Did you mean Palace on 18th
Feck any training just get him here for Saturday to take some attacking option pressure off Garnacho
I actually meant Arsenal, for some reason thought we're playing them on 18th. But if it's vs Palace then yeah, for Palace game.
He needs 4 goals until end of season to offer better value for money than Ronaldo. The bar is set very low. If he gets us 4-5 goals that would be great
I look forward to see him play for us. Perfect signing.
Like my post above just said I wish we could get him here sooner,if we were showing Felix like urgency it could be possible
I sort of see him as our Wood. Brought in to fill a short term need, if he does OK and is still here next season then he hopefully becomes more of a squad player, like Wood at Newcastle now that Wilson is fit and they have bought Isak.
Think he could be a great choice given the alternatives. He's a true centre-forward, obviously a threat in the air and presumably pretty handy at interplay. He was also basically a 1 in 2 striker in the Bundesliga.
He is, however, the polar opposite of Martial. So worry slightly about the team developing patterns and what not if one striker wants it into feet and behind and the other in the air. I still think about how we used to just give up when Fellaini got moved forwards and every player on the pitch forgot how to pass it on the floor, instead became hoof-merchants.
Cheeky of Besiktas getting some cash, but it's less than what we've already saved on Ronnie's wages, so can't complain too much.

I think it’s a bit of disservice to Weghorst by drawing parallels to Ighalo.
Ighalo was basically 3 years into Chinese football when he came here on loan, and has since relocated to Saudi. Weghorst is still in European football and has been decent everywhere he’s been in Europe bar the 4 month stint he had in a Burnley side that had ran its race before he got there.

He's here to be a squad player and to help relieve the massive burden being placed on Martial and Rashford in particular. If he does well I don't see why he can't be a good squad player next season too.
I get the sense some here are thinking he's a lot more than this and that we're going to be lining up with him for years to come
. I'm sure you'll get your Harry Kane level super signing in the summer, don't worry

We all know EtH likes a big lump up front. It’ll be Martial coming off the bench more than the other way roundHe's here to be a squad player and to help relieve the massive burden being placed on Martial and Rashford in particular.

In terms of ability, he's a horst of another color, compared to Ronaldo. I think he'll do quite well for us.
I wonder if a rejuvenated Sancho could get the kind of understanding and link up he had a Dortmund with Haaland with Wout. Would be killer!
Yeah he would become a squad player once we get a Kane/Osimhen/Vlahovic
Good points. I think he will be ok for us.
This game is why we need someone. We’re an injury or two away from playing Elanga up front. It makes a lot of sense.
And it’s been true for 4 and a half
That's amazing description of Dutch!More productive than most of what’s going on here
Are you from Limburg? Brabant? I’m trying to imagine how Ferry Bouman would say Wout Weghorst. I’ve mostly been in East-to-West myself, which gives me the very prejudiced feel that Eastern Dutch sounds uptight and rural, Amsterdam/Rotterdam sounds ‘normal’ (which to a non-Dutch-speaker really doesn’t say much), South Dutch sounds abit drunk, and Vlaams sounds like an awakening zombie coughing through two inches of soil. All in all, Dutch is my favourite language to almost understand.
Yeah, Brabant - one of your drunk areas.
Of course, to me, that sounds normal while places like Amsterdam and Rotterdam have throat issues (alongside a hideous r), but eh! That webpage you quoted gives itself away by saying the g sounds like clearing your throat though (or however they put it exactly), cause that's very western.Anyway!
Frustrating we couldn't get it done for Saturday
Wait a second, is this a discussion how to pronounce Wout? Or Weghorst? Or both?
At 5:17 Gullit pronounces Weghorst. At 6:16 Mulder and Gullit pronounce Weghorst. Mulder is from the East of the country. 8:07 the presenter pronounces Weghorst.
He should be able to make use of great balls from Case, Eriksen, Antony. I just hope we don't become too predictable as a team, I doubt ETH will let it happen but we saw with Ronaldo how we funneled everything to him. We have many options and are quite dynamic now. It can be tempting to hit too many long balls to a tall target man from the defensive positions.
Hopefully and the same goes for Antony. Him and Haller were sensational together at Ajax under ETH himself.
Sounds promising!
Why have all the shit puns/songs stopped?
Meet Wout Weghorst
He's our Loanee
Came from Burnley

not the worst transfer to do in this situation. awout time we got a system player who can finally get us play the football we need, even as an individual, we can upgrade, but lets leave that for the summer..
even a few months ago I would have been against something like this, but ETH has been so quick to make me trust him 100% that I'm fine with this.
If EtH wanted a front three of Weghorst, Arnautovic and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who am I to argue
Guy from Walsall just on Talkshite mocking the Weghorst signing,has no right to celebrate anything positive he does
Your first mistake was listening to talkshite.
Yeah mind you to be fair Cundy and Saunders have actually been quite complimentary
let people mock. i’d rather have weghorst for a small fee than nunez for 100m
there is no chance of him playing Saturday with or without Kompany doing something
To be fair, being from there they need something to keep them going.
I know but wanted to believe we could pull off a ridiculously quick deal and make it happen
I'm not sure sticking a new striker, who has been playing in Turkey, into the toughest game of the season, with no training or time to adapt to Ten hag's system, is the best the idea in the world
Yeah I know but just wanted to have a different dimension for us to call on because our bench looks meek in an attacking sense
So this looks likely to be happening then?
Yeah reckon so but as the poster replying to me just said he will need a few training sessions and adjustment time to Erik's system.
Therefore hard to see him in the team until Arsenal at earliest maybe even 1st leg of Carabao Cup Semi Final.
Is he the Dutch Peter Crouch?
