We could also do a lot worse than getting his son Jordan in, who’s currently playing in Russia and is out scoring his xg. He’s also available for 15m and has been linked with Celtic.

They just make stuff up. A stopped clock tells the right time twice a day. January: Romero will join us if Ryan goes.
This is the market we’re in. We’re not going to get a Giroud or Tammy Abraham.
Punts from lesser leagues. Lower epl. Players who’s stock is low. Unknown young gems who can’t get game time.
I think if £15m is true it’s a punt worth taking with huge upside if he ends up performing in the PL.

Good find - sure they’ve got some things right first off before though. Also diff journo that one. Give me some hope - I love this guy and think he’s just what we need!

Indeed. The step up from non-league football to the prem is eversoard.

Seems a bit far fetched to me. Not that Arsenal are any cop, but they'll offer more money than we do. Leicester are in Europe, albeit the crap trophy, will offer more money AND he's worked under Rodgers before.
I can totally understand us being interested. I'm not convinced he'll be interested in us, however.

A confusing thread, comments of he’s not good enough for the PL then in the next sentence he would choose either Leicester or Arsenal over us as they do think he’s good enough 
Very odd.

Not unusual with SPL players. You just dont know until you try them elsewhere. 20 years ago English papers were writing that Henrik Larsson couldnt cut in the PL... difference is he had scored 53 goals that season. On the other hand, others were convinced that Gary Hooper would one day turn into a player for the English national team. Didnt quite materialise.

£15-20m is similar money we would have to pay for a player with similar stats playing in the championship . Playing for Celtic is probably a slightly higher level than playing in the championship especially with his European games experience as well.
At this price I think it’s a gamble worth taking .

Agree
If we are knocking around this price range then it’s always going to be a bit of a punt . Banging them in British football and like you say Europe combined with impressive u21 french stats make it a punt that’s worth it .
Certainly the age we would go for .
This seems Better than a Dutch , Swiss , sweedish 20m punt
Problem looks to be that as it is slightly less of a punt then you are competing against other prem sides . Which means we are unlikely to be as attractive or pay as much unfortunately .

In our favour is the likelihood of regular starts in the PL, which is an unlikely prospect were he to sign for Arsenal or Leicester.

Arsenal allegedly need to sell a forward before they buy. Playing previously for Rodgers may mean he knows him too well to sign him. Think Potter and McBurnie. This could still have legs for Albion.

Maybe not as far fetched as you think. The Albion are now perceived as a club “on the up” in many circles. This was definitely not the case in the recent past when we were considered relegation fodder. Maybe, just maybe, footballers are not the greedy b*****ds that we think they are and will go for recognition and glory with a smaller club rather than a big club’s big bucks and the subs bench. Wishful thinking I know, but here’s hoping.
Ian Nacho has been one of the EPL’s top strikers this year. Lots of bench warming for Oddy if he chooses to follow Rodgers.
He’d surely start for us alongside Welbeck & Tross if we swoop for him.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. If I was a striker wanting to make an impression in the Premier League, Brighton would be a club that would interest me. It's obvious in the game that we make a lot of chances, so it's a real opportunity to score goals in the Premier League

Remember who his previous manager at Celtic was? Be nice if you are right but it'll take a lot of persuasion he would be 1st choice here mind..

My thoughts? Arsenal and Leicester are interested. Next
This
Will probably rely on Gyokeres, as he absolutely tore the Championship to pieces this season, or did I dream that?

Celtic already have a good song for him, worth stealing I if he comes here.
