I think its between Sorleth and Hugill and I'd prefere Sorleth. More of a risk but greater potential and younger so more developability.

Hugill is awful in my opinion and factor in his age not worthwhile. Sørloth has potential and he is great.

I follow the Danish League, Serie A and PL closely and even the championship abit. I think Sørloth has what it takes to be a striker in PL.

The Danish league has become stronger and it is filled with young talents, those talens often went to clubs in the Netherlands (like Ajax etc) for almost nothing, then to be sold for 10-20 million £ by Ajax, nowadays clubs in Denmark will just sell directly to larger leagues and thus get the prices clubs like Ajax would have gotten.

I am certain your opinion would be difference if he was a Ajax starter and their most valued player, the fact is times how shifted abit and not all talents with huge potential goes to middle clubs before hitting the big road.

Another thing you might factor in is that Danish teams often play in Europe (both EL and CL) FC Midtjylland have beaten clubs like Southampton over 2 matches and won a match against Man U in recent times.

Exactly what we need for backup striker.

Now tell me we're still going to buy a first team striker to play alongside/compete with Benteke. Because this is not enough on its own.

That is worthy of a thread in itself.

Do Premier League clubs have experts in analysing players and if so why do they buy so many duds? Are we any different to the other Premiership clubs in our ability to find talent and sign it?

Clubs use extensive analysing of players and some even take it to the next level. Brentford and FC Midtjylland use smartodds IE and I have some knowledge about the system. You can't use it alone, but it can give you vital information and everything is taken into account.

But we are talking about humans here and humans are full of flaws. Not everyone is cut out for PL, just as not all might be able to play in the Spanish league, even if they are worldclass.. With Sørloth you have a striker that has all you need in PL and the potential to become not just great but outstanding.

But there are never any guarantee about anything.
