Exciting times. Anyway, who knows if this cunt's any good, but he looks like a fun player. Highlights look like he loves playing with his back to goal, which I like.

 

The one weakness in Isak's game is that he can't really act as a target man. You can't play it long or direct to him and expect him to back into a CB and hold the ball. He's more of an elegant to-feet player. I think the cup semi final and final were pretty much the only times last year when he made any real effort to challenge opposing CBs for long balls. It means we don't have an easy out ball if we get pressed up the pitch. And as brilliant as Isak is at lots of things, that can be a problem in a one striker system.

 

This guy looks like he loves that shit, which could work to release our wingers. Plus he's clearly got some skillz [with a 'z' no less] & looks like he's prepared to mix it physically. Would be nice if we have another striker willing to play so it doesn't fall all on him though.

 

One other thing - he actually has played very few minutes, Last 2 years only about 2800 minutes in the league. It does make his scoring record look better, but then you also wonder why he made so many sub apppearences if he's such a talent? Not a huge sample size to look at.

 

Anyway, that's for another day. As my auntie used to say: 'When If in doubt, get yourself a Big Fucking German'. And we seem to have got our BFG.

Some further analysis, let’s see if I am correct

 

Cons: doesn’t look the fastest player, especially re his acceleration. Terribly one-footed, and considering his height you would expect him to score much more headers. You should have reservation re his ability to finish the chances within the penalty area 

 

 

Pros: great touch and he really polish a rare skill set nowadays: able to make full use of his body to turn. Great vision as well. I don’t expect him to dribble like Ibra as it’s just Bundesliga where every ST got spaces like an ocean, but given his skill set he does able to contribute greatly to our build up play from the back. This is something Isak able to do but Woltemade probably could do it better

 

 

I don’t think he plays like Isak or Ekitike. Instead he looks like a poor version of Kane, which probably explains why Bayern want him badly.

 

He can fit Howe’s requirement as our ST. I just don’t expect him to finish the chances and score goals more than Isak, unless he can train up his left foot finishing

BDB will learn him how to head a ball.

Romano gone to sleep on this one.

I feel like I've wasted so many hours of my summer listening to dickheads like Jacobs and Romano because it seems a lot of our signings, aside from Elanga, seem to get done without many leaks to the press and surprises everyone.

Just remembered when James Lawrence Allcott did a video with Stuntpeg rating every club's rumoured big signing and they had Woltemade as ours. At the time completely weird, never rumoured, and not at the time either, so it's canny weird that it's happened.

Interestingly, I found a Liverpool fan who made this video in June.

 

 

 

A sample of 24 shots is a bit small, but his shooting seems fine for a 23yo, much more convincing than Sesko. Still have room for improvement.

He's the best of all the YouTube era lads n lasses that talk football. Seems very knowledgeable.

Saw that clip earlier,  I'd just assumed they'd did it this evening - spooky

none from his left. That’s where I have concerns. But yeah overall the quality of attempts were good.
