He looks like a typical target man on YouTube highlights. Be a weird one. Doesn't look like an overly good player apart from his size. Kind of BTEC Lukaku, who at 20 actually looked pretty impressive actually.
BTEC Lukaku. You ain’t selling him to me lad - I wouldn’t want the real Lukaku let alone a poor imitation.

I’d take the NVQ Lukaku if we lose Ronaldo

I've watched a couple of highlight videos and seriously he looks bloody terrible. Awful.

And that's from his highlight videos ffs.

Smells like BS. Leipzig just trying to pressure Ajax to pay up more money.

I like Brobbey and want him back at Ajax. But not at any cost. He is definitely not ready for Premier League yet. He has talent, but needs to develop.

I refuse to believe there's anything in this, because I simply don't want there to be. Rather give one of the kids a go.
Physically they're no where near ready though. McNeil and Hugill would be the real no 9s and they'd get destroyed in the prem.

I'm not sure either will make it regardless of physicality.

Is this the best we can do, I hope ETH isn't underestimating the EPL.
This is one too many Dutch/Ajax connected player for 1 window.

I've only seen him a few times, but I got the impression that he's a bit Altidore-like. If we sign him, hopefully I'm completely wrong.

Same, mainly because if true it'll confirm we're being way too short-sighted this transfer window.

First we went Ronaldo to Owen and Valencia.

Now Ronaldo to some nobody who cant even get on the pitch in Germany, so shit RB loaned him back.

This is nothing more than the media knowing we could be losing Ronaldo so they've stated that are looking to sign a Dutch striker.
How do they come up the name? Well, they simply insert their hand into a hat and pull out a random name. Expect a new rumour tomorrow.

England:
The kind of player Watford signs and then scores six goals all season.

No way he does that do Ajax
I'm starting to think if maybe behind the scenes ETH and Ajax left on no level grounding. It is strange that much of the transfer criteria is centred around them but if it works successfully this season it's to the managers credit.

This guy looks worse than Jozy Altidore. I’m legit sweating right now, man. This club will be the death of me

Anytime I watched him, he looked some clumsy in his build-up play and not great in terms of finishing. Not sure why we would go near him to be honest

It's so crazy that every single player we're linked with is a former Ajax player....Im all for a new manager going for players he knows but every single signing?

If they're selling a striker for 13m im sorry but that probably tells you his level.

Could also be an element of wanting to hit the ground running. Players he already knows helps the existing members of the squad transition to the playing style easier.

Having just found out that Diallo cost the club 40 million I can see why ETH would have reservations about the scouting network at the club. Ultimately only time will tell if the approach is somewhat genius or ridiculous.
