True but still not worth Nunez like money
Read a theory yesterday saying the club are putting/briefing those sorts of figures out (local Italian media not quoting anything near that price) as a means of delaying the deal a little as they don’t really have much cash at the moment.
What do the Italians report say about his valuation?
I honestly think he will. People forget he's moved 3 clubs in like 3 transfer windows and now that he's settled in Atalanta, has 6 goals in 6 games for Denmark, he'll start to tear it up pretty soon
I believe that the valuation was more around 60mill euros or thereabouts with some potential addons
Do you think he's better prospect than Kolo-Muani
Thanks. I still feel that's a bit too much, really. €45m + addons seem fair to me. But we need a striker regardless, and he has massive potential so if that's what's required to get him then so be it.
I wouldn't say a better prospect... I think they are both good prospects but I think Hojlund is the type of profile we need more in a striker than Kolo Muani personally and I believe if you want to talk about the kind of forward ETH likes in his system, if you look at Ajax as an example, Hojlund fits that type more than Kolo Muani.
Not to say i wouldn't want Kolo Muani, but he's 4 years older than Hojlund too and it's everybit as possible that by the time Hojlund hits 24 he will be a better player than Kolo Muani is at the same age
Agree.
Could be some sort of delay tactic I guess, but still struggling to see what benefit that has.
Think that’s exactly what they’re doing.
Could live without getting Kane if we had the money to sign both but that's impossible,however do feel we should try and get this Taremi to support one of them
I wouldn't be surprised if they really really don't want to let go of the idea of a Kane/Osimhen type buy just yet, so putting this on ice a little they can be absolutely sure whether they can do a deal with someone of that type or not, what's being reported is probably games/noise to try and bait people out.
I don't think we'll have much joy though, especially without any reports of players being sold
Absolutely we should buy an older striker to play with someone like Hojlund or Kolo Muani if we get them... however we also have to consider the possibility that we really just cannot get Martial off the books this season, because who's going to want to buy him, and so we use him for another season might be what happens too
Would that not encourage Atlanta to just push the price up? Us messing around and saying the price is way higher than it is? Surely a terrible tactic to stall for time? Pleading poverty would surely be more effective
Maybe they're putting the feelers out for what they would pay for a top striker - ie Kane, but I agree I don't think it will bear much fruit if that is the plan.
Other option is Dembele on a free as older one
Delaying for what?
This tweet here explains why i would prefer Hojlund by the way, he tends to play more to the sides alot more as opposed to being a box threat like Hojlund is
Potentially, but that's what I mean why I'm finding it all a bit strange as I don't understand the angle.
Exactly - and we have players like Rashford for that.
It’s weird, it makes everyone look bad
Muani missed his World Cup hero moment right at the last minute of the Final. He proved he was a bottler on big stages.
Come on that can happen to anyone,however if he is more of a wide forward then sounds like Hojlund fits us better
I do not want another wide forward!
Not even if we had say Taremi down the middle and wanted another option to Rashford
How would you lot compare this fellow ne Ferguson from Brighton as far talent / potential?
Stop being a clubcist!
Pretty hard to say both early in their careers, Ferguson is only 18 but clearly has made an impression. Would take either one of them to be honest, but believe Hojlund to be more gettable for clubs within the next few years whereas I think Ferguson is better suited to staying at Brighton for another 2/3 years at least and I reckon he will probably see it that way too.
Kane is 100 plus mate. But agreed £86M for an unproven player is a joke. But knowing our shambles of a board we will probably pay
I said in my post mate. We are pretty short on cash at the moment.
Utter nonsense.
How daftNo, I mean how do we solve that problem?
There will be money coming in soon.
Check Kanes passing stats from his loan spells at Norwich and Leicester. You’ll laugh. Now he’s the best playmaker striker in the world.
Yep. We are.
Nunez wasn’t worth Nunez like money either but my point is this guy is more promising than Nunez for me.
I mean it’s all pointless because we aren’t spending 80m on him but if we get him for 50 I’ll be happy
