He had scored 2 and had opportunities to have a pop at goal, but rightly passed to players in better positions. Quite a few strikers would not have been so unselfish.

Scored three good goals but was also very impressive with his overall play.

Think we are all resigned to the fact that Moussa will be off by the end of the season, leaving us with plenty of dosh to make him a permanent signing if we want to. We've wasted millions buying dud strikers in the past but this lad looks quality.

So far so good.

Said to my mates before the game that in the brief appearances hes had so far he has been good on the ball but poor off it (movement & pressing lacking).

He looked like he had improved on those things on Saturday. Hopefully it continues. I'm glad we brought him in instead of relying on the two with Sinclair up front in an emergency.

If there's any chance of us paying it, he needs to play a fair few more games between now and end of season.

Don't think we'll buy him. Done well this weekend but still don't think he make himself the focal point of the attack enough.
Would like to see him dominate the final 3rd of the field, holding up the ball and bringing others into play like Dembele.
Still, he could and will improve in this side of the game. However, when you carry the pricetag he does... you'd want the finished article.

Unfortunately, the price tag he carries won’t even buy you a reserve player in most of the main European leagues.

Think we should give him a chance and see how the season develops, Saturday was an excellent display and here's hoping for many more.

I know his reputed price tag seems high , but prices overall are going nuts and i think a lot of us need to realize that even at 8m this guy could be a bargain. Moussa will be away in the summer and if we dont get at least 30m for him i will be very surprised . Replacing him could be very expensive if you want the same sort of potential to work with , so if Eddie can keep improving between now and then its a no brainer for me , sign him. His hat trick was impressive for many different reasons , especially as a previous poster said he didn't get greedy after he had scored 2 , but for me the third goal was my favourite. The way he waited just long enough for the defender to commit to the backward header before moving into position to intercept it was spot on. Impressive display , but it has to continue , go for it Eddie.

His anticipation for the third was excellent.
His anticipation for the first was excellent too.

Would be fairly happy with that.

Dembele seems like a nice lad and PSG are his team. If he's gonna leave us he may as well go to the team who have a bottomless pit of cash who are also offering a ready made replacement :thumbsup:

I've had a nasty feeling for a wee while that this is the deal that has already been struck ...

Dembele is getting nowhere near that PSG front line. Not yet anyway.

Give him some game time, and then we can decide whether to put in an offer. One swallow doesn't make a summer, but I think he could be the real deal. We have him until they end of the season, so plenty of time to make up our mind.

I suppose being the only guy to score against them on CL so far would help, especially as he's playing for the pot 4 club.

£30 + edouard would probably be fair, all things considered...

Like the look of him & the other players were all over him at the celebrations - which is always a good sign.
But £6m is waaay too much surely?
Supposedly paid £4.5m for N'Tcham who had a season in Serie A.
Seems to be out of our comfort zone & I honestly don't see us going for that - closer to Oliver's price would seem fair.

Wouldn't surprise me if we bought a striker like Edouard for £6m considering we are likely to sell Dembele for £20-30m at the end of the season.
You'd think so but we still haven't replaced Wanyama!

A lot could happen if QSG is hit by FFP and have to sell their top stars and replace them. Neymar could leave earlier than expected too. Real Madrid are interested :lol:

He played well and scored 3 against a Motherwell side who would have been tired after 2 demoralising games against us.

I don’t think we can yet say he is worth spending 7/8 million pounds on.

We got Dembele for a fraction of that amount.
