He has a lot of good attributes but isn’t proven at this levelSeen a lot of talk of Giminez recently, mixed reports. Is he any good?
Another striker in that league looks better - Troy Parrott i think he's called. Might be worth a punt if we could get him for a decent fee?Seen a lot of talk of Giminez recently, mixed reports. Is he any good?
There's a lot of duds out there at the moment - David, Giminez, the Coventry guy. There's a real dearth of talent at CF. Isak and Osimhen are the only proper elite options out there. If we arent getting one of them, we need to go the Udogie/Vicario route (someone like Leonardo at Benfica)Gutter Boy has given his seal of disapproval so I'm all in. Seems like a sensible signing in a market with not too many star strikers within reach.
That part I agree with. But David for £20-30m makes sense to me. From what I know of him (which admittedly is very limited) it sounds like he'd suit Ange's style.There's a lot of duds out there at the moment - David, Giminez, the Coventry guy.

If by 'the Coventry guy' you mean Gyokeres? then I think you are seriously underrating him. As well as having lots of talent he is also an absolute nuisance for the opposition defence, never gives them a moments piece.There's a lot of duds out there at the moment - David, Giminez, the Coventry guy.

He is probably not one for us now as he will likely be too expensive but I think we missed the boat on him that summer that he left Coventry when it was abundantly clear from his performances in the Championship that he was really rather good.

Everyone always says that, the answer is better scouting. How do RB Leipzig seem to constantly sign top players - they got Openda and Sesko last summer for example. Portugese clubs seem to scout pretty well too.
Where did sesko come from? It might give you a clue.
Their whole club network seems to have great scouting, they consistently sign top young players year after year.
YepAgree. But it's easier if you have 4 clubs signing young players than 1. Also a good way to attract good young players. They know they'll get game time and have a path for progression.
Yep
It’s their model of operating too
Everyone is sellable
And the clubs all feed RBL
It's not just the scouting it's the confidence in that scouting in the first place. Your scouts can identify players (ours have many over the years) you need the boldness to actually back your estimations and invest in those players early. Too often we have held back from that step, waiting rather for the player to confirm their quality by which point they've often become unobtainable.Everyone always says that, the answer is better scouting.
