Does anyone know how many goals and assists of his numbers come from set pieces
Looks like Eze has one year on his contract at the end of the season too which will be same as Bowen once they trigger his extension.Not sure that Bowen is good enough for the top level; can see him being a solid player for a mid table club! Eze on the other hand, looks like a player destined for the top
Bowen has 44 Championship goals since the start of the 17/18 season. 35 were from open play, 5 free kicks, 4 penalties.Does anyone know how many goals and assists of his numbers come from set pieces
Thanks manBowen has 44 Championship goals since the start of the 17/18 season. 35 were from open play, 5 free kicks, 4 penalties.
To put those numbers in perspective he has scored more goals than anyone else in the Championship over this period and the only players comparable to him are strikers who do little else but score. Even if you remove his set piece goals then he still would be scoring far more than any other winger or attacking midfielder.
For example if you compare him to Eberechi Eze whose name I see being mentioned in this thread then Bowen has a miles better scoring rate, twice as good chance conversion rate and has a higher percentage of open play goals. They are both very talented young players and Eze might well end up as the better player but Bowen's ability as a goal scorer is really on another level entirely to the QPR player.
For £20 million he's absolutely worth a punt though. He's definitely on the level of James if not better. 50 goals in the championship in 3 seasons as a RW.Think he'll be a flop in the PL.
We must have the most useless scouts out of any top club. In fact maybe the worse in the Pl. Even if we’ve watched him heavily I’m not convinced our useless scouts would be able to spot a decent player if he walked up to them and pissed in their faces.If we haven't shown interest, I presume there would be a reason why. We have surely watched him heavily, as he ticks many of the boxes.
Daniel James was exactly this kind of buy.We must have the most useless scouts out of any top club. In fact maybe the worse in the Pl. Even if we’ve watched him heavily I’m not convinced our useless scouts would be able to spot a decent player if he walked up to them and pissed in their faces.
We never seem to do anything “clever” in the transfer market. It’s always obvious players for extortionate fees.
Recommended by Ryan Giggs.....Daniel James was exactly this kind of buy.
Bowen achieved far more in the championship to be honestDaniel James was exactly this kind of buy.
The 20m isnt an issue.For £20 million he's absolutely worth a punt though. He's definitely on the level of James if not better. 50 goals in the championship in 3 seasons as a RW.
Why is he any different to James?The 20m isnt an issue.
Playing him for 1 season while being a flop is.
He is nowhere near as fast as James for one.Why is he any different to James?
James didnt deliver this season. Along with him is top 4Why is he any different to James?
Yeah but James isn't anywhere as clinical as Bowen even if it's in a lower league - it's worth a shot.He is nowhere near as fast as James for one.
Probably nearer a Danny Ings type
Negligent? The chances are we looked at him and decided he wasn't an option we wanted to pursue. You can't sign every player just because they are available.Yeah but James isn't anywhere as clinical as Bowen even if it's in a lower league - it's worth a shot.
We lack that left footed players on the right except Greenwood.
Seems a bit negligent to be linked to all these young English players as well and be desperate for a forward & not go for him when his numbers are good both transfer wise and stat wise.
He even seems a player that seems on paper that plays the same type of football that Rashford, Martial, Greenwood play (on the floor football) & sure we might be needing something different with an aerial presence but if that isn't happening then this isn't a bad deal at all.
A forward is a forward & we are adding a forward to our injured area.
But we can go for Josh King and Ighalo...Negligent? The chances are we looked at him and decided he wasn't an option we wanted to pursue. You can't sign every player just because they are available.
They are strikers, Bowen is a winger. If we wanted him we could have signed him, I'm saying it's not negligent just because you're not signing everyone that's available. We might have sights aimed higher for the summer. It might go tits up and we can't get those targets, that doesn't mean we should sign other options now.But we can go for Josh King and Ighalo...
And currently we play a striker or a LW in the RW position... a striker we could actually play as a striker....They are strikers, Bowen is a winger.

We didn't want Bowen...And currently we play a striker or a LW in the RW position... a striker we could actually play as a striker....
Yes and we're stupidWe didn't want Bowen...
Well that's already been established. It still doesn't make us permanently signing a player we didn't want negligent.Yes and we're stupid
I just think going for a player like James just because Giggs says he's good whilst Bowen is racking up numbers in a position we are weak in for a near decade now is negligent.Well that's already been established. It still doesn't make us permanently signing a player we didn't want negligent.
Not wanting him is what makes us negligent. Its not hard to graspWell that's already been established. It still doesn't make us permanently signing a player we didn't want negligent.
