Gyökeres is having a truly ridiculous season. What is it? 34 G/A (24g, 10a) in 27 games so far or something like that? Don't know if he's an Ange-type striker but the man has been sensational at Sporting.we need Ange and Kulu to call Bardghji and Gyökeres next...
No i don’t follow the league but I have watched Djurgården specifically to watch Bergvall. The joys of having an iptv, can pretty much watch any league in the world. I read an article about wonder kids a while back and he was hotly tipped. That plus a friend of mine who’s actually Norwegian rather than Swedish but likes to follow the Scandi talents was raving about him so figured I’d make the effort to watch him. He lives in Turkey currently and was the guy who told me about Ada Guler long before he went to RM and tends to have a good eye. I mentioned Guler at the time on here. We’ve talked about doing a football podcast before but realistically it’s never going to happen. Also he’s an Utd fan.
I instantly thought of Berbatov when I watched a compilation, but to be honest we are probably all wrong because these videos only show a small amount. He will have his flaws as well, but certainly looks talented.
I used to be like this. Then I had kids
This is one of those signings that people clamour for because of his stats. His record in England is nowhere near that. In the championship he was close to a one in 3 striker and I would rather use that as a barometer.
I watched a fair bit of VG live last season, he was good, but not good enough for the level we need.
Honestly, no. As a Swede, I've always felt he's been an exciting player and I'm inclined to believe it has just clicked for him, rather than being a purple patch striker. It's always difficult to know how a skill set will transfer from one league to another, and I don't think he'd be a 1 in 1 striker in the Prem, but I do believe he would do very well in most, if not all, Prem clubs.
Fair play for owning that. I thought you were a bit over-dramatic with the whole "gazumped by Brentford" thing if I'm honest, so it would have been easy to stay quiet when we did pull off a promising signing.
Haha cheers! Tbh I think it stems from a misspent youth playing FM, although I don’t play anymore the bug to find the next wonderkid never really left. I work freelance so some months I have a lot of spare time to indulge in watching too much football.
Yeah, seriously insane numbers he’s putting up. I’ve read that they will be looking for 100 mil for him if they were to sell him. On a side note, Marcos Leonardo who a few of us on here really wanted already has 3 in 3 games as a sub for Benfica since joining last month. He will be the next one.
