I like signings like this: potential, but a bit of experience in a top league. Buy them before they explode and end up costing £100m plus.

Goals count doenst bother me. You’re buying potential. You only need to look at Garnacho to know he’s going to be a star, but you wouldn’t buy him based off 6 goals or whatever he’s got.

Yeah agree, much rather this type of player than a Lukaku or an ageing Cavani/Falcao/Alexis. Kane would be the exception to that I guess as we just know he’ll turn up and bang.

What happened to the lad at Salzburg that we were hot on last year? Scored the worldie in pre season against the scousers.

I don’t think Kane will happen. We needed takeover £#%&! you money for that.

Sesko Signed a pre contract agreement with Liepzig. Joins this summer, I think.

Yep.

We should be buying this lad regardless of whether we can get Kane or not imo.

Shearer scored 23 in 118 for Southampton. Awful numbers.

Exactly.

Side point: Kane should be chasing those extra 23 goals too. Sky pretending they didn’t happen because they were before 1992.

That wouldn't make sense as it's a "PL" record Kane is chasing

Greaves holds the top flight record with 357 goals and nobody is ever catching that

Trust your eyes and not the stats. Anyone watching them videos and concluding he hasn’t scored enough goals yet need their heads (eyes) testing.

This kid has huge potential for less that we paid for fred. Sign him up.

It’s a continuation of the same thing though. He seems to be the only player whose goals are separated the inception of the premier league. They should at least acknowledge it. It’s always 260 goals. No acknowledgment that’s there’s more top flight goals for another team.

weghorst must be the worst tall person in the air ever. it's almost impossible to be that bad without actually trying.

Fast, tall, can play with his back to goal and actually challenge for and hold the ball up, got a striker's instinct in the box, can pass and dribble, man united fan... £45m...

We'd be mad not to buy this kid.

Not often we agree, but you’re absolutely spot on there.

"Tall and tan and young and lovely
The boy from Copenhagen goes scoring
And when he scores, each one he scores
Goes...." naaah.
