The only way BB would be playing here next season is if he moves to the likes of Chelsea or Bayern and he gets loaned here for game time as part of a deal.
We do know that the window has slammed shut, don't we? This season is the priority not next. The recruitment staff can work on next season in the background. What are we going to do this season? I think the coaching staff had better come up with something pretty soon. Maybe get a hypnotist in and get them feeling confident that they will score. Anythings worth a try...
We need to sign a striker who outcores his own xG, and the one in Europe that stands out a mile is Patson Daka at RB Salzburg. He’s filled the gap left by Erling Haaland’s departure and has done so in style. Last season he scored 32 goals from an xG of 21.82.
Perfectly 2 footed, can play anywhere across a front 3 and he plays like another former RB Salzburg graduate, Sadio Mane. He’s only 22, would fall within our price bracket and is destined to be a star.
This graph shows his shot conversion rate from last season, compared to some of the best in Europe.
