Gonçalo Ramos

[Bilbo]

Are there only like, 5 strikers in europe these days? How in the world is this guy costing 70m+.

I think you've answered your own question there. Supply and demand

 

[Jericholyte2]

Seems like the most logical choice given price tag of him in comparison to Osimhen and Kane. Plus, we have other areas that need to be addressed that will require big investment like CM and CB.

If we look to trigger Kim Min-Jae’s release clause, that can be covered by player sales.

 

[sullydnl]

Of the strikers not named Osimhen or Kane, Ramos is the one I'm most curious about simply because (unlike Hojlund for example) he's at least been scoring freely in his current league this season.

Leaving price aside, how good do you think he could go on to be?

 

[pascell]

Nah, no we're not.

Smokescreen for Kane.

 

[whitbyviking]

I think Ramos is in the last year of his contract? Benfica supporting mate was saying they’re trying to get him to extend but he won’t as they want to increase the release clause. He also said that Ramos wants Spain and not the premier league or bundesliga.

 

[OleGunnar20]

I think you've answered your own question there. Supply and demand

Sure, but I don't believe the price is justified regardless. The guys only had two seasons of first team football I think? And only one of those with decent numbers.

Proper scouting can still unearth gems without paying through the nose. Just look at how Brighton keep plucking them out of nowhere.

Is he? I doubt it.
Contracted till 2026

Gut feeling or confident that's the case?

 

[Deco10Legend]

His form has gone downhill lately, he hasn’t scored for 6 or 7 games now. Of course he is young and has a lot of potential, but for the money Benfica are going to ask it is going to be a risk. Darwin, Felix, Enzo type of situation.

If you expect instant return for the investment it might not be the best option.

(Or I could be wrong and he adapts perfectly to the premier league)

 

[Kostov]

I think you've answered your own question there. Supply and demand

I don't think there will be much demand for this guy at that price.

 

[whitbyviking]

Is he? I doubt it.
Contracted till 2026

That's why I asked it as a question.

 

[Il_Cecchino]

Overrated. He is a good striker. But not a top striker. In PL he can play in a mid table team (ex. Aston Villa). Never, never a 100m player.

 

[aeh1991]

Oh no! I have a bad feeling about him.

 

[Deco10Legend]

I’ll be glad if United take him away from Benfica but that’s a lot of money.

Diogo Jota is a better and proven player and he cost like what 51m €? Yeh Ramos is younger and has a lot of potential but they want 100? That’s crazy.

Might as well brake the bank and buy Osimhen.

 

[Cassidy]

That's why I asked it as a question.

Correct response would have been thanks for checking and letting me know

 

[abraz79]

70-100M£ is a complete waste of money on this player. You can save this comment for posterity.

 

[whitbyviking]

Why would I want to justify your passive aggressive nonsense.

Don't see Napoli selling this summer

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

If we’re willing to fork out that kind of money then it should be going on Kane, all day long. Ramos is worth nowhere near.

 

[Oranges038]

He's nowhere near worth that money.

Napoli won't sell and Spurs will want silly money for Kane.

Rather just lump it on Ferguson.

 

[Plant0x84]

£100m for this guy seems A LOT when he’s being touted alongside Kane. Not sure he’s worth that much. Surely a Hojlund or a Ferguson would be cheaper even if only marginally?

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Has he been up to much? One spectacular world cup game aside I haven't heard much.

 

[croadyman]

He's nowhere near worth that money.

Napoli won't sell and Spurs will want silly money for Kane.

Rather just lump it on Ferguson.

What about Hojlund but keep tabs on Ferguson at the same time with a view to buying next summer

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

What stand out attributes does he have?

Is he rapid?

Is he hyper clinical?

 

[croadyman]

If we’re willing to fork out that kind of money then it should be going on Kane, all day long. Ramos is worth nowhere near.

Noises say Kane is top target and at least Utd have started the groundwork or so they say

 

[Oranges038]

Or just buy both now and get it done with.

 

[croadyman]

Brighton aren't selling 3 top players this summer

 

[Oranges038]

Brighton aren't selling 3 top players this summer

Every player has their price.

I think if they got a decent offer they'd consider it.

 

[croadyman]

Got serious doubts they sell two

 

[JPRouve]

Brighton aren't selling 3 top players this summer

Can't we purchase him before the other two are sold?

 

[croadyman]

Can't we purchase him before the other two are sold?

Not with the speed we do things

 

[Strootman's Finger]

Smokescreen for Kane.

Not a smokescreen but a boot in the ass to Tottenham. You have a player that wants out, we're one of the few teams to give him an outlet. Want to resolve that, don't drag your feet till Aug. Needs to be done, if we are to sign Kane, which we shouldn't.

 

[JPRouve]

Not with the speed we do things

We are no faster or slower than the rest but the question was more about whether the other players would necessarily be sold this summer.

Which has been my view. Send offer, tell them it expires June 30th. Look at other options.

Easy.

 

[Loon]

Smokescreen for Kane.

why not both?

 

[sebsheep]

why not both?

Calm down Todd Boehly

 

[Cassidy]

Why would I want to justify your passive aggressive nonsense.

Because there was nothing passive aggresive about it. You asked a question, I asked a question and then answered your question (I didn’t know the answer and was curious)

 

[trailertrash]

I mean Joao fekking Mario has scored the same amount of goals as him and has added 6 apples to 17 goals in Portuguese league, i'm not very sold.

 

[NoPace]

Could we cut 15M off this by sending them Pellistri? They don't seem stocked with proper wingers if they're playing Joao Mario and Aursnes out wide.
