Pizy 19,257 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 He’s not even one of those young strikers who was scoring a silly number of goals and banging in worldie after worldie from outside of the box. He’s not a striker who dribbles past defenders for fun. He’s not particularly good in the air. I just don’t see this super talent that he’s hyped up to be.

If he does this: every so often for Manure then he might well be worth it he has bags of potential I think a fair price would have been around £55m but Manure saw fit to dump in another potential £17m to £18m to ram it through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But highlight reels on YouTube are supposed to make even average players look like beasts and I’ve watched numerous highlight videos of him and he just looks like a run of the mill striker at a small club. That striker we’re linked with from Montpellier, Elye Wahi looks MUCH more impressive to my eye than Hojlund does. And they’re the same age!

Vesper 31,050 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Manchester United agree transfer fee for Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund Man Utd agreed the deal on Saturday morning and Atalanta have briefed the fee is £64million rising to £72m. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manchester-united-transfer-hojlund-atalanta-27422278 Manchester United have agreed a £72million fee with Atalanta for striker Rasmus Hojlund. United secured an agreement on Saturday morning for £64m with £8m in add-ons. Hojlund, 20, has agreed personal terms on a five-year contract with the option of an additional year. Atalanta were still demanding £77m for Hojlund as early as this week and, although United negotiated the price down, they have caved in as they were reluctant to pay more than £60m. United have now spent £162.9m in up-front fees for Hojlund, Andre Onana and Mason Mount this summer. With add-ons, they have invested £179.2m. READ MORE: United could strengthen four other squad areas after Hojlund deal Randal Kolo Muani was identified as an alternative target but Eintracht Frankfurt valued the France international at €100m. Hojlund was identified as United’s principal striker target after the club were discouraged from bidding for Harry Kane. The Manchester Evening News revealed in May that Ten Hag had held video calls with Hojlund. United were always confident of signing the Denmark international in time for their first game of the season against Wolves on August 14. Figures at United concede Hojlund is a rough diamond and Marcus Rashford or Anthony Martial could start up front in some games to ease the pressure on the Dane. Hojlund could make his first appearance for United at Old Trafford in a friendly against Lens next Saturday. United travel to Dublin to play Athletic Bilbao the next day. Atalanta did not play Hojlund in their friendly win over Bournemouth on Saturday as they did not want to jeopardise Hojlund's transfer in case he got injured. The Italian club used nine substitutes across the 90 minutes but Hojlund - who scored nine goals in 32 Serie A games last term - was one of just three not to make it off the bench. Paris Saint-Germain tabled an offer for Hojlund this week but United always expected him to join them. Hojlund moved from Copenhagen to Sturm Graz in January 2022 for €1.8m before switching to Atalanta six months later for €17m. United have agreed a deal for €84m.

Pizy 19,257 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 While I don’t really rate ANY of the moves United have made thus far you have to hand it to them for at least going out and getting all of Ten Hag’s #1 choice targets. First choice keeper, first choice midfielder, and first choice striker (they were never getting Kane). Now they’re instantly moving on to Amrabat. Meanwhile, we’ve made a grand total of 1 senior signing intended for the first XI this summer in Nico Jackson. Nkunku was signed in January. We finished 12th, the next season starts in about 2 weeks, and we have no midfield right now. Vegetable and didi007 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finished 12th, the next season starts in about 2 weeks, and we have no midfield right now. Next season is probably another write off. All our signings are clearly aimed for the future. Even if we sign Caicedo and Kudus or whoever. Players this young are far from making an instant impact. Even if they knew the league, they still have to get used to the immense pressure, teammates, tactics etc. We are not even in for experienced players. The unwillingness to even look for an experienced GK or CB which are musts for a top 4 challenge shows that the owners want to grow this squad over years and do not really care about winning anything the next few years.

That's quite a bold stretch to call 22yo with one or actually half of season worth any attention in top 10 club under hist belt a "senior signing" 👀 Edited July 29, 2023 by Vegetable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundalf 806 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 If we get Caicedo, our starting lineup is much better than last season, way more quality. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhsc 1,139 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Nkunku, Gusto, Nicolas Jackson, Mudryk, Enzo, and way more all bought in 2023 guys, calm down. Do you know how lucky we are with the new owners and staff they’ve got in place for us now? It’s taking time but they’re clearly getting there and we will get to a good place if we are patient and let them fucking cook. By deadline day probably we will get another two senior players is my guess. No it isn’t perfect but they’ve done a pretty cracking job in my books, when you look at the overall situation. bigbluewillie and Norfolkblue1961 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundalf 806 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Enzo-Caicedo would be a much better midfield pair than Jorginho-Kovacic, especially after the CL win where they clearly declined, Nkunku-Jackson is a much better attacking pair than Havertz-Mount. Colwill is better than KK, Gusto better than Azpi, Mudryk still a better option than playing Sterling all the time like last season. mkh and Norfolkblue1961 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundalf 806 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 This was our starting lineup for the first game last season. Sterling as false 9 bc we didnt have a striker, lol Havertz and Mount on the wings, lol KK and Azpi in defense Jorginho the regista Lots of experience - look where it got us We have the same or better players in every position, not a single downgrade. Caicedo is the missing part tho to kinda replace Kante. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
