Wout Weghorst. Welcome to M16

Fair play for trying to carry the WUM. explained countless times what people think of him.

Seems like people are jealous weggy is getting the shot-to-assists up for us and they’re having to tell people the make of their clothes because nobody gives a damn and it validates them

A few weeks ago the general consensus was that we only got him because we’re skint. Now it’s we wanted him all along for his defensive qualities and his work rate. It’s difficult to keep up.

No. Marlo is right.

Send him back and buy Osimhen RIGHT NOW. The season is over if we don’t.

Oh, wait..

the guy is $#*! and well below the quality we should have next season when we aren’t gonna just gonna happy to be doing the bare minimum a club as big as United should be.

this weird obsession with a player that a top club would not even have in their squad is ridiculous.

you think city would sign this busy but non scoring striker ? Or even Arsenal?
“Oh he works so hard” that’s the bare minimum ffs.
he plays just like what he is , a relagation striker just putting himself about that not what we are or should aspire to be.

in better games we will only get a few chances and he can’t even put away good chances let alone a half chance.
A decent striker puts us 1-0 at the nou camp and also yesterday when he was out though.

our 3rd striker should be a young hungry striker like that eastern European one at Chelsea. Broja or something like that. Not Burnley’s loanee



but a striker at a top club is meant to be the match winner.

Our striker should be out match winner. Simple as that!

Sheringham , Ole they were squad strikers and match winners. We looked to them to win us the match not “put them selves about”
That can fly at burley and then but not at United!

it’s ole all over again. Accepting standards that aren’t what what made us the club we are.

I don’t think anyone around here is obsessed with him apart from you

We got him because we’re skint and some of his qualities are that his work rate and defensive work.

No point repeating what has been said dozens of times. Just bask in the Horst-haters. The odd folk with bias agendas against top Dutch players and staff…in 2023 aswell

Can’t wait till ETH signs him up . Dutch revolution is well and truly underway 😎

As ever on here, it’s one extreme or the other:

You can recognise his shortcomings; acknowledge he’s a short-term, emergency signing AND observe some qualities.

And the team is doing well with him in it.

I don’t think we’ll sign him permanently and there may be points this season where a lack of quality might hurt us, but so far, he’s been a part of our most successful team of the last few years.

We can dismiss work rate if we like, but it’s been sorely lacking in recent years. Part of rebuilding a team from the floor is rebuilding the squad with character: players that work hard, that want to be here, that invest in the manager’s ideas. He has that.

You instill that and work on the squad. The only reason he is here is because of players that weren’t offering even that - Martial can’t stay fit and Ronaldo’s attitude stunk. If they had WW attitude, then WW wouldn’t be here.

We’ll have a brand new striker in the summer doing his job, but with more quality.

He’s a stop gap in a remarkable set of circumstances. We all know this. Presenting him as anything else is entirely disingenuous.

so call it what it is. A shit striker just doing his best.

there’s no reason we should be keeping him at United past middle of may.
not in any capacity.

Next season we won’t be able to lean on the United are back narrative while winning the cup we laughed out the room a few years ago

the ole days are gone and now we have the best manager around and are spending as much any one in Europe so should be front running the league etc

Cant be carrying shit strikers on that journey helping others score. Our strikers should be scoring.

Again you’re acting like he’s signed permanently and will be leading the line next season. He won’t be. He was never going to be. Relax.

He’s here because we’re selling the club, couldn’t afford much else and because Martial and Ronaldo are $#*!bags.

You’re right, we do have the best manager around right now - and he sees value in him. To say our standards are low is to suggest his are too.

If we bin Martial and sign Osimhen/Kane, we could do a lot £#%&!ing worse than keeping the Hoss as a back up, as there won't be budget to spend a ton on a back up.

Back up to who? Fred?

Depending on the sale of the club, I could see us getting two strikers in the summer. As it stands, I don’t think we’ll sign Weghorst.

Doubt it tbh, given what players currently cost.

city specialise in non-scoring non-strikers. now that they have an actual striker who scores, they have decided not to pass to him. he went to the wrong team. one day, he will be sat in the crowd like shearer, with no hair and a silly hat.

clearly, weghorst is shit compared to haaland. but he is a warm body compared to a striker shaped hole. he's missed some very presentable chances, but he has also created a bit of room for others, both direct assists and runs taking defenders away. it's not enough to try hard or marlo would be our new striker, but it certainly helps to try hard. people who have all the talent in the world, but can't be arsed, are not loved at united (or anywhere else, tbh).

broja is out for the rest of the season.

He was bought in to do a job. He’s doing it otherwise he wouldn’t be playing. ETH doesn’t £#%&! about, we’ve seen the examples of this.
I think he’s worth keeping as an option off the bench next season. 15-20 mins to go, release the horse to go galumphing around the pitch.

Lots of talk about keeping him next season. Let's just focus on this season. We're playing really well and he's playing a big part in that.

I think the second would be a ‘lesser’ signing. A Sabitzer for the attack, if you will. We need one now anyway and I think Martial will be off.

You just described Weggy

Nobodies from Norway cost £20m now. It’s a tough market.

I’d say Weggy is a level below what we’d want tbh. We want a Sabitzer. He’s a The Scottish Player.

It’s hilarious seeing you get so angry about us finally doing well. There’s no bad results anymore for you to pop up after and whinge about, so instead you’ve changed tactic and started ignoring the results, and performances, and just focus on the couple of players you don’t like.

“Won’t be able to lean on the narrative” ffs what does that even mean?

It’s killing you isn’t it
