Pressing monster. Can hold the ball and create space for others. So even if he has a weaker day in terms of finishing, he won't be useless. He also offers something different. A perfect 6 month loan.

He’s exactly an ETH type of target man. If he can cause a bit of hassle, good in the air and bring others into play, then as a short term option he can sit on the bench. Or would you rather have the Cameroon lad who has scored 4 goals in the desert
5 clubs and 1 loan in 10 years makes him a journeyman?
He’s a lot better, and more suited to what we need than the like of Morata, Memphis, Aboubakar etc.
Laugh all you like, seen the state of your lot?
He'd probably start for you and score you some much needed goals.
Anti-vax dipshit. 6'6" but shite in the air, slow but weirdly good on the deck and winning the ball back.
Is he actually shite in the air?
I’d rather sign Weghorst than be in the complete, utter mess you guys are in all over the park.
A better option than Aboubakar but still, how fecking underwhelming. Can't wait to have new owners.
Only watched about 5 games of his but yes, it appeared so.
Can’t we just try to get Cavani back
With Besiktas having a buy option, this would need to be approved by them, right? Not sure why they would do it given the above. Seems to be a core player for them.
Why on gods green earth would we or he want that. He’ll play 3 games.
I wish the glazers would feck off already.
I don’t but I don’t want this guy either.
While I admire the people trying to remain optimistic & put a positive spin on this, the brutal reality is we’re bringing in a player who wasn’t good enough for a relegated Burnley side less then 12 months ago. That’s the level we’re scrambling around at. It’s an absolute disgrace that the glazers have bought the club to this. The day they finally feck off cannot come soon enough.
You do know this is a forum, right?
They can have buy option but player decides at the end. Football is not NBA

Oh my god, this seems to be happening!
Good point, sometimes the player has negotiated a contract and approved a buy-option — but it’s of course not a given. Would expect WW to have an option to opt out if nothing else if he didn’t like it there.
Optimistic.
Correct. They’ll probably acquiesce if 1. Weghorse plays up the fact that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for him, and (more importantly) 2. We compensate them for taking him with some sort of fee.

I'd be surprised if he outscores Mame Biram Diouf.
Looks good on YouTube and seems to have all the skills of a striker....sign him up!
Weghorst never played there.
I can't wait until the Dubai guys buy us
A 30 year old Burnley striker certainly feels right
2 goals in 1 game against Argentina.
Judging Weghorst off his Burnley days is even worse than judging Forlan off his time at United.
Lisandro says No.
The YouTuber, they'll be plenty here to hate the player enough already!
I mean you can laugh but you actually bought Aubamayang and are paying him 300k a week…
Let that sink in
dutch Peter Crouch
An absolute shithouse of a battering ram who has little ego, will do whatever it takes to win, and is fine to be an option. Allows Marcus to stay on the left and move centrally late in matches, allows Garnacho to get impactful minutes, and allows Antony and Sancho to develop slowly as needed. Martial can be babied along to accommodate his fitness.
This is filling in a gap without compromising the future. Totally fine with this.

He has pretty good numbers in Bundesliga and Turkey, awful numbers in England though.
If ten Hag wants him then bring him, he's a target man something we don't currently have. He'll surely be useful in close games against low blocks.

There is a lot of short sighted snobbery on display in this thread. 
If we bring Felix in as well as this fella I'd not complain much, but if this is it, I'm massively disappointed. I'd rather play Joe hugill
They’re such dumb, lazy comments. And this thread is full of them.
He’s a solid striker with a good goal scoring record and offers something different. We have no money to spend given the pending sale and as a 6 month loan it’s a no-brainer.
Umm,... Why is there 6 minutes added time at the 51st minute?
TBF, when you are playing in a Sean Dyche Burnley team, your numbers are never going to look that extraordinary.
