I don’t speculate my friend.
This is from Lancashire local press in July. Not a great source but he is quoted directly.
He should be able to fill a need for 6 months, and score a few goals while he's at it.
Can't really think of many better options, who'd be available on loan.
No worries
Football is weird when you only look at the worst season of a players career.
Again, context. How many starts? How many full 90’s? How many chances did he miss? He was signed when Dyche was in charge. That was a very particular and quite old English way of playing the game that I doubt he encountered in Germany or Holland.
And Rashford scored 4 in 25 matches last season. Is Championship his level?
I hope you are right.
Ironically, while January is usually dry, this year there actually were very good options that our manager wanted: Gakpo and Felix. Except the morons running our club bankrupted us, putting EtH in bad situation.
Not weird, ruthless. Any player is only as good as their last several games. Ronaldo used to be a GOAT but then he was shit, this season, and had to be benched. Former glory doesn't win games. We seem to have forgotten that, after Sir Alex and have become way to tolerant to mediocrity.
He’s going to be good. Absolute workhorse who will make space for our more skilful players. I actually think this is outside the box decent scouting. Just not muppetasitc enough and I understand the disappointment, I genuinely do but he’s going to be a handy player for a few months. I just hope we can find someone quite a bit more refined for our long term option and stop messing around with short term players. It’s driving me nuts.
The club spent a fortune this summer to please ETH. Some of you are genuinely weird, it's as if your memories are limited to 48 hours.
If he’s never been called a generation talent and doesn’t cost 100 million euros (pounds are shit) then I’m not interested.
I think you’ll be surprised
If you look at his heatmap from that season, he barely got into the penalty area. I'm not completely absolving him of blame, but it seems likely he was severely inhibited by being in a struggling defensive team.
Every other season he seems to be a reliable 1 in 2 kind of striker.
Nope. They spent a fortune because they are incompetent. This is not how proper clubs are managed. Can't blame any of this mess on EtH. This club was run like crap way before Erik.
Caf posters have said many players are only good enough for the championship only over the years, OShea, Fletcher, smith to name a few
Boom!
No one is blaming ETH. ETH asked for these 5 players and he got them, it takes some work to turn that kind of expense at the request of your manager into pretending that he has been put in a bad spot. Or to not understand that Football clubs are not endless pits of cash.
I like this addition. Cheap, no commitment, will score some goals.
Yeah I think this is about the right take. It isn't the type of signing you go crazy about and can't wait to see but he is a good striker when we need one desperately.
I wonder how many people are aware that Mitrovic scored 3 goals in 27 PL appearances two seasons ago.
He's definitely not good enough for the Prem...

You really are like a broken record.
ETH’s recruitment has been spot on so far, let’s maybe have a bit of faith in our best manager since Sir Alex and not write Weghorst off before a ‘potential’ deal has even been completed.
Sounds like this could take quite some time to be completed if it is dependant on Besiktas signing Aboubakar as his replacement.
Great point
He's making up prices in his head and thus portraying we overspend this summer.
I don't know what he is doing but it's senseless. This year there is nothing that can be said about the club's investments, the manager got 4 starters that are all upgrades, it's predictable and understandable that we may not have much cash for large expenses this winter.
Good shout. He also had a better scoring record than both Vardy and Tevez in his first season in the premier league.
It is almost as if it's difficult for a striker to score goals in their first season in the premier League playing for a side in a relegation battle.
Maybe we should sign Michu, he did great.
I always wanted United to Mandzukic. Love pressing, stay in the box, decent holding up play, is a fighter. Weghorst probably the next best thing
We spent 160 million on Sancho and Antony and to be honest, who would give us even half of that now. This guy has a skill we don't really have, cheap and 6 months.If he’s never been called a generation talent and doesn’t cost 100 million euros (pounds are shit) then I’m not interested.
very good post
Praise indeed. Mandzukic was a beast in his day!
I totally agree with the you…my post was just being facetious in response to the negativity in here.
All good.
He's a pressing monster, can head the ball and quite good at holding the ball up. Great option for sure. Look what ETH did with Haller.Good point.
Now apply that logic to him scoring 2 from the bench against the eventual World Champions..
An option for when Martial gets injured/can't be arsed it's fine.
Maybe we should get that Saudi Arabian guy as well who scored the winner against the eventual World Champions..
I am not surprised at all if we get him despite that Besiktas/Burnley both must be ‘convinced’.
Hard working pressing forward
Dangerous in the air
Decent with both feet
That's enough for me, especially the first part. Will offer a different dynamic than Rashford and Martial.
Sign him up. If he performs well I hope we can get him permanently in the summer.
