Just to make everyone feel better he scored a hat-trick on his league debut for Dortmund today.  :lol:

 

Imagine if we'd grabbed him in January

 

 

 

:lol: Probably would have scored three goals for the entire year.

Pardew would have publicy criticized him for not providing enough cover for Santon. He'd then have spent the rest of the season grabbing a few minutes off the bench.

Very impressed with his movement, for goals1 & 2. When he attacks the box, the off-the-ball runs aren't just straight lines. That's a nightmare for backpeddling defenders, as they mind their zones (tracking off-the-ball runs, from deep). That's the signature team movement, of how Dortmund run the channels & ultimately flood the box, when they stream forward. Goal no.2 was a great example - not alot of room (vertically) to burst away from the nearest defender, if he runs a straight line, but the variation of the run buys him some space to play with as the through ball is layed on & from there it's a regulation finish with fuck-all defensive nuisance applied. Shades of Gotse about that goal.A certain percentage of that goal was calmness in front of goal, most of it was f***ing good coaching/the assimilatiion of the kid into Dortmund's forward flood.

 

Excellent vision & awareness, to momentarily check his run & spring the line, for his 3rd.  So he's got a brain to go with his quickness & skill - way above Pardew's station/coaching.

 

What are the bookies' odds, of him topping the CL scoring charts?

33/1 at Victor.

 

Long odds at the minute. They might come into 20, or teens, if Dortmund draw an outsider (or two) in the group phase.

 

Messi is favourite at 9/4 IIRC, Ronaldo a little bit further, than everyone else was 8/1+

 

PEA doesn't take pella's either.

Remember having odds on him of 33/1 to be African cup of nations top goalscorer the other year (purely because he was quality for me on fifa) dont think anybody had actually heard of him at that point, he came joint top with 3 and he missed a penalty in the game Gabon got knocked out. Still won me a few quid so was happy in the end.

If hes available for anywhere between 10-15 mill, we will be in for him for sure. Hes been our number 1 target for a few years, and we always seem to get them eventually.

 

O rly?

Debuchy, Sisoko, Mbiwa, Cabella, Siem de Jong, Cisse, Luuk de Jong, Remy (kind of), these are all players we were linked with for years.
