Kasper Dolberg

Probably is more of less done. Waiting on them getting the replacement striker in. Then it'll all go at once.

 

The arrogance and cowardice you show in unison is remarkable. You have the bar set so low for Dolberg already. The manager wants goals in his side. He has said so, this is why Dolberg is being brought in. You are talking about him ripping up this league but absolutely * scared to tell us a metric that can objectively view that.

You are a hot air merchant. You are so extreme in your views on players. We are not allowed even dare to question if Dolberg is going to rip it up here. All I have done is point out a few facts on Dolberg.

Fact no 1
His goal scoring record at Anderlecht is decent, no more. 24/25 goals from play in 72 appearances, 70 as starter is decent. It's not unbelievable or anything like that. That's a statistic.

Fact no 2
His career trajectory since leaving Ajax has been ordinary. He bounced around France, Germany and Spain without doing much.

Fact no 3
We are going getting our pants pulled down o the fee here. He is 28 shortly. He is going to cost more than Idah and the chance of us not taking a hit on him if it doesn't work out is very big. That's not his fault. That is on our board but so was Idah's fee and it done for him in our expectations.


Which of those do you contest. You seem to be objecting to me raising all these quite balanced viewpoints and urging a bit of caution of the "rip it up" hype that you and others are pushing. With all your hot air, you are too scared to even tell us a measurable metric on Dolberg. How many goals from play, how many goals from player per min constitutes him ripping it up here? 25 SPL goals, a non penalty goal every 120 minutes? 10+ assists?

You won't commit to that as you are a complete bluffer. Your football knowledge effectively boils down to Danish international = good.

I'm on the fence on Dolberg. I have an open mind on him. I certainly don't think he's a dud, I'm just not convinced he is going to come here and rip up the league. He hasn't done that anywhere in his career to date which he is now in the second half of. Time will tell in that front but I have noted how scared you are to put any sort of criteria on it that is objective and independent.

Finally you are just pedalling complete falsehoods on our discussions on Idah. Once again I have to remind you that in those posts I was critical of Idah, I said he was on borrowed time and that he was in a battle to save his career here. I said his finishing wasn't good enough, his focus wasn't good enough. I said he wasn't aggressive enough. I did say he had good movement and that was backed up by the no of goals he got relative to his minutes and also the no of big misses he had - only behind Dessers last season - that all points to getting into goalscoring positions. You of course were unable to debate that and resorted to abuse and baseless allegations.

So can you tell us why it's so unreasonable to be balanced and maybe question a narrative that Dolberg is going to tear it up here? I haven't said he's a dud. I've just pointed out the expectation he will come here and rip it up is not something I'm convinced of?

Why is that such an outrageous view and why you are trying to frame me as saying Dolberg is rubbish in the same way of you trying to frame me as not criticizing Idah. I listed all the criticisms of Idah above. I said he was in a race to save his career and Rodgers was running of time. I just said your criticism of his movement was unfair as it's one of the things he does well on particularly running the channels and it's supported by how he gets into so many goalscoring chances. Now you're trying to frame me as arguing Idah did represent value for money.

 

I weirdly still think this'll get done. They've got 3 other forwards besides Dolberg and Bertaccini. And bringing in this boy from Portugal looks more like a Dolberg replacement. They paid 11 million for Engels. They can easily go to 10.5 mill for this lad

 

I just can't see them paying so much for a player at 27/28 who isn't going to recoup their investment

 

Hitting ignore now, you're insufferable.

 

Behave.

Fast forward 360 odd days, and say he’s scored the goals that have got us into the 2026/27 CL: that’s his fee paid back 4-fold…

 

Hitting ignore because you got found out to be a hot air merchant who resorted to trying to misframe my points. You were found out now toddle along. Good lad.

 

Naw: many of us are hitting ignore because you spew 2000 word posts full of garbage.

 

This does my nut in too. Sometimes we just need to sign guys who are good and gonna perform for us now and not just hope they might be good and make us 10x profit in a few years.

 

As much as we are bad for lowballing for players, I do find it ironic that likely the same people saying "just pay the £10m" will probably use it as a stick to beat him with if he doesn't start on fire, a la Idah and Engels.

I think this will get done if it's true they have bid for another striker, but would be a whole lot more comfortable if we didn't have a number of failed transfers already this summer.

 

We need to push the boat out and get this done, I think a big part of idahs problem is that he cant handle the burden of being celtics number 1 striker, he goes on goalscoring streaks when his confidence is ip then doesn't score for 6 games when the confidence diminishes. Dolberg has played for big clubs with big expectations and scored goals. The board need to ignore the resale value on this one and concentrate on the here and now.

 

We can certainly afford it but I think the rationale on the Engels transfer was that there was an expectation we'd move Engels on for £20m. He was 20 when we signed him and just called into the Belgian squad.

Dolberg is at the other end of his career so this would be a transfer aimed at delivering is a return on the pitch solely. This would be a big departure for the board to spend that kind of money on this type of player. I'm all for these kind of investments but I think it's obvious we will have our pants pulled down on the few and that's on the board.

 

No many are pressing ignore because you don't like being exposed as hypocrites. I have made balanced and measured points. What do you disagree with what I've said?

 

The * are technically only shelling out an extra 3.5 million for Dolberg if we punt Idah for 7 million to Swansea

 

Right so if the bid was rejected, (not entirely believing a fan site if I'm honest), are we expected to increase it or are we still negotiating?

 

Belgian media quite arrogant Tbf if we are getting dolberg for 8/9 they won’t be able to accept it look how our media portrays rangers signings
