Its debatable. Sounds like he is sitting on the fence about Sasa.
Brilliant player the lad
He really isn't a bad player, think for a guy of his size he has solid technique and fundamentals, he's not the donkey people believe him to be. There's a reason Dortmund and Bayern allegedly sniffed around him.
Trouble for me is his age. He's by no means old, but at 25, you're more or less buying the finished product. Think he could develop into a very good CF if he still had potential to grow (as a player, not in size, duh), but at 25 that's unlikely

25 years old with a bang average goal scoring record. Yep, he's the guy for us.
It’s like ETH played football manager and filtered by forwards > 6ft.

I’m a bit more open to this.
I was instantly shocked by his goal scoring record but then watching him a bit closer made me realize that he isn’t that high line type of breaking forward.
He seems more about his first touch, heading, volleys etc
Maybe he is suited to more compact defensive leagues rather than being those fast penetrating forwards of the Bundesliga

Clearly they are trying to conquer the Austrian market, the interest in Laimer points into that direction as well. Thus the next candidate will be Michael Gregoritsch. And then Karim Onisiwo.
MUFC alpine skiing division next
He has the smallest head on his shoulders for a guy who's 6 ft I've ever seen.

Looks like a bit of a nothing player to me but if it means we never have to see that god awful false 9 system again just get any striker in.
He's using reverse psychology. Sign him up.
How is he compared to the likes of Benteke, Ighalo and Dominic Calvert-Lewin?
Not sure goals are really the main focus in the CF we're looking for. If they were, we wouldn't have been looking at Marco Arnautovic, who at his very peak was an 11 goals a season player in the PL.
At Ajax ETH was happy enough to go long to Haller to by-pass the opposition press, particularly in bigger games. Having a striker of this profile would allow us that same option, which in our case would be particularly useful as we sometimes struggle to play from back to front. I can imagine a lot of scenarios where even just bringing a target man on for the last 20min helps change the game for us by giving us an out ball from defence.
And Sasa also seems to have good workrate. 75th percentile for pressures in the attacking third last season, 81st the season before that. Which contrasts with Martial (usually 24th-35th percentile) and Ronaldo (usually 1st-14th percentile). Again it's not hard to imagine games where having the option of a CF better suited to that sort of pressing game helps.
Not an expert on him by any means, Stuttgart is my nemesis, but think DCL is not that far off. For obvious reasons more dominant in the air. I think he's technically way more rounded and better than someone like Benteke, and to be honest I can't quite remember what Ighalo was like when he was actually good
From what I've seen of him, he's like Crouch. Strong pass from me
He’s like a tall, slow Ighalo without the finishing.
Just had an assist Bruno would be proud of, great ball splitting the defense

Can’t say I’m that excited but at least it’s someone.
Never watched him. Is he any good?
Let me guess. We actually haven't.
Seeing whispers that we've agreed terms with Stuttgart...
Never heard of him
no. I also don't believe that this is true.
What? Ok.
Will need more than just that silly account
How did you get an Oleised nickname from that though?!
Sassy? Kally? Ziccy?
