Bayern want Brobbey

[palm 1]

I admire the enthusiasm but he's scored 6 goals.

He scored 18 in 30 two seasons ago . He’s only 24 and improving every week . Put him in a side set up to create chances and he’d be well into double figures . Add his all round game to that equation and he is almost unique. We also have him on a long term contract so we don’t have to sell him unless we are offered stupid money .

He's worth a few million for the couple of goals against Arsenal and Newcastle

I hope we keep him . Other players on the team are far more replaceable.

In a foreign league.

He's had a relatively good season for us and will undoubtedly have increased his value, but £60-£70m is taking the piss.

Those transfer fees were hiked up due to Eddie and his nephew's incompetence. I mean the Newcastle tax as he likes to call it... loved the comment from the Bayern president about Mags being idiots to pay that fee for Saint Nick

That comment confuses me mate.

I mean - I look at his 6 yard box bullet heading ability for us? And then look at the transfer fee?

And I just think "that's money we'll spent!".

What's Rummenigge on about?!

People can’t seriously think Bayern are going to pay 70 million for a six goal a season striker when they publically laughed at Newcastle for spending that on one ffs.

They won't pay what we ask. They've started to cut back in wages/fees and wage bill needs lowering.

Tbh I can’t see them being remotely interested either like but we shall see

I think he will have interest but it won’t be off teams like bayern

I think the fact they won’t means he’s not going anywhere.

You set high valuations on players with a few years left on their deal, it’s standard premier league practice.

Look at Wolves getting over £50m for that Strand-Larsen.

 

[Wylie Coyote]

It's not all about goals but even if it was his goals v minutes played this season would equate to about 15 goals over a full season. Considering he was not fully fit when he signed, is relatively young, is his first season in England and is playing for a team that does not create an abundance of chances I think this is excellent. He is also quite a unique player and is excellent at holding up the ball and bringing others into play

Whether he can be fit and completing 90 mins for a whole season is questionable though

Saying all this though I do not think he is Bayern level. I do think other clubs will be looking at him but it won't be the top top clubs.

 

[Twisted]

I think he’ll be one of many attracting interest from big clubs this summer.
Massive compliment to our recruitment team

Diarra is probably the only player who hasn't doubled in value since coming here. 30 million down the drain

Oh and adingra

So how much do you think we would accept for him ?
If it’s less than 40m what would be the point ?

Every team in the world are looking for centre forwards and they are as rare as rocking horse shit at the minute .

I'd value him at circa £30-£35m.

Every team in the league won't be looking for centre forwards who score 6-8 goals a season in the PL.

Im not taking anything away for the lad and think he has been class, but some on here need to reset their expectations.

Solanke went for double that .

He will not be moving for 30m if you are correct then he will still be a Sunderland player next season . I’m happy with that .

I agree, and this isn't any slight on the player, but I'm not sure he possesses the specific attributes that a top-tier club would be looking for. A club that can dominate a midfield doesn't tend to need a holding centre forward, and I don't think he's clinical enough in front of goal to get the same returns in the Premier League as he did in the Eredivisie, even with more attacking options around him.

 

[mackinbristol]

A striker doesn't have to score loads of goals to make a big contribution to the team.

You get players making runs off him and he'll bring massive value to any team because he's so good at holding the ball up.

I didn't say that they need to?

That is however the prime objective of a striker, to score goals.

We'd also get more money for him by selling him to another Premier League team anyway

Nowadays the pool of clubs teams like us sell their best players too is smaller. Who, other than the biggest clubs, could afford to pay what we'd want for our best players? Or pay more in wages than we/others pay in the PL. Take Sadiki as an example, I think he is fantastic and has a a really good season but other than another PL higher up the chain that us where could he go? Not good enough for the biggest / best clubs outside of England (yet ) and the rest most likely can't pay the fee we'd want or the wages he can earn in the PL

Not always, it wasn't for Firmino as 1 example off the top of my head

Completely disagree. The prime objective of a striker is to increase the teams attacking threat, whether that's by scoring goals or enabling others to do so.

Let's say this summer we strengthen on the wings, and next season Brobbeys only scores half a dozen, but his hold up play helps a couple of our wingers get a dozen goals. Would you say that he'd been shit as a striker because he didn't score loads himself?

Totti, Firmino, Benzema (before he joined Real Madrid), Heskey, Giroud, just a few players off the top of my head who were highly rated, played at the highest levels, but were never prolific scorers. Were they all bad strikers because of it?

You're entirely missing my point and creating a ridiculous hypothetical scenario.

I dont think Brobbey is worth what some on here are claiming (£60-£70m). Do I think his value has improved? Yes. Do I think he adds a hell of a lot to our team and the way we play? Yes. Do I want to see him still playing for us next season? Yes.

It's incredibly simple to get your head around.
