CONFIRMED Lys Mousset

[true99blade]

Everyone! Let's get to over 100 pages so it's nailed on not to happen!

 

[bladesfc]

He's only played a full 90 minutes for Bournemouth once last season and in that game he scored, so I wouldn't look too much into goal scoring record as it is a bit misleading imo (https://www.transfermarkt.com/lys-m...ails/spieler/291422/wettbewerb/GB1/verein/989)

 

[Rodley]

 

[Houso]

I think this is instead of Maupay and we're after McBurnie too.

Genuinely surprised if we're looking at an outlay of over £30m on a three strikers. Strange times we live in.

 

[DazBlade88]

His goal record is deceiving to be fair. The 58 appearances is less than 1,200 minutes which averages at 20 minutes a game. I don't think you can judge anyone based on that return.

 

[Billyblade]

I'd be very surprised if we spent 10m of our budget on a striker with such a low strike rate

Or is it that we've got that much to spunk he'll be back up to our existing strikers, Maupay and McBurnie?

 

[GroovyBrad]

Well he did get 1 in 2 for Le Harve, so he knows where the net is. Maybe Bournemouth didn't play to his strengths?

And 5 in 8 for France under 21's

Wouldn't be over the moon with this if it was the McBurnie alternative, however he is still young and has bags of pace!

 

[mattbianco1]

10 Million?!

And people were moaning about the supposed Charlie Austin interest.

Mousset has 55 appearances in the PL with 3 goals to his name.

Not prolific. Not even been playing regular for AFCB, seems to be another typical CW signing.

scored 3 in 58 PL games. Of those 58 games, he's only started 8.

Must be "rising to" £10m, surely

EDIT - BOTH his goals last season were when he started.

 

[Blade for Sale]

Adrian Littlejohn had pace though. Pace with ability is good, pace without ability is bad

Adrian Littlejohn bagged 8 in 27 games the season before relegation as a 2nd striker, including a screamer v Liverpool and a very clever finish v Wednesday. He was a much better player than people gave him credit for.

 

[Mouth of the South]

And despite what he's achieved, plenty on here are doubting CW's judgement, even though, I would guess, most of the naysayers having not even seen him play once

 

[boss hog]

His goal record may be deceiving but he can't get a game for Bournemouth and one of our rivals this season are willing to let him come to us.

 

[Akinbiyi]

3 in 58... Jesus. Uninspiring to say the least in such an attacking team. But a lot of those have been sub appearances

Won't be anything near 10mil, can't be.

But if his drop in price compared to Maupay means we can sign McBurnie alongside him I'm all for it. Got to have had something in him for Bournemouth to pay 7mil for him in the first place and for Chris and Paul Mitchell to want him

 

[SteveBlade]

 

[Macfarlane21]

If we sign Mcburnie too then I'm happy with this. 10 million is steep though. 6-8 million would seem more realistic with the hyperinflation of this years transfers

 

[mattbianco1]

Here is his only PL goal last season... Unbelievable strike !!

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Love how a lot of posters have suddenly discovered they are a Lys Mousset expert.

 

[Ricky]

Got to remember that £10m is still a huge fee for us and Wilder to spend and he wouldn't spend it if he wasn't highly confident in the player.

Not that I think it'll be a straight £10m.

They paid about £5.5m for him and after his time there making such a profit seems unreasonable.

Maybe it's £6m rising to something near £10m.

 

[Rodley]

We’re going to sign players with a point to prove, or players unproven at PL level. And we won’t wait around to get mugged off by players, you’re in or you’re out. This is the CWAK way.

We had the same shit about Fleck, O’Connoll, Egan, Norwood, etc. And the same crap from fans we signed them from.

 

[Macfarlane21]

Here is his only PL goal last season... Unbelievable strike !!

Wonder goal

 

[Antonb]

I think he was in and out of the team , and mostly just coming off the bench. So maybe the stats don't really show the truth,

 

[Scarebus]

I would guess, most of the naysayers having not even seen him play once

Has anyone?

 

[Rodley]

Has anyone?

Yep, Wilder, Knill and Mitchell

 

[Slacky1889]

I’m sorry if we pay £10m for him, Howe has had wilder’s pants down. I expect £3m at the absolute max!

 

[cooperblade]

Love how a lot of posters have suddenly discovered they are a Lys Mousset expert.

Don't knock it, it's very handy for building up the 'ignore' list - especially when you combine it with a pre-season defeat to Burton.

 

[Blade for Sale]

And despite what he's achieved, plenty on here are doubting CW's judgement, even though, I would guess, most of the naysayers having not even seen him play once

I'm not sure that's fair, people are entitled to scrutinise what would be our record signing, and Daz has provided a very strong counter-argument to his apparently poor scoring record. It's the job of a fanbase to support but also to push, cajole and apply positive pressure. It's part of how a club progresses and I'm sure Wilder wouldn't have it any other way. Sycophancy is the preserve of our be-trottered friends to the North.

 

[SufcBilly]

6" more of a mcburnie type than Maupay who is 5"7?

 

[Sheffsteel]

It seems he’s a Joao type, someone with big potential that can’t seem to perform with any consistency. At least he’s young with something to prove.

Here are comments about him from 2 Bournmouth fans.

A talented lad, but a bit of a headless chicken and frustrating. I'd be hesitant to sell him outright, because there's definitely a player in there who could burst out any time. It would be typical for us to buy him and spend 3 years getting only glimpses of a real player, only to sell him and see him suddenly come good elsewhere

Such a weird player. Started making a real difference in 17/18 but he was utterly useless last year.
I may be wrong but I just don't think he has the right attitude, never looked up for the fight last season.

 

[Rodley]

Don't knock it, it's very handy for building up the 'ignore' list - especially when you combine it with a pre-season defeat to Burton.

But you miss baiting the closet pigs, so double edged sword pal.

 

[FriethBlade]

South I havent seen him play once...but it sticks in the throat a bit that Bournemouth paid us 11m for the best player Ive seen in a Blades shirt since Tony Currie and we might be paying 1m less for someone I've never heard of.However in Wilder we trust as he hasnt made many errors in the market.

 

[Bladezz]

So the person who’s ITK again on here has failed to mention this?

Can we all now agree he’s just very quick at reading Twitter and putting it on here
