Hugo Ekitike

Reports this evening are that it's a done deal . 30 Million Euros plus 5 Million in add on fees.

Obligatory everyone's amazing on YouTube vid below :

I thought he was a striker?

I'll wait until he signs before getting carried away. I'm pleased that we aren't going for too many older players and building for the future with a mixture of talented young players. The bar has been raised at last.

Winger come striker i think, not to compare them but the Henry position..suppose he ended up a striker like.

 

[keggy_keagal]

He's only got 12 goals in his career like.

I'm excited we are reportedly making signings five days before the window opens rather than five minutes before it closes.

 

[Mcnamee67]

Well I hope the powers that be have done their homework and his 12 goals are a sign of things to come

Aye many comments on YT suggesting the same, typically a lot also stating he lacks real pace.

I'm not getting that buzz from watching those Ekitike clips to be honest Mc.

The powers that be have my respect based on what they have done so far though so from that point of view I'm going to trust that they have done their homework.

The kids been well sought after so if we do sign him then it's a coup I suppose. Reminds me of when we signed Hugo Viana and most of Europe seemed to want him.

Hopefully, if done, it's a different script this time.

Ekitike is spelt (spelled?) the same backwards, who was the last NUFC player that had the same?

Don't google it or owt.

 

[Finn_the_Dog]

Well I constantly had nagging doubts whether he actually wanted to come. Positive if recent reports are true.

One for the future. Still think we need a proven goal scorer. Last thing we need is to burden this kid with expectation. He needs introduced gradually similar to Bruno.

Poorest "best of" videos I have ever seen tbh. They normally make average players look like Messi.

It seems a bit surreal discussing the talents of a player who is touted as potentially to be one of the best goalscoring forwards in the future and if he is what we need.

Yep

 

[Mcnamee67]

Got an FA cup winners medal in 1955, scored the 3rd goal

If the rumours are true this kid can't make his fucking mind up. He wants to come one minute and doesn't the next, personally I'd fuck him off and go for someone else.

Any young footballers who think they will find a better club, with better supporters and a better project than ours are entitled to their thick as pig shit opinion.

If the rumours are true of course
