Wout Weghorst

[Trigger]

Both DM and Talksport reporting we are interested.

This is the kind of Transfer that scares the absolute s**t out of me. A journeyman PL player that couldn't even score that many in a Man Utd team. Why the he'll would we think he'd score a load for us???!!!

We need up and coming players. Not proven averageness at best

[c1982]

Not for me. Didn’t Dyche bring him to Burnley though? Hopefully it’s just an easy link to make and nothing more.

With any luck this is one of 99 out of 100 rumours that are completely fabricated.

Awful player.

I actually quite like him, doesn’t score enough but can hold the ball up and play with his back to goal, he could be an effective focal point, which is something we desperately lacked last season

Let’s be honest, dcl is hardly prolific - he’s worth his weight in gold for his workrate and target man credentials.

if weghorst is brought in to the side and we sell maupay it’s a no brainer.   We need a centre forward who can pin the centre halves, when dcl is injured we have no one.

I agree but it would be ironic that we sell Maupay and get a replacement that would be a good partner to him.

You mean a partner in ineptitude?

If our forward line is Weghorst and Maupay next season, we'll be relegated.

Every time I've watched him he does not look like a good target man at all. The ball is constantly bouncing off him. He lumbers around the pitch getting nowhere near anyone because he's slow as shit. Doesn't score. Doesn't do much of anything, he's just a big lump.

Donkey.

There is nothing that I have seen from maupay that suggests he would be a good partner.  He’s been a poor finisher, generally just a nothing player.

if I’m honest I’ve looked at United fans opinions of weghorst and it’s not good. They actually like him cos he has a great attitude and workrate but his control is poor, doesn’t win enough headers for his height. 
 

for me it depends on price and what dyche thinks he can add to the side.

Alan Myers has said Weghorst is not a target.

[RuffRob]

I would have welcomed him (or any other attacking player) with open arms at 11pm on 31st January 2023. However, I would nope in June 2023 our dynamic transfer team would be able to formulate something more creative and inspiring.

I am already wondering how well this post will age come 11pm on the 1st September 2023!!! .

Good to hear Alan agrees with us.

He's gone to Hoffenheim.

Thank fuck, I would have gone out and bought a Burnley shirt if he came here.
