Biniek: Ciekawy post przeczytałem na FB. Wy znacie jakiegoś snajpera z serii A, który odniósł sukces w PL?
I asked the same question, but because I stay in Nigeria, I got abused.
Former Man Utd forward Dwight Yorke has asked the same thing.
It's simple. No Serie A player has hit the ground running in the Premier League. Scamacca tried but failed.
Jovetic joined Man City from Fiorentina or Torino, can't remember, but flopped.
Balotelli flopped as well. In fact, not just their strikers, but Serie A players.
Even Romelu Lukaku rejoined Chelsea from Inter Milan I think and flopped. He flopped at Chelsea three times I think.
Rasmus Hojlund scored 15 goals in all competitions as a centre-forward, that's poor nut because that's his first season, I won't judge him for that.
Signing Zirkzee from Bologna after one "decent season" with less than 13 league goals to challenge or lineup with Hojlund in the Premier and nearly of the same age, i dont feel confident.
I've past the level where any player Man Utd want to sign, I gassed over it.
United had signed players who Man Utd hyped a lot just because Man Utd showed interest in them and they later turned out to be flops.
Zirkzee, 23 years, and Hojlund 21 years both from the Serie A, I just hope this won't turn out to be a disaster.
I can't remember any team in the Premier League that won the title with a striker they signed from Italy.
