[Football] Raphael Dwamena RIP

[Scotchegg]

****, you lot are depressing.

Fourteen goals in eighteen games for FC Zurich since he joined them in January. Perhaps you needed a larger sample for your survey?

12 in the Swiss second division which I would imagine is probably slightly below league 2 standard.

I'm pretty sure TB has done nothing of the sort - mainly because it is his money and panicking with it really doesn't seem like his style.

Rumours have been going around about this one for a while, so not a panic buy based on the last week or so at all. Homework will have been done, and the people who matter when it comes to these decisions will be happy that it is the right move.

Well lets hope so but £13m on a 21 year old playing in the Swiss League seems like a big gamble to me even if we've been scouting him for years.

 

[Bakero]

We've just signed a goal-machine wonder kid. It might not work out or he might be a revelation. A waste of money or a bargain. I'm going to err on the side of excitement though.

Unless he doesn't score on his debut. Then I'll be consigning him to the dustbin of history.

What's it like to be devoid of hope?

I am so disappointed in Tony.
With all the millions coming in from the PL why hasn't he bid for a proper striker like Costa, Sanchez or even Kane?

Really
I am just so sick and tired of all the negativity from so many people on here who seem to forget the way TB has built the club up to where it is now.Suddenly it seems they want us to get the Harry Redknapp philosophy of recruitment.

 

[Nixonator]

TB has obviously pushed the panic button, very concerned that we are wasting a large chunk of money here.

Obvious based on what exactly?

The fact we have been tracking him a while, expressed interest and submitted a rejected bid prior to this would suggest it's not very obvious to me.

 

[Wellesley]

I think some posters would be underwhelmed if we signed Messi and Ronaldo on the same day.

Naylor just tweeted this isn't happening.

 

[Frutos]

Well lets hope so but £13m on a 21 year old playing in the Swiss League seems like a big gamble to me even if we've been scouting him for years.

If TB, who is pretty decent at such things, is willing to take the gamble then that'll do me - he and the recruitment team will know far more about this guy than any of us on here do.

 

[Albumen]

Zohore would have been that young exciting striker!

This one ain't. I won't labour the point any more. Feel sorry for the guy though

Party on, Dwayne!

 

[British Bulldog]

He should be with us tomorrow for medical and sign with a bit of luck everything will be complete by end of week also maybe the other player we are working on will be with us to.

I'm starting to like your posts keep it up.

Naylor knows nothing.

 

[Frutos]

Naylor knows nothing.

To judge from this tweet, Naylor thinks he is called Ralph.

Apologies if I've missed it, but has £13m been confirmed.

Blo0dy Naylor, and his poo-pooing tweets. I was certain Ronaldo and Messi wanted to see out their careers at the Albion, purely on the basis that I support them.

[Seasidesage]

Lets be honest no one has a clue except the blokes paid to find players for us. The ones who watch hundreds and hundreds of players all around the world...

Will he be any good, who knows, but writing him off before he's even played a game, pathetic.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Hope this fella has a bit more impact then the 4 other new signing!

 

[fosters headband]

Seriously?! Let's hope our recruitment team recognised something very special, because this seems like a big gamble.

Only in the Dobbie, Hola, Gardner, Colunga McCourt and Manu recognition in the last two weeks of the window kind of gamble.

 

[Icy Gull]

If he has pace that is a massive upgrade on the current two fit forwards who have looked dire In the first two games. Is a he another Manu, has to be a possibility but I am hoping we have learnt from that cock up. He's much more expensive too. Quite excited but I know absolutely feck all about him

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Hope this fella has a bit more impact then the 4 other new signing!

wait until he's seen his first wage packet
