Even after everything, I think my favourite moment was him sprinting to battle and shelter the ball out by the corner flag after Murphy's point blank miss.

Surprisingly quick!

Yep, got the job done. But I really think we've missed that desire up front for a long long time...

A shame Wissa got injured as they would dovetail beautifully

[Smal]

it’s good how he can both drop deep to link play and still be a presence in the box. If we can develop him to be anywhere near Kane’s level it will be an incredible signing.

The best thing Eddie said in his post match presser was that Nick needs to work on his physicality.

 

I can see a Joelinton level remodelling of this guys physique and then, he'll be unplayable.

Woltemade the central midfielder.

I'm not sure physiology is an issue, or could it be changed much, he has a distinct build that has already worked in Bundesliga and the German national team so it's not lacking.  I think it's more the intensity and physicality of the Premier league which Howe is referring to and that will be acquired on the training ground and through playing rather than in the gym.

When you're that tall it's almost impossible to be fit and look big TBH, you'd need to be a serious weightlifter and eat 1000s of calories a day.

From the clips it looked like he avoided physical contact. At that size you shouldn’t avoid physical contact and use yours as a weapon.  Didn’t avoid it from what you saw on the weekend though and he won a lot of his physical duels.  
 

Crouch was skinny his entire career but would use his physicality to hold off defenders with his arms. You want to be able to put the ball onto Nicks chest/feet and it stick with a defender up his bum.

Well, I think it depends. If he's class at dropping away from defenders and dragging them out of position, getting the ball into feet etc then I don't mind him focusing on that. 

 

Of course the more strings to the bow, the better.

His tackle on the left wing that resulted in the shot that was just wide from Murphy too.

Would still like the ability to do that 10 yards up.

Anyone seen an "all woltemade' touches" video? 

[Menace]

Just read the athletic article on him - sounds like a brilliant chap.

FWIW he's listed at 6'6" 198. 

Dan Burn is listed at 6'6" 192.

How long did it take Eddie to turn the rat into a world class striker, 2 seasons?, i reckon he will do it in half the time with this lad.

He's slightly shorter than burn based off photos and videos.

Lush technique from Murphy.

Still not sure how he got so much power on the header when he was jumping backwards to meet it.

It had to travel deep into his forever frown before bouncing back.

It's amazing how we can unearth these unknown talents like, uh, the guy who was chased by Bayern Munich for months and is the current striker for the German national team.
