Jamal Lowe

Has he really pulled up any tree's for foreign clubs to warrant an interest in signing him. Similar to Dhanda's supposed interest. Surprised if this has legs.

He got 4 goals less than Ayew who was on pens (Ayew scored 5 pens)

Instinctively £6m feels high but at say £4m would that give the kind of kitty we would need for the players Martin wants?

And - assuming its true - better to lose Lowe than Grimes?

Possibly is to high, but I’m sure Anderlecht payed around 8M for Kemar Roofe, if we are to lose anyone of our ‘star’ players this season unfortunately I’d have to say Roberts would be the one I’m willing to leave to boost funds but his injury isn’t helping that situation.

A relatively small proportion of Anderlecht's transfer payments have been big money in recent years (maybe why they have dropped down the rankings a bit).
Anything like £2 million for Lowe would be good from them. Also he's not on a very big (comparatively) wage so unless Piroe is his replacement the sums don't really benefit us.
PS
14 league goals last season has only been bettered a few times in the last 11 seasons and never as a 'second striker'
£ for £ (inflation adjusted) he's only behind Michu in goals per £.

I can understand us buying cheap and selling big, but the figures that are being bandied about for Lowe and Grimes, believed to be maybe a couple of million each, are not worth it when the club is trying to progress.

Personally I like Lowe and I think that the RM style of football will suit him far more than Cooperball. As a result I would prefer him to stay and would only really be happy selling him if the funds raised went to recruiting a high calibre striker like Thomas Henry.

How much we thinking? Bear in mind Wigan payed 2.5M for him so the 800K we payed was due to their financial problems, on the back of a solid scoring season for us,6-8M?

Instinctively £6m feels high but at say £4m would that give the kind of kitty we would need for the players Martin wants?

And - assuming its true - better to lose Lowe than Grimes?

Only if Grimes signs a new contract.

Goes without saying.

Or at least thats my excuse for not saying it! :lol:

Apart from his purple patch last season he's been fairly ineffective... Cheerio Lowe

Just what the hell ?
Clearly not a fan ?
How anyone could be effective in a side managed by Cooper is amazing.
Think he will be a star for us if he stays this season, with the opportunities and style of play

Yeah I'm basing it off last season, nothing to say he couldn't Thrive under the new manager.

 

[Swansea93]

I like Lowe and he’s been an absolute steal for 800K, how he managed double figures under Cooper whilst playing in a position that’s not his natural one is great effort from him, I’d be disappointed to see him leave this window.

Fair enough. Although his scoring rate wasn't that bad in a side that failed to create too many chances last season
