Matthew Hoppe: A future star of the USMNT, made in the Bundesliga

Matthew Hoppe has gone from unknown American youth player to a goal-scoring U.S. international in the space of six months. All that during and thanks to one of the most difficult seasons in the long and illustrious history of his former club, Schalke.

'apparently' tried to sign him last summer. Well according to some on twitter. So a long term target (like Muniz)

I mean whist we need forwards. Also need to clam down a bit as he's still very much a 'project' Emnes.

6 career goals. 5 appearances and one assist last season. I imagine many will be hailing him as the messiah

Good write up & seems to have had a sudden burst onto the scene & taken his chance we'll.. Spain move hit a bump, though hopefully he'll find the Riverside more to his liking..

Bit of a strange one for me this - is he one for the future or being seen as going straight in to the first eleven

I think this is a very interesting one and could prove to be a very shrewd acquisition.
Afterall, he was all set to become Sunderland’s very own Harry Kane…. Honestly, who writes this shyte

Sunderland could land their own Harry Kane in Matthew Hoppe

Sunderland could land their own version of Harry Kane in a deal for Matthew Hoppe.

Whilst I understand how recruitment works. I find it 'strange' that Muniz and Hoppe were apparently targets last summer under warnock (or recommended to him)

So now recommended to Wilder who 'thinks' both forwards are also what Boro want / need?

Funny how two different managers are being offered the same 2 forwards. That's despite totally different styles.

 

[Jr. SkinnyLegs]

He's 21 so let's hope he comes good and we can earn a profit on him at some point. I'm just glad to see us not go after some old guys like Dwight Gayle for example

 

[Oooo]

not bothered about the profit, I want goals and more goals

Wilder said about Steffen that he liked the attitude of American sports people, with any luck Hoppe will have the same play & train to win mentality..

 

[sambaDTR]

Wants to play in the World Cup so will be fired up. The way to get to Qatar is goals, goals, goals.

I Hoppe he's good.

 

[Block21]

Well I can say is good luck to the lad and welcome to the Boro

No idea what to expect from this signing, just hope isn't another weak striker who's easy to push off the ball.

All strikers we've been linked with this time around have been units.. Hoppe is 6'4" as is the Norwegian lad.

Are we just signing players with a Star Wars theme to their names then - is there a Jurgen Falcon or Lars Clones available

Only if they can have BB-8 on the back of their shirts!

Admittedly I’ve only ever seen him play for the US, but (at the time) he seemed of a decent standard.

CW probably saw how ineffective Connolly was last year.
