Who cares what the option to buy is, just get him in and renegotiate the buy option at the end if he's actually good
He's played 458 competitive minutes this season, so it's fair to say that he's not had much consistency of game time. Yes, it's a concern that he's only registered one assist this season, but if we can be in for a loan only (with or without an option to buy), then I think it's worth giving it a go since currently we can't rely on only Hojlund and Zirkzee.
Who is he similar to in style? A comparison from 20 years ago is fine, I'm old.
Should united really go for another young and inexperienced striker? Think they need a player in their prime
Zaha apparently but right footed
I would take him loan with option triggered by number of appearances 40 mill.
Offload Rashford and bring in Cherki for that 22 million which is essentially reimbursed by Sancho's sale in the summer. 62 million for two sought after / reputable attackers which is closer to 37 net with 25 mill from Chelsea.

Option to buy versus mandatory, see how he does first.
But 100% having loan with option would be a brilliant bit of business
He reminds me of a young Anelka personally (nowhere near as good)
Anelka had absolutely blistering pace. I’m not seeing the comparison, other than French, black and plays in a similar position in the same sport.
Great pace, times runs well in space between full back and defender, very natural finishes when they score, good feel for the ball, wiry strength.
Just not as good because young Anelka was astounding.
Is he actually a centre forward?
Thanks.
Anelka at 17-19, was the greatest player ever at that age. Pele level.
We should just do a straight loan for him and if he’s any good then offer them the money. However the downside to that is if he shines for us Bayern will want more. But if we set on a fixed price and he doesn’t perform for us then we’ll be screwed. He is only 19 though so can improve lots.
Possibly the most foolish comparison of all time.
As if Pele was anywhere near as good as Le Sulk.
On the Transfers podcast last night, they said he can play as CF and a winger, though his gripe at Bayern seems to be that he isn't getting enough game time at CF, which is his preferred position, due to a certain Harry Kane.
Nonsense.
At 17 he barely played, at 18 he finished his first season at Arsenal with 6 league goals in 26 games. At 19 he scored 17 in 35 which is excellent but far from unheard of.
Pele won the world cup at 17 scoring twice in the final. Rooney and Messi were also better than Anelka as teenagers.
He reminds me of Isak, think he’ll develop into a top striker, he has the technical ability and physical attributes combined that we lack in our strikers.
Don't want to be party pooper (especially because i also like this kid) but isn't he wrong player to sign at THIS moment? We need proven goal scorer not another "young and learning".
If we are replacing both Zirkzee and Hojlund with Tel and proven striker (Osimhen or Gjokeres) then all good.

Excuse moi
I don't think any sane person has ever made that kind of comparison for Anelka of all people. He was very good when he burst on to the scene, no doubt. But your take is crazy haha.
Does he? Apparently he’s not all that natural upfront and may be suited to the wide roles. Doesn’t like a dead cert level talent. The Quenda links are much more exciting for me. Upfront u feel we need someone more reliable.
Agree. Even if we can’t afford the sure thing we need the near sure thing talent version. This guy seems to have a lot of question marks.
I feel he is to replace Rashford in the team. Also the cynic in me feels Garnacho would be eventually sold in the summer so could replace him as well.
Loan until the summer and then spunk it all on Gjokeres and Quenda sounds like a good deal to me. Really anyone would be better than what we have now.
Cunha is not a CF, however, what issues do you see with his overall game. I don't watch Wolves all the time, but when I do, he seems to be able to do everything you want from an attacker at an extremely high level - he carries well, dribbles well, is strong, passes well, and mucks in with defensive work too.
Very good player, but this is completely wrong. No where near Pele or even our own Wayne Rooney as a teenager.
Agree Rooney was special. Anelka was very lethal when at Arsenal, the league was not ready for the newfound athleticism of that team and he got the most benefit. Once he went abroad he was nowhere near the player as he was not getting those same chances on a plate.
Rooney could have gone anywhere and still stood out.
Great yarn, with the Lévy flight, then home empty handed. Far more activity than I expected in this window. I have no idea of the ability of this guy - may karmic forces/angels/wicked magic guide us to the good place
Just watching sky sports who are alleging we have made a "verbal offer" to Bayern for Tel
That's good, don't put anything in writing and they can't hold us to it once we remember we're skint.
Fenomeno at the same age has something to say about that.
So does our record goal scorer
Love seeing us sign talented young players. And by talented I mean literally talented, not Hojlund kinda talented
Exactly, teenage R9 was a million miles better than Anelka ever was
Slow down, ain't nobody signed yet, and Tel still has to prove how good he is in the long term and amongst the big boys, too.
At this stage I’m concerned we’ll agree a deal and he’ll even knock us back!
Wonder if he’s just an attention seeker
