The January 2024 "Will we actually sign a striker or just Che Adams/Kieffer Moore" Transfer Thread

[Alan]

Luigi looks rapid and quite tricky. No idea if he's any good though.

If I can't call Mario "Lemons" then surely "Luigi" is off the table for his brother

(I'm in favor of both nicknames, all nicknames. Except "-azza")

PSG wanted to use him as makeweight in a deal for Muani (?) but having signed a $3m-a-year deal he wasn't keen on the move so they've effectively frozen him out.

(Rumours he was flaunting those $$$ less than subtly around the academy also)

There was some young lad we were linked to who was meant to be very good but had a charge of assaulting his gf or something to that affect I thought. Can’t for the life of me remember who now but thought that might’ve been him. Maybe not

This guy I think.

As Lens paid €35m for him then it was never happening anyway.

I notice we got linked with Mohamed Amoura, an Algerian forward/winger. Scored lots of goals for Union St Gilloise and in Europe League. He looks pretty good, better then LeminaLite any way.

Main issue is Tony Bloom is a major shareholder at Union SG, and Brighton have been linked with him too.

He's already played for 2 clubs this season

He (Wahi) is scoring at a third of the rate he managed last season, looks like it was a bit of a fluke. Stats suggested he was a bit of a lump (and he massively outperformed his xG last season) and it's proving, seems like.

Probably wouldn't move until the summer any way.

Could buy and loan back, maybe.

 

[Lycan]

Mini Lemina is one of the hottest prospects in Europe. If we've tied down him and Rodrigo Gomes for next summer that's 2 very exciting young players added to the ranks.

That’s him! I was googling and everything. Can get back to my life now. Appreciated

Confirmed by Fab now. Looks like it’s happening!

Any insight into him? As much as I love Mario to bits, I hope it’s not a favour.

How’s he been doing for Sampdoria?

Not been playing much, apparently.

@jd1981 is our resident Sampdoria guy, he may have a better idea.

 

[Jinky]

Obligatory YouTube link. Looks exciting, but barely any senior experience on his CV.

 

[AndyWolves]

Feels very similar to when we signed Neto. Highly rated but pretty much no experience.

Barely played if anything probably only one appearance so far, doesn’t even make match day squad. Samp have been basket case for a while so might have something to do with it.

It might be a favour to Mario, considering both men have just lost their father.

Both men get the support they need and Noha is only 18 so may need all the support he can get.

This is my optimistic (sorry) thought, too.

Probably not a good spot for a teenage winger.

Maybe we’re signing Noah as a response to the recent weather?
