Because he's worth 2x that amount? They've already rejected 16m for him from Southampton.

Ah but we could have still offered !!! They may not want to sell to a rival 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Championship is a higher standard by a long way. Fair enough there is a couple of  good teams in Holland but in general the league is *** and championship much higher quality and difficulty level

and championship usually have a couple of good teams that shouldn't be there with their with the squads they have after the window closed

Can’t lie I’m seeing some absolute hilarious takes on Twitter comparing Riis to Strand Larsen. Seeing people slate Riis about his 4 goals against us basically saying they don’t count because we were crap 😂 Then going onto say spend more on a complete unknown who scored less goals in a league with significantly worse defending in. 

I’m not saying one is better then the other as frankly I, like 95% of boro fans have only watched a 5minute clip of Strand Larsen on YouTube. It just makes me laugh how much fans get excited about a foreign player they only heard of a week ago.

I prefer Larsen's 4 minute YouTube video and he's massive so my research is done tbh 🤷‍♂️

Strand Larsen scored 14 in 32.

Riis scored 16 in 44.

The quality of the league and opposition is a valid criticism, but I don't think there's any issue with comparing the goal record, Strand Larsen's is better.

They just play fewer games in the Netherlands.

The question is whether he'd get the same return against English opposition.

I think both are gambles especially at the prices quoted. 

The gamble with JSL is that he plays in a dutch league against people like Go Ahead Eagles, so it might not translate. Plus we've been stung before buying strikers from this league. 

The gamble with ERJ is that he has only done it for one year in the championship and he may never flash in the same way and we've been stung before bringing in strikers who have done well at PNE. 

 

From what my PNE mates say about ERJ, he is very raw and can look equally as bad as he can good at times. Hard to know what we would be getting. Also said he needs to play in a 2 which isnt a problem for us.

I think there’s probably a few variables, such as the selling club’s perception of each player. Groningen are fighting tooth and nail to keep Larsen and their fans are disappointed to lose him, as opposed to Riis where the manager doesn’t seem to fancy him despite his contributions last season and they’re seemingly more open to a sale.

It is just a matter of opinion, some would say better the devil you know, others like the excitement of the unknown. Larsen could come in and hit the ground running like Piroe last season, or he could be our next Payero.
