Taiwo Micheal Awoniyi of NIGERIA!

[GreeksBearingGifts]

Liverpool's Taiwo Awoniyi is supposedly an Olympiacos target. He's had very good loan spells in Belgium and the Netherlands in the past, but a disastrous one at Mainz this season (he has hardly played). Good strong striker, aged 22, with a good finish. I think he also plays on the wings.

As is always the case when a transfer target plays in a position where both clubs are looking to bring players in, I cannot rule out that they mean the other club.

If he comes he's called Terry

I can't think of a decent pun on this guy's name, so it's a No from me.

More chance of Tae Bo in a Onesie?

No pun, but a rapper could work on his name (if you put the stress on the last syllable):

He
is Taiwo Awoniyi
and he's undoubtedly the key
to score the goals you need to see
see

etc.

This is the guy who Liverpool rated highly but they couldn’t get a work permit for him for years so had to keep loaning him out (which is why he had so many loans)

I'm surprised we're linked with him, he's a bloody good striker, in fact I remember someone saying we should go in for him on the Transfer thread and I said I thought he'd be out of our range with Union having qualified for Europa League. Shows what I know

Waiting for strummer.....

Good record, looks a handful. I can't keep up.

Davis replacement/bait. Big strong lad!

 

[McLeftfoot]

Not a chance.

 

[NFFC_Josh]

Surely not - that would be an insane signing

 

[Haych]

15 league goals in the Bundesliga I think. We mean business this summer.

 

[Bob Fossil]

Right. This is too much excitement for one night

 

[karteo]

That's a great signing if it happens. Great addition

'Speaking to Kicker in February, Awoniyi said he dreams of returning to the Premier League one day: “Everyone knows that, including here at the club. If I lived in England, it would be easier for my wife and child. Also my sister and a brother live on the island.”'

I don’t get excited about many highlights vids but some of those goals are sublime

Feels like the club is recruiting the way most fans would. Not going OTT, for big names, just recruiting players that have a high ceiling and a point to prove.

 

[GreeksBearingGifts]

We had tried to get him on loan for a couple of transfer windows a couple of years back. Great player with steady progress, which is uncharacteristic for many youngsters who are constantly loaned out.

Davis type player, isn't he?

 

[Blinkin]

If we get him I will streak naked down my street whilst drinking champagne.

I'd say they're a bit different, despite him being a big lad I don't think he's quite as physically imposing as Davis but he's quick, good movement and a good finisher. I could see there being room for both of them in the squad.
