I've figured out who he reminds me of.....Dirk Kuyt Powerful, ex-CF, played wide, worked his socks off, not the quickest but could tackle, used his body and footwork well and scored a few goals. His goal rate at Liverpool was pretty similar to Boye's at AEK also. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Jacob Murphy maybe Newcastle gouged West Brom's bank with a close to 7 figure loan fee in January I really doubt we go down the Murphy/Grosicki 40k a week path again.

Really do love the way how Woody speaks, can tell he has that passion and desire to really do well for the team he supports. Think Keane speaks really well aswell, can tell he’s competitive haha Excellent piece, fair play BS, an enjoyable watch 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,191 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Did Murphy even do anything at wba? I watched a bit of Diangana idk he might be a bit ‘too’ raw, struggling to think of who we could go for on the right. Unless Boye is the one we’ve picked. Link to post Share on other sites

He came in to offer the width that Harvey Barnes had provided, before returning to Leicester. They fell away badly because Murphy is quick, but doesn't have anywhere near the ability or maturity of Barnes Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Boye has positives he's near the end of a 4 year contract on a 1 million transfer so his wages are probably really low, the original price I saw Torino want was 3 million euros that was maybe a week or so ago maybe we negotiate them down to 2.5 million euros? Not sure how good he is/isn't looking through his history seems he struggled for Torino for a season and a half joined Celta Vigo for 5 months who had an option to buy set at 12 million euros then to Athens and here we are now.

Boye that is Link to post Share on other sites

Dan1234 1,056 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I was reading about Murphy at West Brom when we were linked a while back. He was poo initially, had a couple of great games and had people more positive then went back to poo. I don't think he meets the current criteria of what we are after. Surprised to here so many dislike the idea of Lowe. He's just turned 25, has pace, plays in the exact position we need and was one of the most productive players in L1. It's 2.5 million not 15 million. I know we are being stringent but 2.5m is chicken feed even to half the championship. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm withholding too much disappointment on the basis the club think they are able to get someone over the line for the same position that they feel are better. Fingers crossed.

Not overly upset as there are other options out there for us. And you say £2.5 Million isn't much in the grand scheme of things. We sold Flint for almost double that!

BillinghamBoro 229 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Unsure about Lowe, part of me thinks he could be an unearthed diamond, but then the other part can't overlook the fact that few championship club's have gone after his signature. Seems like someone who could have filled gaps on the wings mind you Link to post Share on other sites

LinoJo3 3,191 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 How would lowe be an unearthed diamond? If he was that great he’d have been taken long before now, not even Brentford went for him. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I do wonder how serious we ever were about Lowe. Yes there's been a link there all summer, but I think it's been fairly obvious that it's always been "Wigan and a few other clubs including Middlesbrough", rather than us ever being leading the pack.
