CONFIRMED Lys Mousset

[bromtom]

Ok, so should we be really paying £10 million for a lad who has technically played 13 games?

We're probably going to pay the best part £20m for another striker who's played 0 games.

 

[The Crab]

I trust Wilder, hopefully this will work out, I'm no expert after all.

But if I'm honest, I feel like I've just opened my 3rd box of socks present on Christmas Day. Erm...............thanks

 

[Jesus_was_a_Blade]

Yeah fair enough. Just seems like a way better deal for AFCB than us, which is not what usually happens when wilder does his business.

Don't disagree with that.

As someone else said on here, Bournemouth have sold Mings & Mousett for £35m, for 2 players that rarely started, making maybe £20m in profit.

Seems mad that Prem teams can buy a player, that player go on to do very little, then make millions in profit from them. It's no wonder other leagues & teams can't compete

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

I've found his promo video

 

[Maidenhead]

I'm happy with the signing, we need some younger more athletic players. He fits into that mould. He's clearly a talent, even the Bournemouth fans say so. Let's watch him play before we judge

Bit bloody radical, waiting to see him play before he's judged.

No room in here for sensible comments, it's a football forum ffs!

for Bournemouth, played plenty before, just couldn't dislodge Wilson, not many strikers would to be fair, 10m may prove too much, or may be a steal

who knows, only time will tell, but the management team are obviously happy, so, so am i, they don't get a lot wrong do they, and i think this will be aswell as McBurnie, seems we have a much larger budget than thought

Let's face it, Mousset could turn out to be anything - from another Drogba to another John Cofie. However, CW at the very least deserves our trust.

He is certainly taking a high risk strategy with regards to his recruitment - Morrison, Mousset (+ Champ strikers) etc. but I suppose with transfer fees as they are, he doesn't have much choice. Fingers crossed they work out - if they do he hit the jackpot both with their impact on the team and its results and their future value.

I really don't think we are if this goes through.

 

[I should coco]

so it doesn't matter Bob le blanc or Franck Crackingtackle had scored 100s or kept clean sheets for fun

ITK alert!

Bob le Blanc spotted in the car park today and Franck Crackingtackle was seen looking in Blundell's window at the new flats on the Manor.

 

[bromtom]

I really don't think we are if this goes through.

I was on about McBurnie, not Maupay. We've had a £15m bid rejected but I think we'll go back.

He played one season which he played 28 games so i'd hardly call it plenty.

Will have to trust CWAK on this one.

 

[LANOIS]

McBurnie, not Maupay. We've had a £15m bid rejected but I think we'll go back.

I know who you meant, I just can't see us going back in for him if we sign Mousset, both similar players and can't see them playing together. I think it's one or the other.

 

[dazzlingblade]

similar to Brooks then

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Fee rising to £9.5m according to the trust Sky sources.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Sky reporting it's been accepted. Could rise to 9.5 million. So I suppose it would be 4/5 up front, which in the grand scheme of things isn't that bad of a deal. Social media Blades kicking off already without thinking logically.

 

[FriethBlade]

I've got an idea...let's stop debating the merits of any player we are linked with and just say 'yep fucking brilliant, gonna be the best player weve ever.signed and we've got him for an absolute bargain price' then the forum will be a much nicer place

Everyone on here trusts Wilder but it doesn't mean everyone has to have the same opinion and if those opinions are negative you're automatically a pig or you've got an agenda ffs.

For the record our signings and my rating
Robinson excellent top champ player
Freeman excellent top champ player
Jags excellent low cost, low risk
Morrison excellent low cost high potential

Possibles

McBurnie top of.my.list
Maupay second on my.list
Assombalonga third.on my list
Moussett wasnt on any list but in Wilder we trust

Just leave it at "without thinking"

 

[GrayBlade]

IF Wilder thinks that we should yes. He and his team are the real experts in the matter not us, and I’d have thought that he’s done enough with both individual player and the team overall in the last 3 seasons to warrant a fairly high degree of trust in his decisions.

 

[bromtom]

I know who you meant, I just can't see us going back in for him if we sign Mousset, both similar players and can't see them playing together. I think it's one or the other.

Cadette seems to think we're going back in after him, so I guess we'll see.

Think if it's £4/5m rising to £10m if targets are met it's not a bad deal and probably won't factor in to our main chases.

"could rise to 9.5mill" sounds a lot better. Presumably this is if he makes loads of appearances and scores 10+ goals and we stay up. In which case the fee would have been fine.

Must admit on the face of it this is slightly underwhelming but Wilder has pulled so many rabbits out of hats, be it free transfers or shelling out decent money, its getting really difficult to think anything other than "he must be decent if Wilder is after him".

Off the top of my head McGoldrick, Madine, Egan, Jake Wright, Crainie, Clarke etc all came in with question marks over them and all proved astute signings.

He could pair Fred & Rose West up front for us and I'd expect them to do a job .

I fully agree with the debates, that’s what forums are all about. However anybody who writes off a player before he’s been given a chance to prove himself at a club is a fool and that’s just as bad as clapping every newcomer in as ‘fucking brilliant’. It’s the individual certainty of their own views that makes me laugh even though time and again they could be proved wrong. As somebody had already said, nobody really knows how players will perform in OUR setup, some will flourish and others could disappoint time will tell.

 

[Champagneblade]

8m for Kenneth Zohore who just notched 1 in 19 Premiership appearances and wouldn't have been shunted to the wing makes me feel better about a fee rising to 9.5m for Mousset!

Don't think Fred is much of a goer TBH?

 

[LANOIS]

Brooks was considerably younger had an outstanding season so you can't really compare the two.

Either way, I trust CWAK

 

[BlairBlade]

As we are about to sign Mousset let's hope we now go and get the Senegalese (French speaking) midfielder (in the style of Montgomery) from Bordeaux.
Fingers crossed!

One thing's for sure... We're gonna be fucking epic if we go back to the Championship!

Massive gamble by the looks of it.
