Eye test. Guy looks clumsy as feck. And yeah, he also looks slow.
Max speed is something completely different. Starting speed is what is important. Speed in first 5m-10m.

no your wrong, people want anyone who isn't under the control of the Levy.People want this guy over Kane
Second goal is pure Di Canio
He sometimes has unusual hand/arm movement while running, a bit like Crouch in his playing days.

How good was he?
He had few chances to score but failed to convert any of them, he still looks pretty unrefined to me.
Slightly raw, but not sure what the people describing him as slow had in mind. If he wasn't caught in the RB machine , I'd have been up for him signing alongside Hojlund (as Martial replacement in the squad, even if we had to pay more than the minimal fee Leipzig handed over.
Bit like Hojlund for me - fast, strong, gets in good positions but isn’t converting as much as he will in the next 2-3 years.
he’ll be elite, same as Hojlund. Those two and Ferguson are as close to sure things as you get for strikers at that age outside the absolute top young players like Rooney, Ronaldo, Messi etc

Him and Hojlund as our striking options would have been great
One wonders how far along their development curve each of hojlund (who secured a big move sooner), sesko and Ferguson are.
Overall this should be an interesting season to watch for them and perhaps compare, after all such a dearth of promise forwards in the market as of now.

It was a nice cameo from him where he displayed good acceleration and ability to shoot well with his weaker foot. Sesko was the one I wanted us to sign and it seems we did try to sign him but unfortunately the move didn't materialize. It'll be interesting to see how he does working under Marco Rose. He's 6'4 with good touch and technique and fantastic acceleration.
At the time I wasn't fimiliar with Rasmus Hojlund, so hopefully he can develop into a top class striker for us in the coming years.

I really liked the look of this player when we were linked to him. Seemed to have all the natural tools. Haven’t followed him properly though.
Scored two nice goals away vs Union

Get him in next season for 70m. Play with 2 strikers up top. The old way.

I don't mind either of these two. But Ferguson is going to way more expensive than Sesko. I actually wanted Sesko last year when we were linked with him. Shame he went to Leipzig instead. Good career decision for him ofcourse but still a shame.
A goal and two Assists last night for Slovenia. How does he measure up to Holjund?
Now that we have Højlund, who should be the other striker? Let’s say £60m for Sesko or £100m for Ferguson? I personally would choose Ferguson even if the price would be way more than Sesko.
Sesko
He was so good yesterday, the best I've seen him play. His overall play improved a lot during offseason. He could be on path to become best Slovenian player ever. With him, Oblak and Bijol we have a decent core, and hopefully we can challenge Denmark and Finland for top spot in the qualifying group.
Said the same thing in the Euro qualifying thread. Genuinely surprised me how much better he’s got on the ball. I know the defending wasn’t great, but that second assist was lovely.
As for Slovenia, I think that Finland result really messed up their chance of top spot but second would still be great. The squad depth, up front especially, is really nice to see.
I'm begging for a 4-4-2 with a non-winger on one side.Get him in next season for 70m. Play with 2 strikers up top. The old way.
A single striker system has been the norm for such a long time it feels like starting a game with 2 strikers is something revolutionary.
I would love to see it!
I think the modern day centre backs would shit a brick to be honest.
I'd love a return to 2 forwards. Rashford one side, say Mount the other side and 2 in midfield. I'd love it, relentless attacking, defenders wouldn't have a clue what to do for a while.
Rashford is basically the 2nd striker in our team. There's no place in the team for a 3rd one, especially a traditional one like Sesko or Ferguson.
Our midfield would be overrun though.
Sesko
Rashford is utterly incapable of playing as a competent striker at this level.
It would be Bruno on the right.
Yeah I’d hate to lose all that control we’ve been having in the middle of the park
The wide forward in modern football is a striker in all but name which is the position Rashford usually plays.
Nah, one winger tucks as a centre mid.
To be fair, the amount of time and space he was afforded on the ball there was pretty comical. Under intense pressing you can see him turning it over a lot because he looks pretty ungainly. But I’m just going off that short video. I certainly didn’t see a Benzema clone. Then again, aside from YT vids, I’ve hardly seen this guy play.
