Is today a reality check day, certainly hope not.
Always seem to lose games before international break.

Jesus Christ. What have I just read?
It's just wild.
Funnily enough, I don't think Hoijland is a bad shout. Whenever I've watched him play for Utd, I see a hard working striker who was set up to fail so much, it destroyed his self belief. He was basically starved of service and allowed to run around like a headless chicken as near to his own box as theirs. On those rare occasions he actually got fed up front, he was totally isolated and left with no choice but to try to beat 2-3 defenders.
How often did we see him get the opportunity at a clear cut chance?
Now put him in a Frank team, where he'd get regular service from both wings, with a midfield in full support and, with Xavi now in the 10, either threading the ball through to him or cutting it back to him?
He has a work rate to rival either of our strikers and, when in full flow and fully confident, will make run after run in behind.
Thinking about it, I'd be quite optimistic if we got a loan with option on Hoijland. If we managed to get him playing to his potential, we could have a monster striker.
I don't disagree.
That's it? That's your response to a reasonable comparison?
Lame.
Comparing Tel to Kane in ANY way is the antithesis of reason.
And, really, you should be locked up for it.
Savinho and a forward don't fuck with akanji now
Fans that can't look at the team without rose tinted glasses are the most annoying in sports.
I completely agree, but we won't. We spunked £65m on one last year, they'll not give up on him after a season. It'll be next season before that's corrected. Besides, the market is dry now. Sigh.
Has Kane not got a £50m release clause that’s active in January for some bizarre reason?
Not really living up to your username here. You're comparing to what Kane became, not how he was viewed by a helluva lot of fans at the same age, he got dogs abuse.
You really aren't very good at this "reasoning" you keep spouting off about.
Kane showed 5x+ the potential Tel has.
Not even close.
You're on the moon, son.
No he didn't, what the hell are you talking about?
He was always a player people had excitement and expectations for, people were comparing him to Sheringham at Tel's age.
Wonder is we can buy semenyo with cash plus Solanke as a make weight
