This is one of the worst highlight reels I’ve ever seen. Diminutive, not even quick, ball striking is poor. What am I missing here? Jonathan David for example is much better than this
Where do you see this “quickness”?Hes quick and tricky and has a track record of scoring for a midtable side - what more do you want?
Wouldnt want him and Odobert running at my defence.
Plus he has one of the sickest penalties in the game - Ivan Toney level coolness. Can’t wait for him and Tel to get into a scrap over who takes penalties. If we ever win any.
Throw in Dom and our plan could be to win the CL by forcing every knockout game to pens.

I'm actually starting to think the main reason Ange was sacked was because he continuously publicly stated that the transfer strategy was a mistake and that experience was what we needed moving forward.
Think if he just agreed with going with the same strategy he would still be here.

Fcuk me mate, you must have low bar.
Talent-wise and having shown capacity against the top teams, Rashford is better than all our players.
But the weight of disagreement suggests others think different, so even finances allowed, maybe not.
My view notwithstanding is that Rashford still has 2 or 3 years left at the top level. We shall see.
Someone left a copy of Das Kapital in his locker
Not when they're actively looking to replace him, and Vic is their preferred choice. All that's really saying is that they rate Vic higher, so he should be the more expensive, particularly as we aren't actively looking to sell.
Generally I agree. But a Grealish with a point to prove for a season chi be a weaponThank fuck. On huge wages and has badly lost his way at City, we need players on way up in career not down
Jermain Defoe was a lot quicker and his ball striking has a good argument for top 5 all time in Premier League history (him, Aguero, Kane are my top 3)What an irony that a poster with name of Defoe talking bad about a striker being diminutive![]()
He is 1.75m not as bad as some of the best strikers in PL in terms of height.
His ball striking is actually very good - No clue where you got that from
When I watch the video you post, thing that stands out is his linkup play and movement to get into the space and good ball striking. And now, I look at the Fbref, its essentially the same, passing is his strongest point so are his progressive carries. Something both Solanke & Richarlison lack. Goals & assits - ofcourse he has that plenty for his age and experience and time on pitch
Just think he might get eaten alive by PL defenders. No real physical superpower to lean on in tough times. Mind you I thought Evanilson looked similarly small and not that super pacey, and he did well last year.Hes quick and tricky and has a track record of scoring for a midtable side - what more do you want?
