If Embolo settled well in England, got up to speed with the Prem in a few years he might be capable of scoring 19 goals in the Prem. Austin already has and would cost less than half the price.Embolo is, clearly, a major talent who could come in and score hundreds of goals for us. He'd also cost a lot of money and wants to go to the euros so will want to start. Austin has a proven record of scoring in england, would be cheap and would be happy playing second fiddle.
If the question is which one is the better prospect, Embolo wins, easily. If it is who is less of a risk, Austin wins. If it is who is the better player, right now, for the last 6 months of the season, you CANNOT say, 100%, it is Embolo. Given the price differential, I'd go for Austin.
Am sure you'll say "if you'd honestly rather Austin, I give up, you know nothing about football etc." but real football isn't on a computer screen. There are 100s of variables to take into account, short, medium and long term goals. For me, as I said about Vardy in the summer and had the same comments, Austin is a no risk punt who *could* work out spectacularly well.
Just my onions. Innit
No, thank you.Linked again, discuss.
And ones saying Berahino was DEFINATELY happeningI'm sure there was significant itk in the summer saying this definitely wasn't happening.
only concern for me would be his lack of pace, otherwise he fits the bill and works bloody hard.I dont get this from Spurs, absolute no brainer from my viewpoint and fits what we need. Proven goal scorer, can hit ground running from january if Kane gets injured can be effective cover, cheap low wages, can play alome up front, what is the catch?
Why not nab him and one for the future? Does he want to be a first choice and play every week? That is the only reason I can think.
He is no world star or elite talent, but if Kane gets injured we need someone who can come in, replace him and bang in some goals.
That's some quotes from Ian Wright on a radio show, hardly a reputable media link.
sorry i've let you downThat's some quotes from Ian Wright on a radio show, hardly a reputable media link.
He's already said he'd rather have no one than someone he doesn't feel fits in with his plans/philosophy.A while ago I read an article about Poch which said he turned down the chanceto sign Austin on the final day when the Berahino deal fell through. I wonder if seeing the state of Kane in the last 15 mins on Sunday has changed his mind? He may not b a great player, but he's surely better than literally no back up at all.
