If they plant a tree tomorrow it would be a better option then Aubameyang.
Wout Weghorst

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?

6 clubs in 10 years isn't a lot?
A poor man’s Ibra. I’ll take it.
If it is to happen I just hope we get it done as early as possible so he can participate in Fa Cup 4th round tie and Carabao Cup semi-final legs (if we beat Charlton of course).
Yes a thousand times. For the right price he would let us play a different tactic when need be. Throw him on for the lest 30 mins if we need to.
Honestly, he could give us what I had hoped Ronaldo would be giving us had he accepted his role as a veteran striker who comes off the bench and offers us something different. We need that sort of balance in the squad.

In an optimal world we would get both a backup striker and a backup for Bruno, but as you've pointed out in other posts (very impressive and informative posts btw) our funds are limited to say the least. For AMC I would imagine that we could try out Sancho now that he's second choice on both LW and RW, Sancho might just come alive at AMC where he played a few times at Dortmund.
If Donny is out for the rest of the season - which is unfortunately a likely outcome - we could also recall Mejbri from his loan spell.

People were complaining about Luuk de Jong at Barca and he proved to be the perfect pinchhitter for them.
Some people need to trust the manager.
Let's give him a Wout welcome. Welcome Wout.
Weghorst is greater than victory.

I’d trust ETH judgement on this as he hasn’t missed yet.
I like it, as far as Jan options go that aren’t going to negatively impact finances/squad places for the medium/long term you won’t get much better. This guy will run through walls for ETH.
Fits the criteria. Doubt we'd take the option in the summer unless he really pulls up trees.
EtH did take the West Ham version of Haller and made him dangerous again so I trust him with this type of signing.

United seemingly want to bring him in as a free agent in the summer rather than in this month.
Be surprised if Chelsea don't take him now
Can't fault his mentality. Always works his ass off and can be a good sub to bring on.
Not gonna lie. I actually prefer this one over Thuram and Memphis. He’s an actual striker not some LW or second striker and offer something different.
He'll be fine for what we're looking for right now. Gives us something completely different.
He's a unit, he can score, we're obviously in a pinch as a club, ten Hag knows him and thinks he can get a tune from him.
We'll get bantered to hell for this, but dammit I'm in.

Easy to come up with a chant for him at least. Just replace "whoomp there it is" with his name.
It's Wankhorse so please..
He'll score for fun in a decent side
I have nothing against Weghorst, but we need more than cover. We need competition. There are no goals in our attack presently, aside from Rashford. And there’s no goals on the bench either. If Martial, Antony and Bruno were scoring with any regularity - I’d be open to Weghorst, but we need Felix now. Genuine top quality who can come in and perhaps do what Martial isn’t presently.
What’s 45 + 6?
He's very good at what he does - provide a physical presence and annoy defenders. He's also a decent passer. Maybe a proper target man is what we need. Could be interesting.
Money comes into it somewhere. Loan payment or we pay bigger % of wages I would guess.
You’re the good kind mate no worries
Not the sexiest name you'll ever hear linked and I don't want him on a perm but for a loan to make CL possible until the rats feck off, I'll take him.
I believe he'll work with EtH as well and I would love it if he scores a late shithouse winner against Farca.
I still want Felix though

Thrilled. Best signing from a team standpoint. I know he isn't the fancy toy everyone wants but he will scare the shit out of defenders.
He won't start so don't worry but if you need a route 1 option in the dying minutes he is the best .

This is the Haller/Arnautovic type of player that EtH wanted. All for this.
He’s basically Haller. And ten Hag is about to turn him into a beast like what he did to Haller. 
Quite agree. Some of the other names being thrown about might be better players, but they aren’t as close to what we need as this fellow is.
I won’t be surprised if he does; either out of choice (we’ll need to rotate with all those games coming up) or necessity (Tony made of balsa wood).
Yeah, and at different levels of football, there are so many examples of this.
Ultimately, if a team is working, has a system that is functional and in which players become better — acquisitions tend to do great. Henrik Larsson helps us a lot while SAF was still here. Since then all our stop gap signings have failed. At the same time, we have never had functional teams. A ton of signings under Mourinho and Ole busted.
I would actually be surprised if WW doesn’t turn out to be a useful squad player for ETH if we get him. We will be thin squad wise in the coming months. We don’t need him to carry the club, but to come in and put in the work, open lanes for guys like Rash, Garnacho, Antony and hopefully Sancho.
Late winner in Nou Camp or Old Trafford
It’s bizarre, but have to trust the manager knows what he is doing
What I will say, if some random poster made a thread on January 1st and said we should sign Wout Weghorst, they would be laughed at and the thread probably would have been closed.

We will keep trying to get loan fee lower but I get the impression that Atletico aren't pushovers
So the next time one of you starts posting during summer windows that 'i don't care how much it takes, just get him'' or ''the glazers are haggling over a few million?'' Or ''its not my money so I don't care''.
Now you know the extreme consequences of the 'just pay whatever it takes' approach.

What is Howard Nurse saying?
The "extreme consequences" of being in a very good position going into the second half of the season and maybe having to scrimp a bit on our backup striker option?
Prescribing something for an extreme dose of Wout
