He's got the tools that makes for a prolific forward. Pace, box presence and powerful finishing. I see a Zlatan-esque forward.
He should be demanding his teammates put the ball in the box a lot more often, early crosses isolating defenders like the one he scored vs Palace, he'll score that a lot in his time here.
 
Just thinking back that we would have Martinez and Watkins instead of Lammens and Sesko if Amorim got his way.

Looking like a very lucky escape.
Embarrassed to admit that I was behind Amorim on that one. On the flip side, happy to have been very, very wrong!
 
First one of our recent signings to get his own chant.



It annoys me purely on the basis that they had the chance to end the line on the actual word/name the song does and bafflingly didnt do it.

Also 'Finish like Cole and Yorke' wouldve worked better. Its almost impressive how little theyve thought about it

He'll need better support in the box for that to be effective. No striker can be a consistent threat in the box from crosses if he's in there alone.

We have great goal threat aerially from set pieces, with Maguire and Casemiro. But absolutely no one capable of joining Sesko in the box during attacks and adding another aerial threat. Not sure how many headed goals Amad, Mbeumo, Cunha and Bruno have between them but it can't be many. Amad might actually be the most likely of those to score a header, bizarrely.

Just to reiterate that i am actually very annoyed about this

Yeah the good thing about United attack at the moment is it can hurt you in many ways. Sesko can score your typical strikers goal, Mbeumo would hurt you with pace if you play a high line, Cunha can blast one from range at any time. Amad gives you a bit of wing wizardry, Bruno is the man delivering the service and Dorgu is just pure athleticism. It's the best we've put together post SAF and we're yet to see the best of them.

I think Zirkzee ability to offer the support you speak of is underrated, I think in games against deep sitting teams he has a role to play, he's not everyone cup of tea but he makes a good option in my opinion.
 
Amazing how lucky we were with him. He was at bottom of our shopping list. Basically 5th choice.
First Chelsea took our priority signing (thank feck for that), then late charge for Ekitike failed, then Gyokeres rejected us, then Villa outpriced us from Watkins.

We've been chasing him for years. He rejected us multiple times to develop more elsewhere :lol:

Delap was a budget market opportunity, giving up budget for other areas too.

We're fortunate Gyokeres and Watkins didn't make the move, but lets face it, they were Amorim's choices, not the club who favours younger and cost effective options.
 
Also 'he'll sell out the stadium' doesnt really work...he's not fecking Elton John.... I hate it. Idiots
Yeah, it just feels as too much. Sometimes less is more.

"Sesko, he’s alien, Slovenian alien and he scores goals."
 
What happened to our chants, that’s an appalling effort :lol:

No it has to end on Yorke. The whole point is that it has to end on Yorke. You can even get 'Sheringham, Cole and Yorke' in there (courtesy @MikeUpNorth) but it absolutely HAS to end on Yorke - the exact ACTUAL word the song Englishman in New York ends on!

They subconsciously MUST have known this, otherwise why put him in the song??? but they just somehow ...didnt even think about it! Just spewing things out at random with only a vague and careless appreciation of what theyre doing and why. Like children. Stupid stupid children who havent learnt to read yet but pretend they can by guessing the words back at you. What hope do our kids have if these are their role models?? This country has fallen. Games gone...

I am not match going fan so it is not on me to criticize but quality of our chants declined massively. Bruno is the only one who has catchy chant.

Hm, when i think about it, Bruno and Case are the only ones who even have a chant. Who else?
