt, I agree. Impressive work rate to go with impressive maturity in his play for such a young age. I like him a lot.Posted this in the other thread. Keen for thoughts of anyone who might watch him regularly -
Charles De Ketelaere seems a total Rangnick signing to me. He’s played all across the attacking midfielder spots and even filled in at LWB recently. But he’s most often a false 9 or second striker. Tall, skilful, hard working and has enormous potential. I can see him playing a Firmino role next season, teeing up the likes of Elanga, Rashford, Sancho and Gr… err never mind
He's not exactly prolific though, would have to step up his goalscoring rates somewhat.He's absolutely worth a punt, I agree. Impressive work rate to go with impressive maturity in his play for such a young age. I like him a lot.
You’re right, in that 10 in 24 in the Belgian top flight isn’t impressive. We would need more goal threat for sure. He’s 20 and has only really just gone up front this season so there’s definite potential to improve.He's not exactly prolific though, would have to step up his goalscoring rates somewhat.
I'd rather we went for someone a lot younger who will be with us for a long time...We might have to compete for Harry Kane's signature now.
I guess it depends a lot on the new manager and what style they wish to implement, you don't always need a striker who can score bucket loads if you have a goal scoring midfield and wingers.You’re right, in that 10 in 24 in the Belgian top flight isn’t impressive. We would need more goal threat for sure. He’s 20 and has only really just gone up front this season so there’s definite potential to improve.
Regardless, though, I don’t see him as the prolific goal scorer type. He’s hard working and creative. No slouch as a finisher but not clinical. However, maybe he could be a Firmino type for us and enhance the likes of Rashford/Elanga/Sancho/Amad/new signing.
Belgian top flight is very defense minded. Play him in Holland and he would score a lot more. It doesn't mean that much. He's not an in and out striker, but can surely play that role. He'll end up a very good player.You’re right, in that 10 in 24 in the Belgian top flight isn’t impressive. We would need more goal threat for sure.

He'd certainly be a very natural fit for Ten Hag from all I've read about the way he uses his current CF tactically. But he does also seem to pick up more than his fair share of injuries.....DCL? Seems a good fit for Poch or Ten Hag seeing as we would end up with either of those two coaches
Everton would probably ask for £100 million, it's too expensive buying from prem teams.He'd certainly be a very natural fit for Ten Hag from all I've read about the way he uses his current CF tactically. But he does also seem to pick up more than his fair share of injuries.....
Not quite so much, I think. They're in an awkward FFP spot by all accounts and will need to sell one of their big assets this summer. Looking on Everton forums they're talking a price of around 60m, which is pretty much what I'd expect any striker intended to be first choice to cost us.Everton would probably ask for £100 million, it's too expensive buying from prem teams.
