KaKa Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 9 minutes ago, Lush Vlad said: Not read it, but I did see some stats on his heading and it was impressive. I know Burnley love hoofing it up there and getting crosses in, so not sure how it translates as percentages. But I think he was first for aerial duels won, 3rd for headed shots and 2nd for headers on target. I know he's a lump, but I don't think it's like he's just an out and out target man in the mould of someone like Carroll. There is a bit more nuance to his game than that when I have seen him and I don't think he is slow for his size, by any means. I still think this will be end up being a decent enough, whilst not the most inspiring signing and I'm not as down on it as some on here. Yeah, I think he's very good in the air that's for sure, and he does seem to have really decent speed for his size too. I was referring more to his play style, in the sense that I don't think he's one that looks to drop into space and come towards the ball to link play. I think Ashley Barnes probably did more of that at Burnley, while Wood looked to stretch teams with runs in behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Also, I love how we just chucked £25m on a player and people aren't batting an eyelid, feels so counter intuitive to where we where 3 months back. If i'm right he's only our second highest transfer of all time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how much they'll be willing to spend on actual top class players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Maximin Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Continuing the ex-Bournemouth/Burnley connection and Howe’s policy of signing players with mainstream British names. Good to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picks Ritchie in every team. Wants us to sign utter shit. Good production but the underlying football brain is suss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Tifo analysis videos are a decent watch if taken with a huge pinch of salt, but the IRL videos are often insufferably pretentious and their attempts to be quirky or edgy are painful, especially that Alex bloke.
