He is valued on the BBC website at £7.36 million. We could sell him 50 times over for that price. Realistically I think we will see £15 plus sell on and appearance clauses.
Fair point. But hardly strikers. If I was paying £20m for a untried kid to put the ball in the onion bag i'm not sure JB would be my 1st choice.
Scores goals Plenty assists Young English Proven over 3 seasons Excellent injury record What's not to like?
So, if we got promoted we'd be looking to replace him, only not with anyone from the lower leagues because they might not make the step up?
I don't have a problem with the kid, but I somehow think he'd struggle to step up to the grade, but eh I've been proven wrong in the past. I suppose we'll only find out for sure if and when he leaves. However, someone I know and who's opinion I respect reckons he could be the new Mo Salah so maybe he'll be a huge success in the prem.
If Andre Gray was worth £18.5 million at 26 years old (2 years ago) you can see where the valuation comes from
Dan James, was untried & similar in a lot of ways to Bowen, not so much playing style other than they play on the wing. If Solskjaer is still trying to build a young British team, he could do a lot worse than shell out £20 million + on Bowen!
The reason most players fail to make the step up is that their effort levels drop when they think they’ve made it. Everything I’ve heard about Bowen suggests he’s the hardest trainer at the club and is totally dedicated to reaching his potential, so I can’t see any reason why he won’t be successful in the prem.
