Mike Oxlong Posted 31 July 2018 Posted 31 July 2018 According to this Barcelona want to sell him for £27m https://amp.sportsmole.co.uk/football/barcelona/transfer-talk/news/barcelona-to-demand-27m-for-alcacer_331926.html Not a bad price but doubt they’d take Slim and give us £2m to balance things up 1

La-li-lu-le-lo Posted 31 July 2018 Posted 31 July 2018 Few reports from Spain that we’ve made an offer? Either that or it’s been lost in translation.....

On what planet can we have someone like Iheanacho as 3rd choice and Alcacer as 2nd choice in a team that plays only 1 up top? 3

Have no idea if im honest mate!i would have thought wingers would be more important 3
lcfcsnow Posted 31 July 2018 Posted 31 July 2018 If we sign him he'll end up playing as a number 10 just like Ulloa and Slimani who had never played that role in their life. Guaranteed to be the next Sandro Ramirez.
ARM1968 Posted 1 August 2018 Posted 1 August 2018 Hopefully he’s a Slim AND Ulloa replacement. Get Musa off the books too and happy days. Three quality forwards is a luxury, but a good problem to have. 1

SheppyFox Posted 1 August 2018 Posted 1 August 2018 Surprised how many people are putting this guy in immediately ahead of Nacho. For me, Nachoman came alive at the end of the season and should be an important player for us now. 2

happy85 Posted 5 August 2018 Posted 5 August 2018 Barcelona wanted 3m loan fee plus wages. Main reason cooled interest in the forward. That could change. alan Nixon

lcfcrinaldi Posted 5 August 2018 Posted 5 August 2018 To be honest, after Nacho's performances in pre-season, I think he may rightfully feel very hard done to, if they bring in another striker to knock him down to 3rd in the pecking order. I would like Alcacer if we played a different system, but as we seem to be playing with just the 1 striker, it doesn't seem to be feasible to have 3 strikers on huge contracts, with 2 of them sitting on the bench, or even 1 sat at home! I would probably say, sell on Slim and keep Ulloa for 3rd choice. It seems he would be happier in accepting his place. We need to focus our efforts on getting in a great winger rather than a good striker.

Throws a big chunk of your argument out of the window. Essentially, we need options with versatile players that are apt playing in different positions, such as Thorgan Hazard, who can play on the left, in the center or on the right if need be. Personally, I can't see anything in this rumour. Probably just made up in order to fill the gossip columns.

Throws a big chunk of your argument out the window. If we aren't singing players to actually play in their primary positions, but take over people that do play there. Then probably should just be looking for right wingers. In my opinion, but of course my opinion means nothing when you are bringing these cold, hard facts to the forum.
