Hojlund

ETH has not managed the youngsters well so far, so I worry about Hjojlund.

I'm not yet fully convinced Højlund even exists, and I won't be until I see him in the team

AWB?

Garnacho, had done OK, but still an impact player largely due to his pace. Has done little so far this season.

How many games is this season?

Remember our bet old man, I WANT YOU.

PAIN SUCKER

I note that Kolo Muani eventually went to PSG for a similar fee to what we paid for Hojlund. We were said to be interested in him as well, and I'd assumed the reason we opted for Hojlund was cost. KM looked like he'd be more expensive, which made sense given that he had a bigger body of work (more experience, more goals, impressed under the spotlight of the knockout rounds of the WC). Maybe wages do make some difference to the respective total costs of ownership, but it won't be anything like buying Kane. So I guess it came down to assessing Hojlund as a better profile fit. We'll see.

It might also be that Eintracht dropped their price because they'd run out of time and bids

Yeah, IOAG. I think Eintracht compromised a bit on price, while we ended up paying more for Hojlund than initially quoted when Kolo appeared a good 20m more expensive.
