Fake news

 

[ZenI]

And where are we supposed to get the cash? And what are we supposed to do with Lewa and our Brazilian superstar Roque?

 

[FC B]

I really do hope this rumor is fake, it would another disastrous transfer in the purest Barcelona style.

 

[gasgas]

he might actually do well for us. he has all the tools

 

[ZenI]

How much did Pool' pay for him, wasn't it in the 100ish millions? I mean we also bought players for 100+ millions and later sold them for 10ish millions But I don't think he will be that cheap...

 

[Catta]

Direct swap for Lewa, and they got a deal.

 

[Porque]

This is a guy we should have signed from Almeria for 16m and then sold 2 months later because of his poor technique.

 

[Andresito]

His goalscoring record in PL is atrocious. 22 goals in 75 games. Still after 2.5 seasons hasn't reached his tally in his last season for Benfica (26 goals in 28 games). Makes you wonder what would happen to Gyökeres' numbers if he moves.

 

[mc_lovin]

If a player looks like nothing despite scoring brilliantly in a lesser league its usually a sign he won't transtlate well. So stay the fuck away from Gyokeres.

It's a league where Bas Dost, Haris Seferovic and Jonas have scored 20-30+ league goals.

Obviously each case need to be judged accordingly, but I don't want Barca to be the club to find out of Gyokeres for 70-80m will break the mould of Liga NOS strikers who have overwhelmingly been super disappointing elsewhere.

Don’t forget Goncalo Ramos who put league on fire

For the sake of comparison of how top goalscorers in Portugal have done compared to how they do in top 5 leagues:

Jonas in Portugal - 132 games; 110 G+ 32 A.
Jonas in Spain + Italy - 233 games; 87 G + 37 A.

Haris Seferovic in Portugal - 120 games; 57 G + 19 A
Haris Seferovic in Germany + Spain - 128 games; 21 G + 16 A

Bas Dost in Portugal - 84 games; 76 G + 10 A
Bas Dost in Germany - 121 games; 48 G + 14 A

Mehdi Taremi in Portugal - 152 games; 82 G + 45 A
Mehdi Taremi in Italy - 14 games; 0 G + 1 A

Jackson Martinez in Portugal - 141 games; 77 G + 14 A
Jackson Martinez in Spain - 15 games; 2 G + 2 A


See a trend here?

The outlier to this are players like Falcao, but Falcao in his prime was one of the best strikers in the world. Will Gyokeres be an outlier too? Are you willing to pay the 75-80m to find out?

That's the question Barcelona or any top club that need a striker need to ask themselves.

 

[soul24rage]

Stay away from the Portuguese league for attackers.

Hugely overpriced compared to their talent.

 

[Temptation]

Thanks for the goals. Not good enough for us though. Unless he wants to be a supersub.

Watch him win Balon dOr after this post
