I agree with you completely. Usually you'd sign the striker in the Giroud mould before a Hojlund which is why I'm so annoyed with this transfer. It's unfair on the kid and makes us much worse as a whole with all the pressure. Keep in mind Antony is not a goal scorer and neither is Garnacho/Rashford at the minute. This signing has put a lot more needless pressure on the other attackers and Hojlund himself.Hojlund should have never been given the pressure of being the lone solution. Having Martial as your only true competition isn't inspiring for any guy. I still maintain we should have brought in an early to mid 30s well established striker along the mold of a Giroud. It would have provided so much coverage for this kid to ease in. Cutting Martial or demoting him to 3rd choice to me is almost more critical than anything else. Can't win if you don't score.
