Knew nothing about Bowen, so looked him up.

Impressive stats (albeit at Championship level) .

You Tube video shows a very direct, very two footed, reasonably quick attacker who can get past the last man.

Think Defoe and you’ll have a decent idea.

I think he’s a bit of a punt and it’s telling that only Palace have shown any real interest.

Can he make it in the Prem v the best defenders? Time will tell.

I'm very wary of championship players i, e SNODGRASS CRESSWELL NOBLE but what I will say regarding BOWEN is he's strong on 2 feet but has a wand of a left foot reminds me of matty Taylor but 10 times the player he was but a trier just the way he moves as he ain't the quickest but whenever HULL score it normally involves him so you never know he might turn out like a firmer tiger in DANIEL JAMES fingers crossed. COYI.

January is always a TOUGH time to do GOOD business, all the under performing players and those not getting game time and are desperate to leave their clubs tend to move early, are these players the ones we really want. IMO no.
Then, any good players that ARE getting game time tend to move late on in the window, as their clubs want to hold onto them, and the players themselves are maybe thinking they can get even better offers in summer. This is why Jan is a dangerous time to panic buy.
Soucek looks like a good deal. Has experience and was captain of his club suggests that he is a less risky option than Sander Berge would have been, and more likely to adjust to PL quicker. Also, being captain, maybe Moyes feels he has the right ATTITUDE that he wants to bring to the club, and Berge being younger did not bring this.
I hope we can we get Bowen, we need pace and direct players up front with Haller. I think he is too good for the Championship, how good in the prem, we will see one day. Whatever the case, he will put pressure on Lanzini and Anderson to deliver which is a good thing.
As for Giroud, PLEASE NO, we need pace up there badly, and players who can run behind or down the channels.

Move for BOWEN stalled over guess what money AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN penny pinching he's come from HULL to a premier league (debatable) team so wants premier league wages not championship that's all I can imagine it i's I understand they can be verydetailed and long winded but any news ED please mate. COYI.

{Ed002's Note - Hull have a replacement and Bowen is still expected to move today.}

The way we behave over our transfers we don't belong in the premier league. Let's see if they squabble over wages when we get relegated.
