Through balls from midfield... all a bit alien for us.
That is NOT the same Scott Hogan we have signed. There must've been a mix up at the hospital.

same player just this is a team that creates
I know really

I thought the initial fee for SH was £9m.

As he hasn't exactly scored a shitload of goals and we haven't been promoted yet, presumably we haven't had to pay any extras, as I write.

We have so many options, a real embarrassment of riches but there's nothing to stop us at least at home playing 4-3-3 with a front line of Hogan, Davis and Kodja supported my a midfield of Jedi or Whelan protecting the back line with two runners in front, Houriane and Onomah.

I don't think that would work - there's absolutely no width there which would allow the opposition to stifle us much too easily when we're attacking and would leave our fullbacks horribly exposed when the opposition is attacking.

Hogan needs to play in a front two.  Ideally it would be Hogan and Davies up top, with Kodjia left and Albert right.  Then Whelan plus Onomah/Hourihane/Lansbury in the middle with licence to push forward.  I am absolutely certain based on zero managerial experience that that team would smash the living daylights out of every other team in this division.

I think right style of play hogan will score many. A cross between Jamie vardy and shane long.
I don't think Bruce plays to Hogan abilities.
Kodija already showed his impact on how he's distracting and troubling defenders with his play. Hogan is a useful impact sub at this moment.

He wasn't too interested in playing for Ireland not too long ago. The cynic in me is a little sceptical of Scotty (Sean) Hogans motives here.

Out of interest what is the Irish heritage and thus link for his eligibility
