Kopparberg Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I remember he scored at Hillsborough… lots of goals for Hull that season Made the step up to the Prem Doing really well Rumours of Liverpool sniffing around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Playing brilliantly, looks a very good player. Surely an England call up soon. Trouble for him is that there is a lot of competition in that position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Good player The England comment is an interesting one. I’ve known James Morrison for quite a while and I remember he got a call from Scotland asking him to switch nations due to his Grandmother He looked at the England side and at the time there was major, major competition down that side so he felt his chances of ever making the side consistently were limited so he switched Roll it on 3-4 years and all of a sudden that serious talent was on the way out and I think he would have been a very realistic option for England’s right hand side 300+ PL games, 30+ goals, 30+ assists So if I was Bowen I would back myself to play for the best team that I felt I was good enough to represent…not the one where the opportunity was perhaps easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigash_swfc Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I honestly think Newcastle will come in for him. 60 million pounds. If you're paying 60m for Ward Prowse or Bowen, who would you go for tho? Both good options to build a team around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt he will fancy swapping Europa League and a possible top 6 finish in the Prem this season for a relegation scrap, irrespective of the financial incentive.

Forgetting the league position, I’d say West Ham is a better option than Newcastle anyway. Better location if you’re a young multi millionaire, both have similar gates now. Better manager and team, european competition. Newcastle have a lot of work to do to become close to the top 6, things have moved on since the Keegan era and they’ve fallen behind the others when they were once ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigash_swfc Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Last week Newcastle spent 37m After 1-1 with Watford, I think this week Newcastle will spend 100m. And a much more likely option than Bowen, is Adama Traore. But even he will be 40m plus easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2soon Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 He's been a very good signing for West Ham. Some room to improve as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Liverpool v interested and have made enquiries. Was told by someone at West Ham they have, or are about to, make Bowen their highest paid player on 200k a week. Scarily their lowest paid first team squad player (excluding the 3rd choice goalie Martin) is on 55k a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Talk of a £20m release clause for Bowen ? That he himself wanted in when he signed … do Liverpool know this to be true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannofan Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Could get a few games, Sterling, Rashford, Foden, Grealish, Greenwood - All not having great seasons, Bowen definitely having a better season than any of those. Definitely plays in a Southgate way, wide player that can come in and play as a forward . The chat on the Guardian football pod this morning was that when Kane has been injured, no other striker has come in and done a like for like job to the level required ( Calvert Lewin, Bamford, Abraham) , so why not go with the Man City ' interchangeable false nine ) set up. This lad could play in that system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably made the right decision! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
