If you wanted to build a striker, he'd be 6 foot plus, quick, strong and can finish.
    Not only that mate, his improvement has been off the scale.
    With Assombalonga you kinda know what you're gonna get.
    Zohore's link up play, finishing and basic centre forward play is unrecognizable from a year ago.

    You have to remember that he didn't have anyone to play up top with him all last season too.

    He linked up great with the lad who played off him for Denmark vs Czech. I'm hoping he can nurture similar understanding with players like Ward, Saadi, Tomlin.

    I really think he'll be even better this year and you can tell by his tweets that his confidence is through the roof at the moment.

    It is inevitable zohore has a stinking first few weeks after this summer.

    Then our fans will say we should've sold "the donkey".

    I was at Burnley in the back end of 2015/16 and you could tell there was something there. He's really raw still but he's making big strides. For me, the best game he had was against Huddersfield, he scored a great goal, got Ward sent off and then squared two passed for Bennett to score. It was great to see him have some real composure, he's starting to score the goals you think good strikers score, as opposed to the more individual efforts he scored in the early part of 2017.

    You must have been the only person on the planet who saw something in Zohore at the end of 2015/2016. Both Trollope and Warnock thought he was a waste of space up until October last year. Sounds like a bit of hindsight to me. All the fans I knew were on his back until Warnock got hold of him and read him the riot act , since when he has never looked back. Warnock must take most of the credit for this. All this selling Zohore nonsense now is mainly media talk backed up by so called fans who like to stir up trouble. The club and Warnock have unequivocally stated that he is not for sale, the player is happy here as well. Why the hell would he want to sign for Hull ? - smaller club, smaller stadium, poorer manager with no championship experience and getting rid of their best players.

    You are of course correct. Some ccfc fans live in lala land im afraid. What is more worrying is that these so called fans would take some satisfaction if we did get 20m just to prove a point!!

    There are some other fans that would take satisfaction if Zohore had a shit season and didn't score any goals just to prove their point!
