People complaining that the club is reluctant to spend big on Sesko yet if they are honest they had no idea who he was until the other day.

Classic Caf :lol:
Young, unknown, exotic-ish-sounding name….ticks all the boxes for a mystery spunk a load of cash purchase
 
Yes, United legend in my save. Although we were taken to the cleaners in the game as well where we spent 70m on him but that was in 2025. So art imitating life or rather life imitating art? :wenger:
I got him in 2023 for ridiculous £16m, combined fantastically with Adeyemi and Sancho, giving me a fantastic option.

Got him for Newcastle and in his 2nd season with us we won a treble with him scoring over 50 goals and winning the Ballon D'Or :drool:

Sounds like a good stop gap then until Ronaldo's regen becomes available in 3 years.
 
Are people so desperate for Sesko? He still needs to develop further and Sazlburg is the best place for him next season. If he comes here, he wont have time to develop and the pressure is different. Relax guys.
Many people it seems don’t trust the manager and are just desperate for any player in any position - the bigger the name the better. That’s probably how Woodward got away with it for so long.
 
Absolutely raging now. Adeyemi has been quality for me, but feeling like I chose the wrong Salzburg striker.

I've signed both. Sesko is miles better. Adeyemi was really underwhelming both times I signed him
 
So reports saying we are close to agreement on a 37M Euro deal, I would take that but definitely would prefer something more reliable than TalkSport to be reporting it.

Talksport sources have been quite on point so far this season. Can't recall them getting something wrong.

Ahh shit, you got me excited for a second there!

Adeyemi is all pace. Always worked well for me on the wings rather than as a striker. Sesko is a much better rounded striker in the game.
 
How’s it taken so long for that to be posted here? Smells of bullshit anyway

edit: that’s because it is

you can play adeyemi off the right as in inside forward and he’ll score a bucket load. Sesko becomes a really classy, unstoppable target man/link up player. Think a younger Harry Kane. I really hope we sign him in real life.
 
Salzburg are playing Sturm Graz tomorrow at 6:30 who I think are supposed to be decent by Austrian Bundesliga standards. I'll probably try watching some of it to see how he does.
 
He is improving cause he is playing…it’s about minutes at that age…joining us and bringing him in would be the worst thing for his development unless he is gonna play. Buy him and loan him back. Play the long game.
 
Maybe but he's likely have played about 30 more matches than he will here and scored a lot more goals. The progress will do him good and we'd be signing a much better player, assuming he actually does well. He currently has 6 goals in 26, a plenty of time before he's a 20 goal premier league striker if ever

I'll be the first to admit I had never heard of Sesko so my authority on his potential is not impressive. But now that I've taken a look -- YouTube -- he looks an intriguing talent.

Will Sesko develop more in the Austrian league than he would under ETH's watch at Old Trafford? I'm not so sure about that. What are my assumptions?
  • The Austrian Bundesliga is not a particularly competitive league, I would imagine ranked below the top ten in Europe.
  • ETH is a masterful developer of young talent.
  • With or without Ronaldo, we need a striker.
  • Martial cannot be counted to provide a full season of consistent productivity.
  • United will be able to provide plenty of opportunities this season for Sesko to develop his game.
The barrier to this being a no-brainer is 55m BP. If RBS were willing to settle for 45m would you be on board?

With our lack of forward options he would get plenty mins off the bench and in the cups. From the little I've seen of him he looks very comfortable going wide also, especially on the right so we could probably even try him in the wide areas if we want to rotate, the same way we often did with a young Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez.
