I know we haven't seen a lot of him at this level, and there are credible arguments to be made for more experienced strikers that have been doing it in the PL for years, but to me he is the most natural finisher we've seen since RVP. He doesn't need clear cut opportunities to find the net. He is as confident on his left as he is his right, and he's only going to get better. What a player.
Greenwood is the Best Finisher in the League
- Thread starter ivaldo
- Start date
He is going to challenge Mbappe and Haaland as generational type of talent in coming decade.
Shades of Ronaldo about this lad
*World.
Best young finisher I have seen since Fowler burst out.
Sancho
It's hard to believe he's 18.
Curious to see where he ends up as a player, where he will end up playing at 25 years old, how good he might end up being at 25 (no pressure on him of course) just how he progresses in general.
He is a wonderful talent.

Harry Kane for me... But he's up there... Though I'm hesitant to hype up our young lads too much
must have one of the best shots: on target : goals in PL?
Great shout. Very like Fowler with how he finds the corners with little backlift. Greenwood is a better dribbler than Fowler was, though, and more two-footed. (Although Fowler’s right foot was decent.)
Don't want to put undue pressure on the lad but I'd be surprised if he isn't better than Messi by the time he's done.
He's definitely up there.
Boy makes using both feet look easy
I was hoping one of the statbots would conjure that up.must have one of the best shotsn target:goals in PL?
He's a good finisher, but the best in the league? Jesus.
Aguero's a better finisher than Kane imo
Insane couple of strikes today on either foot!
For me, he's as talented as anybody out there in the world for scoring goals, maybe not for everything you want from a forward (yet) but as far as scoring goals, he's up there with anybody.
Agreed.
Greenwood was a sure thing from 16, his game is so solid.
Aguero is still the best
Fowler was a great poacher as well, we haven’t seen that yet from Greenwood. Clearly he’s not played much as a central forward. If he has that on his locker than he’s going to be utterly deadly.
Perfect young player to unleash on mid table teams to stuff them with goals.
Incredible power in some of the shots. Keeper reaches the ball and can't handle it.
Elite european talent for sure.

They said that on the commentary too (though limited to English).
Harsh on Owen I thought... Cracking finisher when he burst into the scene.
Yeh I think it would be Mbappe vs Sancho for best talented forward with goals and assists, and then Haaland vs Greenwood for the best finisher/goalscorer.
I genuinely think that if he's starting games consistently for us, he'd win the Ballon D'or within the next 3 years. The guy has 15 goals already and he's been a bit part player! A full season and he can get 30 odd goals easily with current ability
Future Ballon d'Or winner this guy!
Super lethal, give him the ball and he will get you 30 goals a season soon enough. Ronaldo and Messi type numbers eventually!

Jesus isn't even the best finisher at City, still Aguero for me.
Mason above them both.

GOAT material
Chill.
Noo, I was just using the classic "oh jesus expression". The Jesus boy is pretty dogshit to be honest.
It's all there to see.
Yep no undue pressure thereI think it's too early really. We need to see him be able to finish all types of chances to really know.
Scratch that. He's obvious the greatest player of all time.

He's definately on a par with Kane. Sky's the limit with this young man!
Possibly only second to Haaland I think. Haaland doesn’t have two feet like Mason though. It’s close. For me best two young finishers in the world never mind the league.
What can I say, firm believer in not going overboard with kids.
Poor finisher and don't know what offside means.
Why not?
