Benik Afobe
Reports that Benik Afobe could be a £15m target in January. The out of favour Bournemouth striker has scored 10 goals in 30 games in the Premiership.

15 million? He’d be a reasonable back up striker so I wouldn’t complain at this happening but surely there’s better value out there.

Really?
These days £15million gets you a half decent championship striker. For a 1 in 3 Prem striker it would be closer to a bargain than anything!

I agree, he did well at Wolves scoring 22 goals in 46 appearances and came through the Arsenal Academy, but in January clubs pay premium prices. We should trust Roy on his selection.

Afobe would then open to the door to his best mate Wilshire

He was apparently a reason Aresnal released Harry Kane.
He looks very average to me. More of a pick him up on a free 4th choice striker. |

We need him scoring goals, not opening the Hospital doors for Mr Glass

Championship ready signing if ever i saw one. Killing two birds with one stone. A guy that represents reasonable back up and decent option after relegation in one.
Trouble is of course that £15million is what these standard players now cost. |

I watch him week in week out at Bournemouth. He is no better than what we have , apparently a lovely fella but doesn't seem to have the quality for the PL.

Yep and another ploy to bring Wilshere to Selhurst

10 in 30 that cannot be right?
That said wouldnt be against this. £15m hardly gets you much these days... |

Whoscored agree. However it is 10 in 2742 minutes which is equivalent to 30 games. |

You can't be no better than nobody! Or are you are suggesting we play with 10 men when Benteke is not available?

Luka costed 14 million and is levels above Afobe who isn’t a 1 in 3 striker (1 in 5 at best,) you don’t get to be third choice at Bournemouth if you have a 1/3 Prem goal record. Far better value is out there but I don’t trust our scouting network to find it, at the end of the day a good championship striker like Afobe is superior to what we have as backup to Benteke now so I wouldn’t complain if this happened.

Got pace and would be a different option to Benteke. £15m is probably about right in this mad market. If we were relegated it would be the perfect type of signing.

I would rather have Sako up front until Wickham is fit enough to be on the bench to be honest. I wouldn't say Afobe is that quick either, he's average and pretty cumbersome.

Didn't he score against us, a couple of years ago, on his B'Mouth debut ?
Not that that's saying much ! |

Seems awfully expensive just so we stand in better stead to sign Jack Wilshere...
