My point is that how the dice had been cast (ie cheap loan deal, no buy out obligation etc) then we're focusing on a very small category of players which aren't necessarily the kind ETH would want in normal circumstances. Basically we're digging deep in the thrash can while trying to find something half decent from a very bad batch.
Wout Weghorst
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

“Talksport understands” is an oxymoron.
Wonder how many people would be up for this had it not been for those few minutes in the world cup?
I know we are a bit desperate but surely we can do better.

Still would because proved himself in Germany
ETH has been watching too many Jordan Peele movies
Get Wout!
Get Wout!
What's Bas Dost up to these days? Maybe we can team him up with Weghorst.
I get the feeling that he's got a big moment in him for us. Winner at Anfield or a cup final goal. Something like that.
He certainly didn't prove himself for a PL top club.
Go back just one year (when Burnley bought him) and its the kind of signing many complaining would have been saying was a must sign if linked by the press.
He'll do a job. Anyone expecting a starting quality striker in this window was living in cloud cuckoo land.

In a 5 month stint with Burnley? I mean, maybe but they didn't play in a way that suits strikers.
Not got a problem with Weghorst if we can’t sign anyone else. He is a grafter and knows how to score plus being Dutch is a big help to fit into EtH plans. Looked quite good in WC especially scoring twice against Argentina after coming on as sub. Only problem is I can’t see him playing 90 mins but then he may not need to.
Athletic have been sharing some of WW’s stats this morning.
At Wolfsburg he regularly topped the distance covered stats.
Even at Burnley he had 57 pressures in a single game, the most in the league all season.
Why the feck wouldn’t you want a player like that?

Neither did EMCM, and he still landed moves to PSG and Bayern
Yeah probably due to Burnley's style
Ibrahimovic? Lukaku?

No, in Germany which was the topic. He didn't prove in Germany that he'd be good enough for a PL top club.
Sensible post. Probably too sensible in fact. I’m going to dribble at his silly name with the rest of the kids
I was replying to your post referring to the PL
Doesn't make much sense to compare the two.
Did a hell of a lot more than Choupo Moting with his 1 in 5 record in three seasons at Schalke, yet he's doing a job for you lot, isn't he?
On loan as cover for 4 months?
And I was replying to a post claiming he'd proven himself in Germany, to which I say, he didn't, not for the level of PL top teams.
Why not? WW showed way more in Germany than EMCM before his moves, while both weren't exactly spectacular in the PL. He would be brought in in a similar fashion to EMCM for PSG
This guy will win over some fans if we get him. That I feel positive about.
Just how fecking broke are you, it would make me wonder. Anyway I said I believe it when I see it.
Chupo Motting didn’t in the PL but has in the Bundi. All relative.
On what basis?
Making something up to justify a signing.
You might be able to say something like that about signing Kane, or Haaland, but not about this guy.
You heard of the glazers? Tight cnuts who have bled the club dry. They are selling now hence them being even more frugal.
As I said, makes no sense to find the one player which is an outlier in order to argue the point, not to mention that you can't compare the situation at PSG and Bayern to the one you're currently in.
The Bundesliga is abit sh*t though, isnt it. Hehehehe
You're funnyI know you're baiting, but it has to be kept in mind, especially when looking at a striker who is used to dominate physically in Germany. Might not get to do that in the PL
Do you think he'll improve Us ?
There’s other outliers.
Just because a player doesn’t fit at one club one season doesn’t preclude them from doing well or being a good signing elsewhere
Nope.
Ah, I see.
Can't wait to see us with a proper 9 up top.
What situation are we in?
Yeah, the summer window can't come soon enough.
Yeah I mean that's true on paper. Still I think Weghorst would be an underwhelming, to put it midly, or horrible, to put it bluntly, signing for you.
