Of course he isn’t and nobody is claiming he is. If he gets half that ratio he will be worth the money though, especially if he’s keeping defences occupied, stretched, running the channels and generally being enough of a nuisance to create space for Cunha and hopefully Mbeumo to capitalise on.

Nik (@Rood), Jamie (@Vault Dweller) and Ed (@That'sHernandez) give their end of season awards out! They celebrate the best players, goals and moments of the season (there were some, honestly) and also give out awards for the worst and most disappointing players/moments of the season.
They then discuss all the latest transfer rumours and get into the potential ins and outs this summer at Old Trafford.
Certainly, especially as you down the league. He could still do a job for us - 15 non-penalty goals would be a fine return. But the risk is that he's used to scoring a goal a game, and if that dries up, his confidence drops as a result.
To be fair, Hoijlund looked stronger and faster in his first season than his second. It’s a difficult one. The most important quality I would judge is his movement. Don’t know much about Gyokeres, but his movement has to be far better than Houjlund’s. He also doesn’t seem to need that much space to get shots away. Something Hoijlund is still struggling with.
That’s my impression as well. Those clunky players don’t tend to be successful in the prem. I think he’d struggle honestly.
I’m not sure but I don’t think it’s relevant anyway. Hojlund never uses his pace, he’d rather just wrestle with the centre backs.
Victor Valdes, Victor Baia and Victor Ikpeba off the top of my head.
* Grabs the popcorn *
33 goals in 105 games at Sociedad, I am sure our fans would have slated that signing too. Although he would have excelled in those early ETH days
In short bursts Gyokeres easily. He's much more explosive. Over longer distances it's more equal, but those circumstances rarely occur in our games.
Need him to do a Rojo now.
A fair few Sporting fans have said that the source isn’t really that good for them.
This may get ugly
He's a Coventry City supporter
Ekitike it is then.
That's not true though, one of those 2 years you mentioned he was actually poor, his last year at Coventry was good that I can admit
You know this guy was a grafter in the Championship right? He’s not some wallflower who doesn’t know what English football is or what it entails.
Don’t know why players rely on “gentleman’s agreement “. If it’s not in paper, it doesn’t exist
Strictly speaking, that's now how contracts work
Has Gyokeres got Harry Kane's brother as his agent?
It’s looking at lot more likely he’ll be moving to Liverpool.
Valdes
Osimhen had a spell from December to Feb for Galatasaray, where he scored 1 outfield goal in 11 games. If he can go on an 11 game drought in Turkey, what do you think will happen in the PL vs much better teams.
They’re spending like a state if that’s the case.
Would be an insane window for them if that materialised.
This is nothing to do with style of football, we see it in promoted teams in England too. Players are used to dominating in one context, and when the goals and performances are suddenly a lot harder to come by, its difficult to maintain the same level of confidence. Success breeds success as far as confidence is concerned.
Yes, he was thriving in an underdog team, grafting in the Championship before leaving. Strength of character and mental fortitude are some of his biggest strengths. Would back him to be one whose head doesn’t drop. Some might even say he’s more heart than ability - a fighter and grafter.
Late bloomers tend to have that chip on their shoulder and play - and cope - with hardships rather seamlessly given their path to the top was full of pitfalls. Drogba, Wright, Vardy etc. he’s of that stock mentally.
I trust Amorim on this. I don't see Arsenal spending on him if they get Sesko.
Long winded way of saying they want more than 60+10m
Could get tricky if he starts agitating for the move as rumored though
Wow it has gone very public.
Bleurgh. Sporting getting on their high horse doesn’t suit us.
Rio on Osimhen;Really? Would love to hear his views on him. Funnily enough, Rio’s biggest “weakness” was fiercely competing for aerial balls.
Suffice to say this all ending up quite acrimoniously between him and Sporting
You’d think this will end with a transfer, just not sure where he goes.

If it’s not for the previously reported €60m, risk goes up exponentially
I mean, paying north of that for goals against Casa Pia, all due respect - it starts to get shaky

These are always very prideful clubs, they rarely ever want to be seen as having one done over them especially for their best/most important players...
