Awkward on the ball strikers are the new must have toy though, so sign him.
Benjamin Sesko | Despite Raees best efforts he’s joining Liepzig. Damn you Raees

Having watched him in pre-season, I feel like I have the potential to be better than Nunez and I'm already in my 30's.
Surprising you say that. He actually looks very comfortable on the ball from what I’ve seen.
He looks genuinely good on the ball to you or the famous “good on the ball for a big man”?
I might be completely senile here, but wasn't Ruud also a little awkward on the ball?
Remember ETH wants a flexible forward. We have not really gone for any of such candidates publicly this summer. Maybe we have been working silently for a while. Everything is possible.
It’s a bit baffling, his touch is always teetering on the verge of a Lukaku-esque disaster, his weight of passing always seems a bit off, yet they somehow came off most of the time. So you are left wondering whether hes one of those players like Suarez who isnt the most refined with their skills but get the job done no matter how the opponents try to stop them, or it’s just a matter of time until they stop working and you are left with a donkey.
His attitude and work rate seemed top-notch though, without the caveat of ‘for a big man’, so that’s nice.
Not from what I recall. Do you remember that goal against Fulham? :wow:
Regardless of him being a big man, he’s more than good enough on the ball. Better than you’d think.
Not linked to him by anyone remotely reliable.
6 pages in the last 12 hours with no tier 1 link. Come on, people.
Romano said he is on a list of United targets, but they haven't done anything about it at this point
Let us muppets have fun. The FDJ issue is not close to being resolved soon and we don't have anywhere else to go.
Plus Romano has linked him to us, so that poster is just wrong.
Not linked to him by any unreliable source either. It is just a Muppet wish at this point like half life 3.
Romano has said we are aware of him, which probably means we have scouted him. We have scouted 1000s of players though.
which makes it even more impressive that we have only signed Ajax players, former Ajax players, or players who trained with Ajax. Oh and possibly de Jong who used to play for Ajax.
Malacia came from Feyenoord.
Saying a player is on a clubs list but haven’t made a move is about the safest thing you can say as a journalist.
You call it first if you get it right, if nothing happens then nobody cares.

If you're good enough, you're old enough.
Romano says everyone is 'on a list'. It's his favourite line when he doesn't have a clue.
True, still Holland though and I don’t think our “scouting dept” had a clue who he was
Ok. I heard he’s linked and I’m a tier 1 kinda guy
That's how I am sure he'll turn out great
Agree, so let's hire Woziak's GF as our head scout
Sorry but Ruud was definitely not awkward on the ball
I think Sesko has some good touches from the little I've seen though. His balance doesn't seem to be a strongsuit which makes his touch look a bit more laboured than it really is imo. I saw him show some great bits of skill in the compilation of his performance against Liverpool. Definitely a lot of talent there whether he can replicate at a higher level or not.
Ah was it, oh well.
We are in talks, but Salzburg is reluctant to sell.
Overpay if he’s genuinely the real deal. Leave him on loan there if needed too.
Ohhhhh genuine links now. Very interesting.
Good job!
Now that Laurie has linked us to him, I am getting giddy!
I know nothing about this guy, but I'm prepared for us to chase him all Summer, if needs be. 
I'm all in.
I'm all in.
All in for this one!
This is what I needed. Put it straight into my veins.

Have we just woken up and realised it’s the transfer window and that we finished 6th last year? We went into it briefing we needed 2 attacking players. Ronaldo then told us 4 weeks ago he wanted out. Antony isn’t for sale. We haven’t moved on. We’re only now this week going for this kid - also told he isn’t for sale. What is the plan here? It’s 8 days until kickoff and outside of waiting for FDJ for another 5 weeks in the hope he just suddenly decides he does actually want to join we don’t appear to have a clue who else we can sign. I’m all for giving people the benefit of the doubt but this window is fast becoming a total clusterfeck. Again.
