I do think that Tom’s personal style is some of the most genuine and unique. I think Dom is impressed by that and mostly following suit. He buys what he sees while Tom is a bit more intuitive and clever. I work in the arts, not too far from where these pictures were taken (SoHo - I’m a few blocks south in TriBeCa) and often encounter the monied types with no style, lol, so seeing how footballers dress feels commonplace now.

Hafnia Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 What's he worth in this market??? He's effectively cemented a selection in Southgates squad with that performance today. That was possibly the best all round centre forwards display we've had since Saha in 2011 vs Blackpool. He doesn't have Sahas finishing prowess but he showed his footballing ability, intelligence and touch out there. More impressively he capped it off with his usual lung busting work rate. Got fans from the likes of Chelsea and man United wanting their club to sign him. Good on the lad, he's worked hard for this.

It's also no surprise that Mason Holgate is the same age and also blossoming as a regular starter. Edit. I used to always call him shite and then he'd go and score. I've been calling him shite every week. It's working great Fucking dreadful player hope he never starts again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got fans from the likes of Chelsea and man United wanting their club to sign him. Good on the lad, he's worked hard for this. I pushed as hard as anyone for DCL to be given a chance at the start of season and it’s not to get some acknowledgment from others now. More to get a bit of understanding for when I say I want him to get even better. Glad he scored today and it rewards his hard work but I really want to see him work on his body shape when finishing. He is always looking to turn and get in behind, definitely has the pace for it as we’ve seen. Needs to become more natural at opening his body up and side footing/passing it in. His 1v1 today he went with the outside of the foot and got little power - once he adds a little bit more composure and finesse with shooting/dribbling he will have every attribute he needs. Absolutely delighted for him and the seasons he’s having but I don’t want him to settle for this when his ceiling is still so much higher.

I’m actually agreeing with you, he’s the complete forward. Calling him a striker isn’t doing him justice I see your point... Sharpe wasn't a natural finisher and DCL isn't as good as him in that area. He needs to work on his ball striking. I think my whole argument when we had Rom was that he presented a false economy... his personal goal record belied the performance of the team. It was great to have a player who could slot when 1 on 1 with the keeper or finished a loose ball in the box but many were confusing goals with performances. I said at the time I would sacrifice Rom for a player who scores half as mulch but offers twice as much in the other areas..... looks like with got a player who scores 1/3 less and offers 3 x more. Rom would be one of the best options out there for a prem club like Man City who could afford to have an expensive bench option to come on with 20 minutes to break a deadlock against tired defenders. At the moment there are few players I would swap DCL with... he is making a name for himself and fully deserves all the plaudits.
