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?
