our announcement video should be him in a United shirt making the t-Rex roar from a hill side or roof overlooking Manchester like the t-Rex did in the Jurassic park sequel overlooking San Diego.

Christ. Journalists acting like there’s some kind of desperation to get him into the squad for Saturday :lol: If we were that desperate, he would have been here for all the previous games this month that he might have had a chance of playing in.

Let it all out
Goals are the things we can’t do without
Come on
We are talking to you
Come on
 
I have only seen him in two matches. First the match against us last season then against the Dutch. He was a proper handful in both matches. I'm going to ignore all negative reports and instead that is his level.

I absolutely love this signing. So smart. Zero risk and a true CF. If he's only even somewhat decent it helps the squad and he won't affect our summer buying for a more permanent player at the position. I also think his play style is exactly what we need. A lot of folks were wishing for Mitrovic who is similar in style, and while Mitrovic is clearly a much better player...he'd be much more expensive (if available at all) and I think Weghorst's actually contribution won't be far off of what we'd have gotten from Mitro the rest of the season.

I think he has elite hold up skills...and given Rashford's form and Antony's skill...the wings might start flying even higher.

The idea that we would overpay for so many expensive cast-offs that weren't really #9's that we could hopefully convert, was the kind of business we've been doing the last decade thats got us into the bloated mess of squad we are almost on the other side of now...

Like a fool we went and chased De Jong
Had to take a punt on Jack Butland
Ooo baby, here he is
Signed, sealed, delivered... Weghorst.
 
Weghorst provided a great assist for Jay Rodriguez in our game vs Burnley last year. Spins both Maguire and McTominay and provides a perfectly weighted throughball which leads to the goal.

A nice little juxtaposition against the lazy profile of him as some big shithouse physical striker from the 20th century.

And with that frame of his, the likes of Dalot, Shaw, Eriksen and Bruno finally have someone to aim at with crosses into the box.
 
Martinez was going to shake his hand and then Aguero came in there to fight. Lisandro Martinez and Lautaro Martinez were the only two Argentines that were willing too.

Messi refused and called Wout a fool.
Yeah but what follows is Wout not shaking his hand and Licha pointing back at him in a less than friendly way.
 
I really hope there's an optional buy-clause in there. Unless Burnley outright refused to put one in, I don't see any reason why we wouldn't.
 
Do we have to whinge at everything. What did we expect, to have him for free? 3m is feck all.
I guess you were blubbering bullshit about how overpaying for Antony, Lisandro and Casemiro was no big deal, and here we are now unable to buy a striker and resorting to loaning a striker from a championship club.

This narrative needs to stop
