That was a real ruthless striker’s goal tonight.

Yep. You can see he's gonna score all sorts of goals for us, but, what I'd love to see, more than anything else from him, is a 1 yard tap in

Whenever I am tempted to display impatience in the future, I'm going to try to bring to mind those on here who wanted to sign Brereton Diaz and the like.

Scamacca had one chance and buried it.

Bloody hell how good is he? Finishing, hold up, touches, link-up, movement, aerial prowess, intelligence and works hard.

He’s even good looking because of course.
A huge step up for us, this bloke

Hopefully he’s here for many years

intelligent ball from Paqueta, but not great. Scamacca's first touch made the entire thing possible.

anything less than perfect and it's no goal.

watch it again.

Good question.

How many goals does he have now?

Must be on target for 20 plus in all comps.

I bloody love this bloke already. Almost to the point where at 44 I might buy a replica shirt and get his name and number on the back. Man crush :heart:

Antonio has never been a natural goal scorer like Scamacca.

And I know Antonio gets a lot of abuse for that, but he offers so much more to the team than goals, and having him in and around the squad, offering something different to Scamacca, will be a great option for us this season and possibly next.

The geezer loves an ear cupping celebration. Everytime I see it, I imagine Allardyce getting all excited at the sight.

I like to think it's because he loves the sound of our fans going bananas whenever he scores. An usual celebration but I'm all ears to see more... :ear: :five:

Incidentally, he really does need a chant tout suite to go with it, so to really make him feel all fuzzy inside. The long winded one doing the rounds aint really taking off. I'd go for the seven nation army one for now.

He’s a class act, no doubt about it. Has everything a top striker needs and injury permitting will be on 20 goals at the end of the season. Love the bloke already.

I agree.
But, in the 7 windows since we sold him we've signed 3 strikers, Haller, ajeti and Scamacca, so not much to compare!
