Burns92 2,525 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Kinda excited about this guy. Think he'll be pretty good up front and we can stop relying on Martial to get himself fit. Would love it if he gets us a few shithouse wins along the way, that's the only way I love football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CB78 322 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Wouldn’t say excited - but more I read about Weghorst & Ten Hagg’s poss thinking on why he wants him? The more optimistic I am he can come in & add value? From what read, seems another character/personality type with a bit of edge, drive, arrogance- which is good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TFIA 14,888 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Decent option for what we need. Will do a job. Will probably get more playing time than expected. Martial is already out of form and that generally drags on with him. Weghorst's work rate will put him to shame. hdcantona 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheManc 4,007 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 willing to bet not a soul on this forum has seen him more than 3x and focused on him even less. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Locke 1,142 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Will no doubt bring something different. We haven't really got a potent aerial threat so it'll be interesting to see if he can get some purchase on one of those anthony inswingers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay007 3,339 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 A bit underwhelming maybe but we need another option up front and I've wanted a 'traditional number 9' for a while, so I'm reasonably pleased. Hopefully he (pleasantly( surprises us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless prem league players likely to see more of or team UTD are up against I don't have time to be watching football all the time, (hard enough getting UTD games squeezed in at times) I go on what I can research stats wise online & others opinions I respect in the main!

Martial never stays fit. Waterford Crystal are thinking of producing a line of glass footballers named after him. Burns92 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hdcantona 8,526 Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 So despite romano and others claiming all papers signed at leas three hours before today's mid day cut off the club failed to get him registered in time (Can register without the announcement btw so if theyre waiting for that for some reason it's irrelevant) Knew we wouldn't get him in in time for a cameo v city Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay007 3,339 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 @hdcantonamaybe just move this thread to the Players' forum? I do think we made a mistake taking him off, unless it was a lack of fitness. A few nice touches and flicks aside he didn't do an awful lot, but like Martial at the weekend I think he was at least occupying defenders and was creating space for others. That didn't happen once he went off. hdcantona 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Locke 1,142 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 His performance reminded me of cavani. I think he gelled quite well with the team but unfortunately didn't get much quality service. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
