Comparing his record to those guys, or anyone, is not going to be enlightening beyond the obvious point that top line stats tell you little about a player’s abilities and potential at this age.
From the clips I've watched an issue of his seems to be ariel duals, so perhaps that might be one area he may struggle with competing with long balls against PL CBs. Given his size and strength, that should be an area he can improve quickly on though.
Not really but ok.
Rashford and even Weghorst and Ronaldo. Martial was first above these
He might very well rate him highly but this quote doesn't prove it, he said the same about De Gea.
But the amount we have spent this summer doesn't suggest we are struggling for cash which could be construed as Our earlier spending not being much of deterrent either .
I wrote this earlier in this thread, maybe even in response to you.
I must have missed this then. In the Mount thread I definitely saw an irrational amount of negativity from some but in the Onana thread and this one I'll be honest I haven't really seen it. I've seen reservations based on a number of legitimate reasons but nothing over the top.
He’s (Gakpo) also not really a 9 and is more importantly average. CF is the hardest to find by far in my opinion.
Martial was above WW and Ronaldo, shocker! One wasn't good enough and the other couldn't do what he wanted and wanted to leave.
Yes, because being content and happy with everything is a major issue on the Caf.

They genuinely have no shame. They can’t wait to do a 3 hour build up with this as the focus on the first derby
Yes and in return, the players are being rewarded (and in some cases more than they actually deserve, going by that wage bill). So phrasing it as "you don't know why players would pick United" because fans are mean to them online, when an overwhelming majority of matchgoing fans get behind the player is bizarre. Not sure why so many of you enjoy kowtowing to multi-millionaries getting rich off you, weird stuff.
The fact we are signing Hojlund and not Kane /Osimhen when signing a world class no9 was ETH priority at the start of the window suggests we have financial issues.
We should just buy Haaland from City
Comparisons are inevitable Let them do it , but it would be glorious if Hojlund can score the winning goal and Haaland is Kept quite in their First Derby we can hope can't we .
Well said!
I don’t disagree with the rest of this post but I think we have to the notion of us having ‘nowhere near the budget of City’. We have been working with comparable resources for the last decade, it’s just that we have been using it very poorly.
They are clueless clickbait cnuts.
What is the point of this tweet?
Osimhen is valued at 200m euros by Napoli. They rejected 130m bid from Saudi and close to 120m from PSG earlier.
EngagementWhat is the point of this tweet?
Yeah. Better make sure we get Kane and Osimhen as “backup” while we’re at it. And by the way, we can get all three for half what we’re paying for this Hojlund bloke.
I have bored people to death with this idea. If we sign a young player that has a high potential then we need to play him. There is no ifs and buts, there is no what about the pressure or anything, the most recent good example of that is Vinicius people seem to forget that Vinicius wasn't ready, he struggled for a while which culminated with the infamous clip of Benzema allegedly telling other teammates to stop giving him the ball during a game. They kept playing him and he rewarded them.
You new to the caf?
Napoli actually valued him at 150m euros. He didnt want to go to Saudi.
Oh! That reminds me, I'm about to start a new thread on something in a moment related to that! I'll link it there.
A year ago Kolo Muani was free, with an average Bundesliga club the best interst he could muster
I'm not so sure that Muani fits the profile of centre forward we were looking for. Ramos does, but perhaps we view Højlund as the bigger talent or deem Ramos to be too expensive.
Yeah great idea and swap sleeve sponsors for xg stats.
