So Besiktas want to be compensated for him. were we compensated by Newcastle when they cancelled his loan spell with us?

The Mirror claims we became interested in him after he "impressed" at the World Cup. I can't even remember hearing his name!

I don’t have a big issue with the signing considering the situation Ronaldo left us in. I do have an issue with us not having it ready to go on January 1st. We’ve had the Everton game, Charlton on Tuesday, Palace next week. All games where we could have used a back up striker.

Maybe I’m being harsh as plans changed a lot after the Ronaldo interview, but it feels like a month and a half is plenty of time to get something ready.
I guess it's not easy but I tend to agree with you

He scored 2 late goals for Holland to make it 2-2 and take eventual Champions Argentina to extra time

Looks a handful

You didn't watch his two goals in the knockout game vs Argentina then?

Probably would have done well in the second half of the Sociedad game, even if I wanted to put bleach in my eyes by the end of it.

We all love United
Would anyone object to a potential cheap and permanent deal? Player desperately wants to play for us and wouldn’t mind a rotation role in the squad

Similar height to Haaland, better presser, much more experienced, has scored in the world cup so has delivered on a bigger stage - Wout is basically Haaland's future if he keeps improving. In a team with creators like ours, he'll be devastating.

Do we think he has time to pip Haaland to the golden boot this season? Or is that too unrealistic?

The bait has been set! Hehe!

6 months? more than enough... everyone knows that white text needs to be included in the same line and not in a new line.

I am absolutely excited for a striker who can hold up the play and get in the box.

feck Ogden. Because if this tweet now i am starting to think that there is a real chance to see Kane in United :drool:
There absolutely is. He will have 1 yr left. Not a guy reliant on pace. So age is less of a factor. Very very possible depending on if ETH actually wants him

Well Shake It Up Erik Now
Twist and Wout
Or maybe the Michael Zager band - lets all chant

Wout, Wout, lets all chant,
Wout, Wout, lets all chant,

Not sure if the following works well enough but:
Go Weghorst, score Weghorst, everybody lets chant Weghorst

etc....

By the way, does this Wout fella have decent pace or is he more on the slow side?

Osimhen and Sesko aren’t in Kane’s league. The lack of quality strikers is tragic.
Sesko defo is not. And i think he is hugely overrated. Osimhen is good but yeah, Kane is completely different level.
Kane, Haaland, Lewa and Benzema are highest tier of no9s at this moment. All others are at least one tier bellow

I think ETH disagrees but clearly you know better than he does.
On the contrary.
Did EtH not say a day or so ago that Martial was not able to 'take the load'
That means that his fitness is either not up to the required standard that EtH demands or he can not cope with the fixture schedule.
Either way, he can not or does not perform to the level expected by the manager.

Frustrating it takes so long. :(
Yeah especially when we are facing the top two in next two weekends, looking at the complexities of this I would say the earliest he could feature for us is probably Arsenal on 22nd, absolutely no chance for City and even Palace next Wednesday is looking a real push too.
