I strongly disagree, just from his sub appearances he looks better than Gernacho, I however think he may even get games ahead of Zirkzee and Hojlund.
Mathys Tel | talks with Bayern back on?
- Thread starter Bojan Djordjic
- Start date
Who's this guy, reliable?
TBF it's probably the most factual transfer tweet I've ever seen.
Not meant to be taken that way.
He is neither 18 nor a winger.
I doubt that United have the money now that Bayern is looking for so I expect either a loan or a loan with an obligation to buy.
I hope he knows how hard it’s going to be for him to play here.
I guess, it adds up
We need a striker and goalscorer. Tel isn't a striker. Again I don't understand the recruitment
We haven't been linked any strikers which is surprising, a loan for Osimehn please
does anyone have a clue if he is a hard pressing kind of player? i dont want to stereotype here... just a bit worried he is a classic luxury french winger
He is a striker.
He does run, definitely not a martial.
Just not the right profile we need. We have a project player in Hojlund.
I agree.
Omar Berrada believes players must succeed in 1-2 years. Players staying for longer with poor performance will be deemed unacceptable.
Hojlund's time is up in the summer.
As someone who has actually watched him, no, he absolutely is not
Yes he is.
That would make much more sense
That project is history. And it started with previous regime. Hojlund had year and half to orove himself and he showed that PL is too much for him.
I do agree that we should look at proven striker, not another young one.
But, optimist in me think that we will change whole attack. Tel now and Gjokeres this summer.
You've never seen him play even once. Even from past interactions with you, that's very obvious
Is that a term for "bang average sunk cost"?
Can't be worse than our shower of shite and if we don't like him we don't trigger the buy option.
Ironic.
I don't know a thing about this guy, but expecting a 19 year old to come in and turn our season around seems a bit of an ask.
That said, I'm so desperate I'd have Weghorst back at this point

So straight loan rejected? If Bayern are pushing for a fee or obligation to buy it could be tricky for us to do given the current financials. To the Weghorst thread!

Weghorst was genuinely better than either current option.
We don't. It's an opportunistic loan to give us better options than what we have, nothing more.I don't know a thing about this guy, but expecting a 19 year old to come in and turn our season around seems a bit of an ask.

Like someone else said Napoli would most likely only recall him from Galatasaray for permanent deal, not that I agree with that way of thinking
If the plan is to play him as a striker, it's a gamble. Feels like when we went for Zirkzee, except Zirkzee actually did have experience there. People certainly shouldn't be expecting a natural poacher in Tel because that is not the type of player he is. Tel is talented and would suit the 10 positions, which I'd imagine is what we actually want him for, but that position is far less of a priority imo.
That’s what I was thinking too. Rashford and at least one of Hojlund or Zirkzee out for Gyokeres and Tel.
The base level for Tel is pretty low and I’m sure he’ll be chomping at the bit. He seems to have the right character if he wants to leave and play, as opposed to being content with being the Kane understudy and have a very good chance of picking up major honours in Germany most years without doing much.
Yeah does sound like he has the right mentality
Funnier thing is McTominay would have gotten 2 goals today as he would have made the back post run each time
Tel isn't a centre forward.
He isn't a real winger either but he likes to cut inside from the left side and scored some nice goals this way.
The role of the "left 10" in your system would suit him i think.

Yeah probably will play up front for us in the short term just because we're so short of quality there, but seems like the long term spot if he joins permanently
Yep, he is a second striker or a „wide forward“. He is not a 9, not a 10 and not a winger.
Temu Mbappe?
Thank you for actually dispelling the myth that some in here that have never watched Tel are trying to promote. I think he's best suited to the half spaces, quite similar to Amad imo.
Can he keep the ball under pressure in the final third? And does he have the physicality for the PL?
We shouldn’t be looking at players who can’t/don’t. No matter what age.

You going to tell the Bayern Munich fan that watches him every game he's wrong too?
19 year old to the rescue, anyone fancy a bet when us fans turn on him?
