I've barely seen anything of him beyond YouTube clips but he seems to have real physicality, a decent touch and genuine pace. Seems an exciting gamble.

On the contrary it’s actually ever increasing
Can't be any more dismissive than some on here.
This is the weirdest thing. Negotiate for weeks, decide to bid 50M+10M on Thursday and raise it to 75M+10M two days later...
Great to see this is done.
Hopefully we can sign Amrabat in first 10 days of August so he can be in squad for Wolves. And a reserve GK I guess.

We don’t know what the fee is yet because there are conflicting reports, so assume the worst however I do know that add one for wining Balon D’or and CL should never be included in annual transfer fees as they are purely hypothetical values just like the £57.6m reported for Antony Martial which we never ever paid !People now posting what they think is the fee rather than accepting what actually the fee is
The amount of people in here who are so obsessed with the cost of a player. Embarrassing.
It's not your money. We keep overpaying for players, but we often seem to get the players we want, so why is it that big of a deal? Are you worried that Alan from work who is a Liverpool fan is going to give you stick every day for overpaying for a player who doesn't live up to expectations?

Ah apologies, I've fallen into the £/€ trap now! That's still a fair bit more than £77m that Jackson is apparently saying.
timing was about right....Atalanta announce the signing of El Bilal Toure and within a few hours the announcement is made of the agreement to sell Hojlund to United
Wow 96 million. He must be an incredible player and I guess that cements united as challengers and co- favorites
Tom Heaton and M Kovar are more than adequate as number 2 and Number 3 this season.
Good point.
At the end of the day what's important is Hojlund, Mount and Onana have all been reliably reported as ten Hag's top targets so getting the managers top targets in is more important than winning the transfer window in fans'/pundits minds.
9 in 32 is hardly great. I was thinking someone might suggest he wasn't always starting, they were big, important goals etc.
Yaaaay we have a striker!
Yeah, agree with that actually.
Your maths is worse than mine!
64 + 8 = £72 mil, that's one whole Sancho I think.
In all seriousness, I have literally no idea how good/bad this dude is so will reserve judgement on him.
Seems a fair price to me. Don't get the negativity on that.
Holy shit the negativity is insane in this thread. We probably need to stop buying players until there is an official poll on the Caf approving the fee.
The Oshimen fee was inflated, there is no way Napoli or Lille actually thought the 4 players going the other way were worth €20m.
It's about spotting young talent and nurturing it, not buying someone who already has won a Golden Boot. It's a gamble. Hopefully a good one, but it will take time.
Delighted we got it done. We've been ripped off but with the striker market there was no choice
I like your style very much.What's Ben Jacobs saying now thought it was early next week,I would check but he's blocked me off twitterfanny
He won't be regardless of whether or not you think that's the way it should be. People always judge big fee players more harshly. That's nothing new. Almost always makes it more difficult for the player to justify the fee also, particularly when the player is young.
I’m personally just a bit concerned that they were our manager’s top targets at all.
Spoken like someone that has no clue about Onana being free last year. Just an FYI he agreed to join Inter in January months before ETH was hired.
A bargain in this market no doubt.
Very excited about this signing
Yeah especially when you read from two of the most reliable journos that Atalanta were wanting €100m.
Stop wumming.
Kid has huge pressure on him.
At least you're honest.
You work for them now?
The fact of the matter is that you cannot find a single young high potential centre forward in Europe these days that would move for less than £60m. This is the going rate now. Deal with it.
I have a very good feeling about this one. Think he’ll be a star for us.
I hope you are right but I don’t think so many reputable journos are getting it wrong. Simon stone, Orny, Di marzio are all saying the same thing. £64m + £8m
I hope this guy is good. I hope he is the answer. A danish millennial Ole reboot. That would be sweet.
This is just silly reasoning. Porto signed a better striker for €7m this very summer.
Seems like the going rate for an up and coming striker these days so not too concerned about the price being paid.
Apart from Kane, who would be asking for £400k pw who else is out there and actually attainable?

Thanks for turning down presumably many lucrative sporting director jobs to post on here for free.
