United Thread - 2022/23

Are Man Utd really chasing a 30 year old Burnley striker on loan to Besiktas? Beggars belief.

 

[HelloCity]

It’s hilarious how much Sky Sports are trying to big him up.

It’s hilarious how much Sky Sports are trying to big him up.

Not really because he's wanted by the " biggest club in the world " so it's bound to be world shattering news.

He'll be desperate to earn £350,000 per week too

It’s hilarious how much Sky Sports are trying to big him up.

Ridiculous, isn’t it.

It’s like Ighalo all over again, where Sky are falling over themselves to make out what amounts to a desperate lunge for some bang average journeyman no-one else is remotely interested in to be some alchemically inspired masterpiece of strategic squad planning - just because it’s the Rags!

He’s on loan at Besiktas. From Burnley. He scored a sum total of two goals in English football. He’s shite.

He’s not the second coming of van Nistelrooy - he’s the second coming of Odion Ighalo.

If Southampton were signing him, it would be a shit move - and no amount of pressing stats will convince me otherwise.

If Weghorst is the answer then it was a fucking stupid question

The question was - What type of silencer does a Weg have?
