We are now being strongly linked to Hugo Entike. To be honest he wasn't on my radar as I believed he was going to Liverpool or Utd.
I can only remember seeing him play one game and he wasn't brilliant but I spent a considerable amount of time checking him out last night and he does look useful.
Quick enough, with a good first touch and works hard. I hate to say this but a more aggressive version of Havertz springs to mind.
Anyway, I would love to know what you guys think about him and maybe if you have time Ed you give us your opinion on the lad?

Entike would be a wonderful signing Tom but I think Liverpool are in for him?

We generally win out on that score if the player has a choice! haha!

Ed001, do you have an opinion about Entike’s ability?
{Ed001's Note - Hugo Ekitike you mean? Before now I wouldn't have been all that impressed, but last season he was excellent. The question is whether it is a flash in the pan or if he genuinely is that good?}

Ed, yes I do and thanks so much for your opinion.

Thanks Ed001 would you go for Gyokeres instead if an option?
{Ed001's Note - no, the reason Gyokere is still there is because he lacks acceleration. I am not sure he is suited to the Prem. Though he did well at Coventry, so maybe he could. Hard to be sure, but Ekitike looks to have much more potential.}

But yes I agree that Elitike impressed last season.
