Another striker who can't score goals. Just what we need.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

There's always a serious lack of imagination in the targets United pursue.
kind of get numb to this shit type player that nobody wants - sigh
Was there not a thread made by a poster Timo Werner would be a great signing in the past few months or maybe it was just a post

United are furthest ahead in their interest in Javi Guerra. Juventus is a distant second to them as they are unable to afford him, whilst the other clubs are merely monitoring the player's situation and not necessarily interested in signing him.

Nice, believe we were linked somewhere with Federico Redondo as well - midfield of giants. It would show that we clearly want someone in midfield with McTominay's/Amrabaat physical nature/stature.
Regarding Redondo, those links are coming from TEAMTalk, so I wouldn't pay much attention to them at this time.
Ah ok, yeah, it was a passing tweet I saw rather than anything concrete. That's why I wasn't going to post it until anything more serious.

Yes. He should fit right in.
Why are Leipzig happy to loan Werner? Is he not playing for them? Or is he the one pushing for the move?

The push is coming from the player. Werner rarely starts for Leipzig and doesn't even get significant minutes off the bench. He's probably hoping to be a starter for United given their issues up front.
I’d be legitimately angry if we bought Werner. Last sort of striker we need.
Thanks for the context. Got to say I’m surprised, I thought he would be one of their top players, playing in a team and league he knows well. It doesn’t fill me with much confidence that he can come here and be better for us than he was for Chelsea.
No, he's not a starter and he has 2 league goals this season
Thanks, a bit worrying…
To add on, César Luis Merlo, who's reliable, went onto TyC Sports to talk about Federico Redondo. He didn't mention United, but he did mention both Wolfsburg and Wolves. If he's to move, then it's not likely to be at a big club at this time.

Apparently they have an agreed transfer plan for January which the Glazers had to submit to INEOS. That would suggest there IS going to be business done.
Why the hell do they want Guirassy? They have Kane! Get lost you Munich so and so’s. Leave some strikers for the rest of Europe! Don’t make us sign Choupo, we don’t want him!
‘It’s not supposed to take till the end of the month’. Ha! It wasn’t supposed to take 2 windows to bring him here in the first place but there you go. Hurry up and wait Dortmund!
Noooo!
How is it worrying? He will fit right in

I'd take Werner until the Sumnmer as a loan signing. There is a player in there that was damaged at Chelsea.
He never played badly though, he just looked totally damaged by his form in front of goal. Maybe he could offer a decent back up to Hojlund.

The only way I’d take Werner is if it meant we let Martial go in January .
Well, that's double what Hojlund has scored so far
Quality player and would probably be a hit in the P.L - so let's exclude him right away...he doesn't fit our profile

Why should Werner be any good idea? He is heavily limited, has flopped at Chelsea, would primarily be effective as a LW in our system, has been pretty bad this season, etc. Even for free or on loan we could get better suited players.
So we are not after Solanke or Joao Pedro, but we are keen on getting Werner now and this weird overpriced guy from Valencia in the summer.
Makes sense.
Makes sense.
Why are you comparing a loan-striker which is available here and now with 2 players who both will cost more than £50 million in the summer ?
Our scouts still playing FM20.
Tbh, since it'll be a 6-month loan, I'd be up for whoever. Choupo-Moting as well. We need options up front, and ideally someone who will also score some actual goals.
He couldn't hit a barn door while he was here with Chelsea and hasn't since been impressive for Leipzig in, arguably, the most open league in Europe for attackers.
But he's going to fix some of our offensive issues?
What is it with this club.

A quicker Weghorst.
