Joshua Zirkzee is a Red | and our #11

Is that a centre parted perm??

Glad we have got this over the line early, and for what looks like a good price too. Excited to see what he can bring to the team.
 
''Already strong group of attacking players''

What the feck is he on. This is the worst United attack in PL history.
 
Hopefully he settles in and lights up Old Trafford. Exciting signing. Much prefer this kind of punt rather then going for a past their best "galactico"
 
Nice! Good to see this wrapped up, and to repeat what I said the other day, great to have another option up front because with Martial as a backup we've basically had nothing for years. Hopefully some healthy competition between strikers will hopefully bring out the best in each of them and I like thsg he had different qualities to Hojlund. Hopefully he can adapt well to the league and hopefully develop the goalscoring part of his game.
 
Intriguing tactical option… Ten Hags most attractive sides have had a false 9 IMO so might be a turning point in terms of aesthetics

 
Skeptical he's what we needed, but hope he does well and assists plenty of goals when he isnt scoring
 
If he can glue the ball like Louie Saha or Berba, he could be awesome. We'll see...
 
Brilliant signing. Willing worker that loves to press and has great technical ability. He'll improve us out of possession immensely and in possession as well. Exactly the type of player we've been missing at the sharp end. Would love to see him as a false 9 with Hojlund and ONE of Rashy, Garnacho, Sancho, Amad completing the front three.

He's actually the exact right type of player to get the most out of the way ETH wants to play. With Licha, Mainoo, Shaw, and now Zirkzee we're getting there in terms of a squad of players that can keep possession under pressure and break lines with runs and passes.

Not super excited for this, but hopefully he makes a big step up here and fits in well. My guess is squad player which is still good and needed up top, and it'll help Rashford having a guy like him. Reasonable release clause so if he's more than that, great, and if not it's not a problem.

Finally targeting younger players again rather than going for those who are about to fall off the age cliff.
 
Welcome he will be amazing for us in the right formation.

Nnot happy on page 2 with the pessimist, skeptics and glass half empty individuals sad :annoyed:
 
Be good to see the ball stick uptop alittle longer now. Hojlund is ok at it but its not one of his strengths.
 
Never seen him play but note really worried about lack of perceived goals. If you have 2 wide forwards who‘s game prioritises getting shots off over creating chances then having a man in the middle with the inverse mentality will balance It out, it’s what made Firmino the perfect foil for Mane and Salah.
 
Watching a few of these and he does a lot of things very well. Seems to make good decisions quickly.

 
It was, although Guirassy's deal to Dortmund hit a snag with them doing tests on an injury. He's cheaper and an actual goalscorer



We aren't signing players over 25, I'd imagine that is especially true if other clubs are not signing them due to finding injuries.

This lad has also had 1 good scoring season in his career and been a slightly worse than 1 in 3 scorer for the six seasons before he went to Stuttgart.
