Jarrod Bowen
Jarrod Bowen
Talking to a Hull fan at work about this lad. He's scored 11 goals for a pretty poor Hull side this season and has just turned 21.
There doesn't seem to be much in the way of rumours or interest regarding him which is a little surprising given his age and current run of form. I wonder if he's one that we're interested in, seems to fit the profile of signing potential.

Re: Jarrod Bowen
Mentioned him a few times, would be a good addition. Former non league player, looks excellent.
Re: Jarrod Bowen
Prem league?
Re: Jarrod Bowen
Current top scorer in the Championship, I knew we should have snapped him up. Going by our previous signings we will at the end of the season if he remains top scorer.

Re: Jarrod Bowen
Alas Matty Vydra was even better than him in the Championship and that hasn't worked out too well (for whatever reason). I know we have to cut cloth accordingly but I can't help thinking we need to set our sights a little higher than Championship players now if we are to improve. If we want to move forward, however slightly, we now have to be more selective in the quality we bring in or we will wind up spending money to stand still. We really need to cast our net more abroad - some excellent players to be had without paying stupid PL money - South America especially.aggi wrote:Talking to a Hull fan at work about this lad.

Re: Jarrod Bowen
Is there no cheaper option available
Failing that we could get an aging old pro in who's hood around the dressing room
Failing both of the above, we could seem interested, put in several low ball bids, not be held to ransom, pull out, and then be out bid in what is a difficult market .
Least we will have made all the right noises, and looked to have been active

Maddison, Brooks and Mount have shown there's plenty of players well capable of stepping up. We clearly don't want to shop abroad, it's just not going to happen under Dyche.

Re: Jarrod Bowen
True. I'm not certain why Dyche doesn't seem too keen on looking abroad because there are players to be had at far less than PL prices. He certainly hasn't had too much luck in that direction with the exception of JBG who was of course used to the English game before we got him. The other problem, which I'm sure affects a lot of clubs is how many decent quality strikers would come here knowing that without injuries or suspensions they are doomed to be on the bench because at the moment Dyche, quite rightly, isn't gonna drop Barnes or Wood. We're not Chelsea or City where they would come for the money and glamour, we are Burnley and no good striker is going to join us to sit on OUR bench I believe. Jay came back but he loves the club and the town and is, to be fair, probably past his best. Unfortunately he hasn't broke any pots since he came back, but again to be fair that may be down to not playing enough.jrgbfc wrote:Maddison, Brooks and Mount have shown there's plenty of players well capable of stepping up.

Re: Jarrod Bowen
Regarding Bowen, I've got to confess to being a bit sceptical about him. When I've seen him he's looked talented and technically good, but quick enough rather than super quick and not super strong. Those sorts of players, not unlike Wells, don't always translate to the Premier League and so I don't think his success is guaranteed. So at the reported prices, I'd question whether he's a great fit.
All of our transfer strategy is based around pragmatism. The only times we've really speculated in recent times are when we have needed to turn to plan B late in a window - Gibson and Vydra being the obvious examples - and even then whilst Gibson hasn't forced himself into the team, he had a solid PL track record. Whilst I could see us paying £20 million for the right player, I can't see us paying that for players who have any real element of risk about them. That also removes quite a lot of overseas players from the equation.

I agree with the fundamental point that we need to start moving away a little from the 'British/Irish' model, especially because we baulk at paying the premiums associated with such players, but I don't think these bargains are easy to find abroad as you think. Look at Almiron e.g. - playing in MLS, yet still cost Newcastle north of £20 million. And he's been a wash out. Also Wesley at Villa - signed from the usual bargain basement of the Belgian league - again north of £20 million. Fulham could probably provide you with an extended list of the failed Ligue 1 flops that's been on their books.
We can be frustrating sometimes, particularly with the so-called 'low ball' strategy that's apparent, but it's not easy at all, especially with our budget, which we still have to keep a tight rein over.

Actually one stat that slightly shocked me (although I don't know why) was the fact that just over 65% of players in the PL are foreign. No wonder it's taken us forever to get a half decent England team together.
Having said all that I wouldn't mind one or two decent foreigners.

There have been relatively few successful signings from South America (directly) who have been made by clubs at our level in the PL - partly because the work permit criteria mean that only top class players from those countries can generally get WPs.

Re: Jarrod Bowen
As he pointed himself, he didnt get a chance when both Wood and Barnes went 10 games without a goal at the start of last season.bobinho wrote:May I offer two very good reasons?
Barnes and Wood.
Barnes scored 1 in the first 15 games with 5 games or more either side of his only goal in those 15, and Wood didn't score in the opening 10 games, when our form and results were a major concern
If he didn't get the chance then, he never was likely too.
The form of Barnes and Wood is irrelevant, he wont play unless absolutely necessary.
He is the one forward we wanted to go this summer, sadly it didn't happen.
Hopefully for everyone's sake, that happens in January.

Re: Jarrod Bowen
Spice, do you not think all of our signings are a gamble simply because we don't have the money or pulling power to attract established Premier League players? Tarkowski, Westwood, Wood, Barnes, Gudmundson, Hendrick and others, none of them had really proved themselves at our present level and so were all pretty much uncertain quantities.
When people complain about Wells, Vydra and other signings that haven't come off, I don't accept that criticism. The surprise is that so few of our signings haven't been worth the money when we always have to just hope that anyone we bring in will be able to make the step up.

But yes, you're right. Tarks and Barnes are a little different because we signed them when we were in the Championship. Westwood was a a bit of a gamble but had played over 100 games at this level and he only cost £5 million. Gudmundson only cost £3 million, which only really leaves Wood and Hendrick who were gambles that we paid (at the time) "big" fees for. But as risks go they were relatively steady punts - they had good track records, and the fees were big without being outrageous. I'm not sure either was in the same league as paying north of £20 million for Bowen, for example (even allowing for inflation).
Re: Jarrod Bowen
Scored another two yesterday, as did Eze at QPR. Bowen's contract is up this summer but apparently Hull have the option to trigger an extra 12 months, which its certain they will do, even if it just means getting a bigger fee for him.
Re: Jarrod Bowen
He'd be a welcome addition to the bench.

Or they’ll look at what happened to Pope, Tarkowski, Hendrick, Westwood, JBG, Wood and Barnes and see we actually have a decent track record of signing players from Championship clubs and turning them into Prem players.
