Our January loans tend to work out. Sometimes so well that we extend the contract. That’s when it starts to go wrong…

So as long as nothing happens that could prevent his registration happening before Saturday, he could still be registered before Saturday. Gotcha.
We spend a lot of our games with the opposition camped in their box. Having a 6'6 shitehouse to win some headers when required can only be a good thing.
For me it's more important he's mobile enough and has good link up play, from what the stats say he is.
It gives us another option to go 4-4-2 when required also. I'm not snobby about players, i'll judge him on how he performs. If he's shite? then it's only 6 months and was a gamble.
If he's good? then we can potentially sign him long term for fairly cheap.
Better than not signing anyone, he is here on cheap and simple loan, just to tie us over the second half of the season.
Wish him all the best as a United player and hopefully he does a job for us.

Certainly did.
If it works out here we should try sign him in the summer.
I have a feeling this is going to work out quite well.
Hope he's decent with his head. A big part of Antony's game at Ajax is to swing in those delicious crosses from deep.
Wout Wout better than nowt!
He'll press more than Ronaldo without a doubt!
Come on! He wears massive shoes! Come on!

I love this
Can I get a wout wout?
Since we’re apparently skint and can’t spend even if we get bought out by a nation state, we might have little choice.
This could be a shrewd loan signing. We’ve been crying out for presence in the box for Bruno’s lobbed passes. Will also help Antony to cut in on his left and deliver. Think he’s good for at least 6-8 league goals if he plays regularly enough till the end of the season.
We can always send Elanga on loan to lower the price.
Yeah that is nonsense
Thought this was very interesting. From Atheltic.
Managed to wind up Messi and all his fanboys so welcome aboard.
Actually, I watched a few clips of him and he looks quite a poacher, staying in the box, getting his goals.
I honestly don't see Martial as a genuine LW option anymoreDisappointing that there haven't been any option to buy clauses reported in this deal. From what I had read, Besiktas had a £10m option for him. Not that Weghorst should be seen as a long term solution for us, but lets say that he bags 7 or 8 goals this season and generally performs well. An option to buy of around £12m, lets say, would be great value for money and add depth and versitility in our front line.
We could then splash on a big name signing up top this summer and suddenly have loads of quality and depth in a position where we currently have none.
LW: Rashford/Martial/Garnacho
RW: Antony/Sancho/Rashford
CF: (Vlahovic or Oshimen)/Marial/Weghorst
Looking good for a title push on all fronts
What shirt numbers are realistically available to Wout?
Anyone know what he's previous worn at other clubs?

Agree. Some of liverpools signings under klopp looked odd then were very good because the manager had a clear idea of how he wanted to use them. If nothing else we need depth and a different type of striker

He is going to be a **** figure in no time, especially after netting the winner verses arsenal
I'm quite optomistic about this signing.
He will offer us something we've missed which is An actual threat from crosses. If ETH wants him then I trust him to get the best out of him and for weghorst to give him 110%.

So eager that he's gone without his luggage or family
I think he's what we need, I think he'll do well for us and then be exactly what Burnley need next season when they're back in the prem,

Yeah but supposedly Martinez was one that he was falling out with when the the little monkey man got involved, hopefully bygones and all that.... got to say makes me smile though can just imagine Martinez squaring up to his chest
If anything I think Martinez will appreciate having another 'bastard' on the team.
Probably his knee cap
That's probably about half of Burnley's total!20 games, 2 goals, but tell me how "he has premier league experience"
15, 24, 30, 32, 35, 37
Is 7 open since it was registered already? Not sure on the rules. 11 is out there but seems they aren’t releasing it until Masons stuff is final.

Brilliant!
where is the flight tracker work? surely someone has got the link?
I'm just worried he might slow us down like Ronaldo did. At least he can press I suppose.
is there any chance he could be on the bench on Saturday or will the registration etc not be done in time. Him coming on in later stages, whether we are seeing game out, or chasing a goal would be a big lift.
We attack with speed through the wings anyway, Martial rarely carries the ball. He takes it in, turns and plays it wide then gets to the centre.
