Not worth writing about, Borre appears to be a typical penalty box predator. He doesn’t rely on his speed or his strength any more than he does his movement and runs in behind. Most of his goals with River Plate have come from either one-v-ones or square balls from close range. He was also listed by 67HailHail as one of three ambitious pre-contract moves to make this summer.
Given how Ange Postecoglou wants to play, we could do with a striker who puts plenty of emphasis on his movement. A player who doesn’t mistime his runs and is always playing on the shoulder. Nnnnnnnnooooooottttttt him then? If Ange wants a player like that he’s got him, Leigh Griffiths. YOU seem to forget who the number one strikers were since 15/16. And both of them were French. No matter how good a player Leigh was when the board wants a player to sell then Leigh got dropped. Please read what you have put matey.
