I mean I highly doubt that the base fee is £7 million.

I would say we're more looking to try and play the same way we did last season but with better players

I’d rather pay £1m loan fee for someone who’s scored goals in this league than £7-8m on a complete unknown.
For that price I’d prefer Adam Armstrong

Unknown players - He's only a striker for one of the biggest countries in the world, but also played at the world cup.

And have southampton quoted someone £7m for Armstrong?

Imagine Hamer putting in corners with four 6ft 3 players in the box...

It would give MR the option of playing with either a lone striker or front 2. One thing we haven't really had in recent years is proper height in the side so that would definitely be welcome.
Not really since Ostigard who had the leap of a salmon

Unknown who has played and scored in the World Cup. Think he is better known than Tom Cannon.
I'm not sure how many times I have to say this but that figure probably includes a lot of bonuses based on him being successful... if he is we can sell him on for shit loads ala Gyokeres if not we lose a little money. Better that than paying dead money on a player we don't own.

Is that really better than this complete unknown who's got a good scoring record in a top flight as well as World Cup experience?

This from US national team Reddit
So many bad opinions in the comments already. If you’ve never seen him play except for limited mins with USMNT then you don’t have a lot of credibility in bashing the kid.
Like it or not, Haji’s a talented young player with potential. Y’all can slate his work rate at the WC, but he accounted for almost all the touches our 9s had in the opponents box at the tournament. His end product wasn’t good, but he was the only one consistently getting the ball in dangerous positions. You can’t score goals if you don’t get into good spots. For the past 2 years Haji has done that and consistently scored goals at club level while competing against progressively better talent.
He went from DEN to TUR and didn’t miss a beat. It’s looking like he’ll prob get a move to a better league during this transfer window. Idk if he’s physical or consistent enough to compete in the EPL right away, but if he ends up in ENG he’ll certainly be forced to raise the level of his game or else he won’t play. I think he would be better suited somewhere in NED, FRA or ESP if the opportunity presents itself.
You also have to think about the type of player Haji is. He doesn’t fit the mold of what Gregg wants from his 9. Haji likes to play on the back shoulder of defenders and run in behind them. He’s not a guy that excels playing back to goal and he isn’t gonna be high pressing defenders for 90’. But if we need a FW that can stretch an opponent’s back line and run the channels then he’s among our best options. With his current career trajectory I’d say he’s somewhere between Jovan Kirovski and Jozy. Enough raw talent for a big club to take a chance on him at a young age, but inconsistent production for club and country. I think Haji’s ceiling could be even higher if he actually stays focused and puts the work in.
This is how I’d rank current USMNT depth at the position (not including players who haven’t declared yet):
1) Sargent
2) Pepi
3) Wright
4) Pefok
5) Dike
6) Vazquez
7) Ferreira

I see another forward arriving as well as this guy leaving Godden as 4th choice/super sub.

In my opinion, yes it is. Tom Cannon is highly regarded and knows the English game… this bloke I’ve never heard of

Is there a big contingent of Americans in Cov?
We're going to need to add another tier to one of the stands to take in these new fans we're going to get!

Robins has already basically said in his last interview post-exeter game that we're trying to play a little differently.

It’s amazing how quickly some portions of a fan base can go from “He’s one of our own” to “Good riddance, he was shite anyway” once the reality they’re leaving sets in.
Seen it happen here many many times down the years.

Not opposed to good quality loans at all. But am slightly opposed to spending £1 million just to get someone in on loan as well as pay their wages. Everton need all the cash they can get, they wouldn't be asking for a fee otherwise.

£7m would be a steal for Armstrong. Didn't he go to Saints for 18m?

OK we should only sign players you've heard of? I think Waghorn and Kane are still without clubs.
Hardly unknown
