I twas thinking the same.
He will be on pens as well surely

Read somewhere that as well as being top scorers domestically and in Europe in all competitions, we also hit the woodwork an incredible 24 times. You would think a born finisher might convert a good chuck of those as well

No; we don't want penalties. If we get one, we need to ask the ref if we can have a throw in instead.

All these extra goals we are going to be scoring lol
We will score roughly the same amount as we usually do.....most seem to think 100+ in the league is a given, be pleasantly surprised if we make 100.

It's only just sinking in for me that we've got this kid.

I'm trying not to get too giddy, but honestly, his movement and positioning and finishing in the box are as good as I've ever seen, and the fact that he's younger than Foden and Alvarez just blows my mind. This will be the first time since 17/18 that we've had an imposing figure in our box, an imposing figure in their box, and Pep Guardiola.

And that season worked out pretty well.

That’s pretty tempting

It really is. An April derby away at Kellogg’s, and he nets his 20th of the season and does that finger in his ear, pointing up celebration - right in front of the stretford end.

How much good would a good chuck chuck if a good chuck could chuck good?

Can't wait to see him in a blue shirt, but a part of me thinks there is a chance he'll need time to adapt to the best league in the world. After reading all the comments, it seems i'm the only one lol

It kinda depends on which website you are in lol. A lot of people on Twitter and YouTube think he won't fit into Pep's style of play and that Alvarez is going to adapt easier.

I'm so used to sterling Jesus Phil and Mahrez missing way easier chances that this didn't even phase me tbh

He's never going to bury every chance he gets.
If that's what people are expecting then they're going to be very disappointed.
No striker ever does.
It's impossible.

All the fanny wipers on the in match thread will go into meltdown if he misses a couple of chances.
