Great signing, but my god that interview is bad, had to turn it off after 20 seconds. At least he drops his aitches, which gives him a good start in Yorks.

Why have they shown a picture of Kachunga when announcing Mouniè? 😉 Thought it was Van la Parra, or maybe Williams again. This ageing thing, eh?

I thought the interview was a good one, loved how he referred to the "ambience" at the stadium.

Ive got a major event coming up and have purchased a blue suit but need my shoes, I was going to buy brown but after people have mocked that lad we are supposedly signing im not sure. Should I buy brown or black? Always wear what you personally think looks good with that particular outfit, both colours work. Never follow fashion 'rules', they are just artificial nonsense. Always dress to your own style, rather than what current fashion dictates and you won't go far wrong. Well thank you for that advice went to work in my little black dress didn't realise my balls were sticking out the bottom got a right kicking 🤣🤣

Just another thing I like about our coaching staff. They really do seem to pick up on what we see on the field. In the past we've signed players who have been OK but sometimes you wonder if they are really addressing what are clear weaknesses in the team. We could all see that we werent very competitive in the air last season and they have clearly targeted (and been successful in signing) players with good stats for their heading ability. Not rocket science but encouraging to see issues being quickly addressed. I'm going the other way down the field now now and beginning to wonder if we shouldnt be looking at one or two defenders to bolster up what we already have if the budget allows?

They'll have to aim two foot higher now though instead of little Nahki they've these two beasts to aim for in Depoitre or Mounie Looks like Boothy with wings! If he progresses on the deck then who knows. We may have the new Drogba at Little 'ol' Hudders

Oh right, still I'd rather have a keeper who commands his box, makes saves and reads the game well than can put a ball on a sixpence from 50 yards, that's what outfield players are for Let's hope we sign one then.

I see what you're saying from a holding the ball up perspective but I'm sure I read we had one of the highest number of headed goals in the championship last year?

If I was Nahki I'd be getting a bit concerned how much game time I'd be in for next season. Wagner does like his rotation policy though so could still play a part. The new guys will take some time to get up to speed with the English game so lets just give them plenty of encouragement and no slagging off if they don't look like another Pele from the off. Strikers tend to be substituted the most though, so while he may not start all that often - he'll still play plenty. I'd be surprised if he leaves though - he'll have plenty of suitors though probably not from the Premier League and he'll be desperate to play at the top level surely.

Glad we got this one over the line, it was looking like becoming this summer's Uth/Boyd saga it was dragging on so long!

Those Illingworth and Gregory blokes are getting some right overtime in this week 😊 I didn't realise that Huddersfield Town are managed by a Modern Day WIZARD 🎩 At 5 mins into the interview talking about David Wagner style of play Steve Mounie says, The premier league "It will be good for me and good for the premier league to have a good Wizard !!! "Wagner the Good Wizard"

Think Mounié is going to have a big season. He seems to attack the ball well. This interview has unseen footage, different angles of the goals, he has scored in preseason. The header from VLP, makes me think that VLP and Mooy will get more assists this season because Mounié will make things happen in and around the 6 yard box. His dink over the keeper was class, he missed a dink in the first friendly, but this showed he has the ability. Not trying to put pressure on the lad, but less than 12-14 goals would be a failure for him because he has the talent to be a top Premier League striker.

As a successful promotion side we scored 56 goals in 46 matches the top scorer getting 12, we don't score for fun under Wagner, we have 8 fewer games and setting a goal target and talk of FAILURE if it isn't achieved is way too premature IMO! I'm sure every Town fan hopes that Mounié is a success but he has had one season at the top level in France and only 13-17 players on the planet managed more than 12-14 PL goals last season. Man Utd's top scorer got 17 last season (obviously not as good as Slapps), Liverpool's got 13! No need at all to put undo pressure (talent to be a top PL striker?) on someone who at Town has only played preseason test matches against far inferior opposition than he will face week in and and week out when we get down to the serious stuff.

No need at all to put undo pressure (talent to be a top PL striker?) on someone who at Town has only played preseason test matches against far inferior opposition than he will face week in and and week out when we get down to the serious stuff. To clear some things up, I'm talking 12-14 goals including Cup games. 12 PL and 2 Cup goals were my thoughts. Using the word failure is harsh, probably disappointed or underachieving. I don't think there is anything wrong with having expectations. I also think the lad would have his own goals set for the season, which I bet he won't share with anyone, but I also bet it's in double figures. We don't score for fun under Wagner. Let me correct that, we didn't score for fun under Wagner in the Championship with the players we had available with the Championship schedule. IMO the PL schedule is more friendly to any team not playing in Europe than the Championship. As you quite rightly pointed out, less games in the season schedule leaves more often than not playing on a weekly basis with the odd Cup game added in. Wagners high intensity game will be more sustainable in the PL. Also the teams with European games are likely to rest players or with players backing up will be more tired giving teams like Town a chance. A lot of those big teams, such as Manure, rest players or take a precaution on players who have taken a knock because of their deeper squads. A lot of people doubted Town going up(I know a lot on here believed), also they doubted DH would spend £30+m, also doubted we'd get Mooy back. Time for people to stop doubting and start believing. The team sure as hell believe. #nolimits. I wrote what I wrote because I totally believe that SM is good enough to bang in 12-14 goals this year. Anymore is a bonus.

I'm hoping he sets our front line alight and is a constant threat to PL defences in a way that we know Nahki couldn't really. His most impressive goal to date to me was one of the simplest - the one he swept in from around the penalty spot from Bunny's cross. Keeps doing that along with a thumping header every now and then - brilliant.
Lets also not forget the massive contribution he can make in defending set pieces with his aerial prowess. We look a "big" team now and we are going to need that in the PL.

It's not the dink that's the impressive part of the Barnsley goal for me, it's his starting position from when the ball is played and how much pressure he puts the CB under with his power and pace.
Being able to compete for every ball is going to put us in a good position. Especially getting hit by waves of pressure, we'll sometimes need an outball just to get a breather.
