Good going for his age, even when he has struggled for periods, he has been playing football and gaining experience. Feels like one more good season at AZ will get him the big move he looks ready for.

Good going for his age, even when he has struggled for periods, he has been playing football and gaining experience. Feels like one more good season at AZ will get him the big move he looks ready for.
Fourth of the season, still in the Europa League
Would hope for a couple more given they're playing Vaduz. Dutch league gets underway this weekend
And a fifth in three games now. Levski Sofia or Sabah next up
Still some clubs in Italy looking for striker, AC Milan linked with Hojlund this week. There might be a bit of interest in Troy before the end of the window
Scores inside the opening half hour of AZ's opening league game - 6 in 4 to start the season. Great stuff ahead of the September window
Troy's goals so far are a big bonus for us as you say but I'm also impressed by his hold up play in this gameQuote:

Twenty goals last season
Seven so far this season
DROPPED for the return leg against Vaduz.Quote:

Never gets old :DQuote:

He must be worth about $352 Million by now (prices based on Antonys $90 Million move from same league)
Troy is averaging a goal every 39 minutes so far this season.
Incidentally, Transfermarkt isn't particularly scientific in terms of it's player valuations, but it's nonetheless notable that on that site he's also comfortably the highest valued player in the Eredivisie outside of the traditional big three clubs in that league.

Transfermarkt had him valued at €35m before his move, which actually sounds about right for what United should have paidQuote:

Transfermarket valuations arent a great guide. Baleba valued at 40 million, Brighton want over 100 Million.
Troys predecessor at AZ was Pavledes who went to Benfica for 18 million plus add ons. In today's market that would probably mean Troy worth about 25 million, given that he's younger?
Transfermarkt is a pretty decent relative guide if you ask me but the market is so weird that they'll never be accurate as an actual guide as to a players real value. I think it was Dodge who used to say that we can have all the opinions we like but a player is only worth what a club is willing to pay for him. Assigning value now is so difficult as the market is so volatile. Even more so now with contract lengths & amoritization and PSR rules (spending constraints, homegrown exemptions, etc).
Another one for the lad.
Once again given a ridiculous amount of space in an opposition penalty area. Also once again a lovely finish regardless.
9 goals so far this season. Best form of his life. Feels like a nailed on starter for the first round of games in September.
He gets into a lot of space, top strikers tend to do thatQuote:

Nice stat from Pete O'Rourke.
I'm not sure the 23 or under stat was needed but maybe he has a better source thanQuote:

I know you're not one for hyperbole ES, but I'd go further: if Troy isn't starting in September, then Heimdal has no business managing us.Quote:

Parrott again, getting very repetitive.

He's certain to be on some clubs long lists this coming week at a minimum, with goalscoring strikers in short supply generally. May not move this window, but teams are definitely going to be considering him.
smell of benji off some of that defending.Quote:
