Hojlund is already physically developed though. I wouldn't want him getting any bigger at all otherwise he becomes Lukaku.

Exactly, biggest challenge for any striker/goalscorer is to get into positions to get so many chances. He has done very well to get so many chances.
Truth be told, his first match in a United shirt will be the first minutes 99% of the cafe have ever seen him play. (myself included)
After that match the real discussions can begin...so far we are feeding off youtube scraps.

Yeah that is very true
Think the fact no Utd journos have mentioned about Sunday suggests we won't see him play until Wolves game
No its been reported the announcement is before tomorrows game.
Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Maguire totalled for 0 goals in the last year and 2 in the last 70 games. The only aerial threat he could pose is if he acquires a pilot license.
Hopefully we don't end up with any tedious viking related nonsense.
Because apparently we overpaid for Hojlund and now he needs to bulk up
he scored several own goals to be precise
I like men with big bodies
Ok, but back to football....
It’s called the ‘crossbar’.
…ok.
This was hilarious after a few beers. Thank you
For him it's just learning how to take full advantage of his body compared to others. Takes time. He might get pushed off the ball here and there at first, but he'll just get stronger on his feet, not necessarily bulking up.Hojlund is already physically developed though.

Just to be clear, I wasn't insinuating that he did. I was just picking up on the point that gymnasts weren't bulky. When a lot of them are bloody huge! But yeah, footballers in no way need to be that big. I remember Lukaku getting fecking huge for us for some reason. Way too big.
It's Friday just announce him ffs. I want some piano Alexis Sanchez kind of presentation shit.
I’m not sure how you watch that and see the negative side of it. Very good movement, great ball striking, some very good goalkeeping. His finishing still needs some polishing no doubt. He isn’t even the finished article yet but there were some very good signs in that video.
It's done. He's a United player. No need to worry. Letting the young man stroll out in front of fans at Old Trafford will be great for him. He's a United fan and it will boost his confidence for the start of the season.
True,just a bit frustrating we won't see him again until the Wolves game
Strength and power work is a significant part of a routine for professional footballer.
Hypertrophic work is not a significant part of a routine for a professional footballer.
Don't conflate them. Low volume and low rep work with high weight can render a player considerably stronger in a short period of time without even noticeable bulk added.
The only reason people sporadically urge players to bulk up is because they incorrectly assume that bulk is directly proportionate to strength gains.
It's not. This is why Saka is noticeably stronger whilst still being slight.
A player will come into the new season looking stronger in physical duels despite looking the same. That's because muscle mass increase can be minimised whilst gaining more strength.

Just to be clear, it was an entirely ironic remark.
Aye on that front he and De Gea have been a real threat.
I reckon he plays honestly at least a few minutes for fitness.
He needs time to get used to the squad.
Top strikers get into the right positions, he does.
I remember a quote in the SAF era about a player that was getting 6 chances but scoring 2 goals. He said something along the lines of they're doing everything right if they're getting 6 chances.
You can teach how to finish in shooting drills, you can't really teach positioning like that. It's why Haaland and Ronaldo are freaks of getting so many goals in a season, they're ruthless and right place right time.
Honestly Scamacca looked more exciting prior to his move to the PL and it's safe to say he's been a disaster at West Ham
Is it possible he plays this weekend or is that an absolute no chance. I know he’s not officially been announced but his medical his passed. Or does he have to wait for his visa and stuff.
If he's introduced on Saturday, there's no reason he can't get limited minutes on Sunday. None whatsoever.
He's played all pre-season with Atalanta, he's sharp and fit right now, and getting 10-15 minutes is not going to be detrimental in the slightest, either to him or the team.
So, yes, I expected he'll get some exposure in either game at some point.
Needs a haircut.
Bringing back the 90s centre parting vibes.
Nout wrong with a 90’s Gaz cut
They'll make heavy use of the blur tool during editing.
