nat_canaries 0 Posted December 17, 2015 Just had a look at his ''attributes'' on sofifa as a rough guide and doesn''t seem a typical Alex Neil striker at all. A small, quick player who like to dribble and take long shots. Looks somewhat similar to alexi Sanchez in style of play (so may have to fill in the camera holes) and can play upfront, behind a main striker or on the left. Would be a good signing if we could pull it off, giving us a few options across the front 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grefstad 0 Posted December 17, 2015 I don''t think there is much in this link.A "normal" purchase for a team looking to play 4-2-3-1 is a rather big, and fairly mobile striker. Eder is mobile, but not big.29yrs old, should be in his very prime though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Budapest Canary 151 Posted December 17, 2015 Eder is one of the realistic names from the Top 30 of the current Golden Shoe list, alongside with Lucas (Deportivo), Imanol Agirretxe (Real Sociedad) and perhaps Nemanja Nikolic (Legia Warsaw). http://www.eurotopfoot.com/gb/soulierdor.php3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,070 Posted December 17, 2015 if you think of strikers it this league you don''t have to be tall to play up front alone if you are strong can hold the ball up height is not a factor unless you play a long ball but a pacey strike can pick up the second ball anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iwans Big Toe 309 Posted December 17, 2015 I understand our second offer of £100 of Waterstones vouchers and a lifetimes supply of Palm Olive has also been rejected. DM is going to consult with the transfer guru''s of the club before deciding whether to put in a third, improved offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted December 18, 2015 Aguero is the best example but then he works his socks off, has the energy to do so and is a class apart from virtually any striker in the world when fit.Further down our end, you need more substance about your big man up top as the ball doesn''t find it''s way to him as often. Swansea go with a physical threat of Gomis, Bournemouth use Wilson or Murray, both physically imposing, Watford have 2 so are different set up, there''s only really Newcastle who play a technical player as the lone striker and then De Jong and Sissoko etc often make up for Ayoze or Mitrovic''s lack of physicality. Sunderland use Defoe but again have Toivonen or Flether up there as well and less said about Villa the better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redders Right Foot 22 Posted December 18, 2015 well according to the front page it was what, 6.5 or 7.5m... they want 11, which I would be much more happier paying 11 for Eder than 13 or whatever it is for afobe.problem is convincing him to come here. If we can beat united/spurs it may turn a few players heads and show them we are still very much in the race to stay, all we need is some extra firepower and some defensive assurance.

Indy 3,232 Posted December 18, 2015 I would hope that 11 million for a player past their prime would be tripe!Anything more than 5 million and is hope the club would walk away.Pretty sure for 11 million Austin would be available, wouldn''t he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,351 Posted December 19, 2015 It wouldn''t take more than a casual knowledge about Norwich City to recognise some glaring inaccuracies. Such things make the rumour tripe to me. Others may still believe it. That''s their call... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]So I take it that if someone who has intimate knowledge of the day to day working of the club chose to share that information, it would automatically be "tripe" should it not fit in the little glass bubble of opinion belonging to someone who has nothing more than a casual knowledge of the club? Wanting something to be true because it doesn''t fit with your world view, doesn''t automatically make it true. Sorry to break it to you Nigel. Also just because someone buys a few rounds at a social event and has a nice chat with people making them feel important, doesn''t mean that they are an honest and upfront person. What happens in private is often very different to what people share in public.I''m done bashing my head up against a brick wall, I''ll let you have the last word. I''m off to bed.

STAN 29 Posted December 19, 2015 People getting excited over a fancy foreign name and an "international" brand.. he made his international debut in March of this year at the grand old age of 28 for huck sake!To add Sampdoria sit just above the Serie A relegation zone, it''s not as if were trying to pinch somebody from Inter Milan! 11 million for an average 29 year old striker who doesn''t want to play for Norwich, no thanks.
