So scoring more goals makes you a better player?
Viktor Gyökeres - Sporting Striker
- Thread starter Paolo Di Canio
- Start date
The finishing is very Ruud like. Utterly clinical
He’s going to make some people look quite silly when he makes his next move.
Hojland can absolutely finish. He's got an elite conversion rate!
Where he struggles is receiving progressive passes and getting shots off. More an issue with our system than his ability imo.
If nothing else changes, Gyökeres is a no more useful option than Hojland, or any other striker.
Lets give our current front line a go in a hopefully functional attack before we splurge on this guy
Yeah agreed, think the step up will be seamless for him
Bergkamp was shit for Inter and magical at Arsenal, the only way to know is when he becomes a premier league player.
He has scored against the big teams in Portugal and is scoring in the champions league this season as well. He is no chump.
He is a late bloomer, it happens.

I suspect some aren’t actually watching the games. He definitely passes the eye test.
i don’t think we should be spending big money on someone who sounds like food you’d get from a kebab shop.
Did you watch the Slovakia game, or Sweden's other games? Mind you that I want him at United.
The guy is made for the premier league.
I’ll take that as you have no argument then.
Thats okay, we will take him with a side of garlic fries
He has the knack for when to take on the shot - whether it's holding onto the ball a touch or two more, or taking it on early, he's shown a good understanding of the finishing moment.
I'd say it's more the prosecution rests.
It’s fine to just admit you are wrong instead of digging a deeper hole for yourself.
Think people are being really harsh with Hojlund. He’s 21 and has been unlucky with injuries making it a stop-start for him but he’s shown bits. I think he has good potential
And yet here you are.
I think the bold part is where people are failing to understand, or are just giving their opinion without actualy watching him play.
The guy is the real deal, i never wanted a player from Sporting or Benfica to leave as much as him, that's how much impact he has.
Scored more goals tonight than certain people have brain cells 
Agree but United can’t live off Potential.
You need a sure thing upfront as well.
Some posters feel a comparison can only be justified if you insult a Utd player who plays a similar position
Is it gol tv? Cause I’m pretty sure this commentator wants to have sex with Gyokeres. He is talking as if he has seen an incarnation of Maradona, R9 and Messi just grouped into one player.
I've never really watch Gykores but looking at those goals, his running style and finishing reminds me of Haaland.
Yep. I’ve never seen an announcer do anything like this. It was continuous for like 5 minutes straight.Agent Zlatan please help. We apologize and we will give Zirkzee back
Defensive clownshow, defensive clownshow, penalty, defensive clownshow.
I'd love it if there was a real argument for him being something special that didn't boil down to racking up numbers in that joke of a league.

The replays of his goals look sped up. Seems to have the physicality for the PL at least.
It’s been the entire 90 mins. I genuinely don’t understand how he has a job as an English commentator.
We should have signed this guy instead of Zirkzee.
Great to see Nani as well as Gyokeres, I presumed he had retired
Should have signed Akpom mate, he's a better player becasue he outscored him in the Championship once. Ignore him flopping in the Eredivisie.
He genuinely said this at one point: “Lsdies and gentleman, my friends, time is going. The clock is going tik tok tik tok. There is 15 mins left before the clock is done and the stadium lights will be turned off”He’s a relation I’m sure
I can’t understand him half the time
“That’s how the cookie crumbles , goodbye”
This guy needs to be on sky sports

Looking at our squad, and after looking more into his tactics. We should probably look more into Hjlumand initially. Our midfield is severely lacking quality and depth to play Amorims system to its potential. I'd even think as early as the winter window depending on his price. Gyokeres admittedly is someone I would love to have competing with Rasmus as even though they have similarities, Gyokeres is more seasoned, more clinical, and knows how to play this new system we could inherit. But I don't think he's the first signing we'd need to make.
