I agree. That and his long gangly legs and height.
The comparison with Peter Crouch that someone else made is a fair one. Because Crouch scored a lot with his head and looked ungainly a lot of people underestimated his ability on the ground and I think the same is true of Haji.
He has...
I agree. He's looking like an absolute bargain.
I'm impressed with how quickly he has settled in, especially given that he hadn't played for five weeks when he joined us.
We ideally need another 2 or 3 quality players - one of whom will replace COH - but it's still the strongest squad we have had in a long time. In recent years we have sometimes had to make the bench up with kids or two goalkeepers and on occasion haven't had a full bench.
Onwards and upwards 👍
I suggested that a few days ago 😊 It's not ideal but I reckon MVE would make a decent fist of it. He certainly has the pace to do it.
I think the only other options are to change the formation ☹️ or possibly play Simms wide right but I'm not sure about that.
According to Wikipedia he plays as a striker or in midfield. I assume the latter means on the left wing.
I don't know where he has mainly been playing for Posh but it may not have been as a striker.
He played in the world cup but not since then. I think he has a small handful of caps.
I think he and McGuire are in the next tier down of players who are looking to get in the US team and to that extent probably see each other as rivals.
An interesting one but I think he is one of the strikers keeping Haji Wright out of the US team so I'm not sure that would work if they were also vying with each other for a place in our starting lineup.
. . . . the name's Haaland, Erling Haaland, and I play for Manchester City. With that he and his swarthy, grizzled agent with steely eyes jumped into a Ferrari and drove out of town.
