    Aye, in truth though man for man these two are leagues apart like, majority of NI team are in the championship. 75% possession for Denmark, the two of them best get used to that :emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0117-talki

    No surprise Denmark have stepped up since Hojlund went off

    After I said that I went onto a site I use for betting, has like all the opta data from every game shots, fouls, passes etc great for stuff like that. Anyway for United this season he’s average 1.73 shots per game - Casemiro has averaged 1.74. Even the likes of Vardy and Delap are well ahead of him, as is Onuachu for Southampton. £60m man.

    I can see him scoring a fair few if he remains in the championship

    Aye he’s way short, yet the mega clubs in Italy appear to be lining up for him.

    There’s a player there, just not a great one.

    I'm willing to put it down to Man Utd being a ****show because he looked promising at Atalanta, not worth what they paid and definitely not to be their main striker though.

    Maybe he can resurrect his career going back to Italy this summer but he needs to seriously improve in all areas

    I watched him for United in a Champions League game against Galatasaray and he was superb, seemed to have the lot. Can’t believe how poor he’s been every time I’ve watched him since

    Aye, there’s definitely a bit there. I’ve seen a few games where he’s been decent, but he’s been so consistently not good that he just can’t be seen as quality.

    Still young like.

    His confidence just looks shot to bits. Doesn’t want to shoot or run at defenders ever, seems to always go backwards. Doesn’t help that united are poor mind but you’re thinking for that price tag you should be trying to make something happen

    Can see Hojland in Bundesliga.

    Could see Frankfurt sniffing once they sell Etikike and making him a beast.

    Does anyone build a striker better than Frankfurt?

    How can Hume and Ballard be interested in a friendly a week after a mindblowing game at Wembley ...

    ... I couldn't even be bothered to watch.

    If they sell Ekitike this window that’ll likely be about £140-150m they’ve brought in on two strikers in consecutive windows iirc. Sure Kolo Muani was sold last summer. Mental money

    Aye. Last 5 years or so -

    Kolo Muani £95 million
    Marmoush £75million
    Haller £50million
    Jovic £63million

    Insane. Got about £65 million more for Pacho and Lindstrom as well.

    Nobody ever really mentions them when talking about developing and selling, but they’ve a really low squad age and they are in the CL having won Europa couple years back.

    Ekitite, Wahi & Larsson about another £150millikn before you even look at rest of squad.

    Some club.
