I know signing a young striker at this stage won't half paper over the many cracks we've seen in the squad of late, but wouldn't it just be swell to have our very own extremely talented goal-getter in the team for once? One that in a few years time could reach the heights of the phenomenal Harry Kane if we and he were real lucky?
I am once again jabbing on about Kasper Dolberg. I will do this until he's out of reach because everything screams for us to buy this lad. We are talking Eriksen-loud noises in my head too.
And then, he really does have a Kane-esque feel about him..
More or less the same build (same height, however the younger lad is about 4 kilos short). Very decent pace to burn, great upper-body strength and this ability to start runs at the exact right time. Something that's perhaps not hard to learn but very hard to master like Kane do it, and by the looks of it Dolberg too.
Look at the timing on his run for his first in the biggest derby in Holland in the weekend:
The moment he slows down a bit just outside the area, is something you rarely see. As his teammate enters the area with the ball at feet most strikers, I believe, would've increased their pace trying to get as fast as possible into the action. He's got this calmness in him, that makes him punch so well above his weight (when on form).
And then there is his natural born finishing. By Odin's Raven this boy can finish. The calmness, the awareness and the audacity of his in raw combination with a wonderful technique, makes that part of his game masterclass. He might actually be a better finisher than Kane and he's got even better technique, but whether he'll ever be as physical dominant and as dynamic and powerful as Kane, is a completely different question of course.
Watch his 1st from last years Klassieker and his brilliant 2nd from the weekend (last goal of the three in the clip), as he in both occasions chips the outrushing keeper as if he's never done anything else. The finishing skill is golden.
We really should buy this lad in January. I don't know what else to say.. we should just buy him and then play him week in week out and then.. BAM!
