I'm not debating Kane's ability or greatness.
I'm just not a fan of spending £100m on a 30 year old.
Hojlund has his entire career ahead of him. £60m on a 6 year (5+1, as reported by media) contract is £10m per year. He really has to be poor to not make this good value.
This is almost like the logic we saw when Moyes was given the job… it’s dangerous.
Højlund is statistically more likely to be a dud than he is to be a true great like Kane / Haaland - and that’s not a slight upon him, that’s the case for every 20yo striker that’s 18 goals into their career.
People start believing that ‘potential’ is almost guaranteed. It isn’t.
He might end up a Haaland / Kane and I hope he does, but it’s more likely he won’t.
Thus - the price should lower, or if you’re gonna pay big, go the whole way and get Kane.
