Player Suggestion Joe Gelhardt

[Withington Blade]

There is something slightly unsavoury about taking advantage of Wigan’s misfortune by picking off their best players. However, other teams seem happy to do it and given the reduced budget we are working with I am not sure we are in a position to be taking the moral high ground, if we want to progress it is surely worth a look at situations like this.

Joe Gelhardt is only 18 and is very highly rated, having played for England at youth level. Apparently Leeds are closing in at an initial fee of £1m, which seems incredible value given what Dortmund have just paid for Jude Bellingham, who is a similar age albeit possibly at a slightly more advanced stage of his career. Can’t profess to know much about the lad, but the potential upside of a signing like this is huge with very limited risk. I wonder if we were interested, surety worth a punt?

We should be trying to sign him as a priority, regardless of outgoings

Quality option across all the attacking positions

Be a good start on getting fans back on side that’s for sure

Apparently Burnley can’t get near his wages so no chance we can either.

Imagine how much we were paying Davies, Mee, Ings, Godfrey (Gus).
We've saved a LOT on wages this year

Which we needed to do. That saving isn’t available to splash on new signings.

Exactly the sort of player we needed to play alongside Bamford. Hard working, great touch, good finisher and no ego just a decent lad who looks like he loves playing football.

I’ve always been an admirer, ever since Leeds stole him from Wigan for £1 million at the same time we were spunking £20 odd million on Rhian Brewster.
