CB Fry Posted 20 January, 2018 Share Posted 20 January, 2018 We can dream can't we? Well worth his own thread. If we do sign him, it's a better signing than Walcott in my opinion.

S-Clarke Posted 20 January, 2018 Share Posted 20 January, 2018 I can't see how this can happen, he's quality. Exactly the sort of player we should have looked at to replace Mane first time round (as well as Sisto). Pacey, direct, got a bit of strength about him, tricky, goal record. Closest match to mane we could realstically attract. Let's see how this pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkSFC Posted 20 January, 2018 Share Posted 20 January, 2018 Possibly the only way to compare is performances in same things. For their country; Theo 47 apps 8 goals Quincy 23 apps 4 goals Europe Theo 72 apps 21 goals Quincy 7 apps 2 goals In their league careers; Theo 421 apps 113 goals Quincy 198 apps 89 goals. Different standard leagues of course. I think they appear to be similar but I think Primes may well have a better instinct for the goal! I hope this happens.

Miltonaggro Posted 20 January, 2018 Share Posted 20 January, 2018 Promes will adopt the Theo Walcott sop for the masses role for the next fortnight right up until the point that he 'slips through our fingers'. Great player and just what we've needed since the Mane departure but I think we have more chance of signing Quincy Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's purely for financial reasons. Sometimes players have a belief that they can make enough of a difference to push a team up a level. If this guy is as good as he appears and we had him all season playing instead of Redmon, for example, I believe we would be higher than we are right now.

SuperSAINT Posted 21 January, 2018 Share Posted 21 January, 2018 Found this in an article about him from last year: Meanwhile, Liverpool’s hopes of signing Dutch wideman Quincy Promes have received a setback as his current net wages are £4.2m a year – about £7m a year, which is outside their budget.

Ultimatt Posted 21 January, 2018 Share Posted 21 January, 2018 The owner of Promes' club, Spartak in an interview with Reuters: Fedun did not disclose the club’s budget but said it was equivalent to that of the “top two or three teams of England’s Championship”. He said Spartak could not compete with European clubs for the acquisition of elite players because salaries had skyrocketed. “We are witnessing huge inflation in soccer,” he said. “In these conditions, it is impossible to compete with the West with Russian means.” https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-sport-soccer-spartak/spartak-moscow-owner-says-would-not-sell-the-club-idUSKCN1BV2KP I'd suggest we can pay a better salary than they are.
