According to a friend of mine that he's a fan of both Ajax and United(please don't ask me how, I don't know...) - that's 25m euro's to the bin

His touch is better than Lukaku but he's less smart than him. It only shows me how bad the striker market is right now.

Vardy is one of the best strikers in the league.
BUT is he the striker that fits to a team that possitional game ? is he even a target man ? I don't know...

Its weird, I feel with Jonathan David Scammaca, Belotti on a free, there are more viable options.

Whitwell made a punt as a fan and suggested 34 year old Jamie Vardy. I mean, its not the worst idea in the world when you consider this guy

I think these tweets are just for fun now. Link us to any Ajax player and watch the clicks and uproar amongst the United fans desperate for their next fix.

Vardy is one of the best strikers in the league. Belotti is worth bringing in on a free for sure.

For €15m, a striker ETH is already familiar with who could be an option for this season and then a backup the following season. I don't mind it. He did well at Ajax and pretty much everyone at Leipzig was performing terribly in 1st half of the season tbf to him. Nkunku was pretty much carrying them single-handedly before they replaced Marsch with Tedesco. He's still only 20 also, so would be a long-term option.

Wouldn't be one of my first choices to be clear, but there don't seem to be many realistic alternatives atm so...

His legs are gone
They are but Whitwell made a good point in that, he wont mind his gametime being managed by Ten Hag so we wont depend on him, and he won't bring a circus about it. If he can be the difference in certain games that's all we need for a year. Remember there's Martial still hanging about too (clutching :lol:)

Yeah if not relied upon too much, it would make some sense. He also has a ridiculous scoring rate vs the top teams

I had thought he already signed for Ajax.
He hasn't yet, but they're the most advanced club for Brobbey. Leipzig have been making things more difficult for Ajax in that they're asking for a higher fee, but that's not deterring Ajax at all.

That BILD Sport article feels this way, for sure. I wouldn't take it too seriously at this time.

That's the level-headed approach, for sure, but some people are of the nature that they react to, and believe, every tweet. It's a gold minr for clicks and frenzy.

Yeah, it sucks, but I've gotten used to it. Too many people see sports journalism (and journalism in general) black or white; either they should believe everything or believe nothing at all.

Tune in next week to find out who he chose
Source:
We are already live on TyC Sports until 1900 hrs.
- Argentina national team information: we will tell you when AFA will go to CAS.
- There is an offer for Tagliafico -Lyon- but they are waiting for another one.
- Lisandro Martinez has chosen between Arsenal and Man Utd.

Now this is getting silly. Someone tell him there are players outside of Ajax.
He's signed one player, from Feyenoord. We're deep into talks about another signing, from Barcelona.

You're replying to a tweet about a third player, from Leipzig.

Wasn't the Tweet referring to the news coming up at 7 p.m. local time, or was I mistaken with the "19 HS" part?
the tv program/show last until 19hs, it started at 16. It is almost 17 hs right now (we have the same time than Argentina here).
So there is time... I am not sure I will resist so much haha, but I will leave it on and see if I pick up what they say about it

I would be surprised if he picks Arsenal over us anyway

Got it, thanks for the heads up. Hopefully he comes back and gives us another update down the line, then.

I would just assume that you aren't aware of his loan move to Ajax last year.

‘We really want you to stay, but we are also skint and need the cash. Oh, and also we can’t pay you loads of money we owe you, and want to pay you a lower salary. We really do want you to stay though’.

Yeh, the relationship being broken is hardly a surprise.

We have the revelation!

Lisandro Martinez situation:
Arsenal appeared first before Manchester Utd. They made the first formal offer. That's when Lisandro decided to take the step to the Premiership but met with Ajax's difficult position.
At that moment Man Utd and Ten Hag's call appeared (continued).

Ten Hag is the one who promoted him [in Ajax]. Logically he is going to have a tendency to go where he [i.e. ten Hag] is.
The problem is still Ajax. He wants to go to the Premier League and considers both teams but in the face of exactly the same offers I get the feeling he would choose Manchester.

That's not an opinion.
Translation with context:

If you're wondering what the "Excl:" is about in the aggregator's Tweet, it's because they came to an agreement with TheEuropeanLad to share this info.

EDIT: Basically, United just needs to match whatever Arsenal offers, and Martinez is theirs.

Very true but still promising to actually hear it from a tier 1 Barca source
