Literally just seen, Twitter is going wild. We didn’t have a recall clause though apparently….

I’d want a loan in return.

Not sure how that one works.

It happens. He does well and we sell him to them for 40 million.

HiThere · Post by **HiThere** » Sat Jan 07, 2023 5:54 pm

Be class though if he goes there for the rest of the season, has the games of his life and they buy him off us for £40 million. Kompany could buy about 142 players with that.

We recall him then loan him back out. His celebration tonight looked like a goodbye.

No surprise really. Decent player, knows where the net is.

Be nice to have their pants down over this.... they always seem to get top dollar for their ex-players.

Fair enough, I thought I'd heard we couldn't recall him. But if we can get him there, brilliant.

I wonder if Kompany would want him if we went up…

Just thinking as to whether it’s to our benefit if this has an obligation to buy clause or not.

Looks like he’s waving bye to Besiktas fans after his goal today

bobinho · Post by **bobinho** » Sat Jan 07, 2023 6:00 pm

Kompany may well fancy having a look at him. Trouble is, there’s far too many on here who have written him off so he’d just be a scapegoat I’m afraid.

As much as I’d love to see him play in this team, I think sadly we have seen the last of him.

Without diverting this into one of the forty Weghorst threads from last season - loads wrote him off (including me) at the time due to his inability to fit into a system which clearly didn’t suit him.

It’s a different kettle of fish with this team, he’d be a beast in it I think. He didn’t suit long ball football at all as he’s more of a footballer than his stature maybe makes people think. I think he’d get a clean slate from all, and I think he’d excel in this system, genuinely.

IF he goes to Man Utd what does it say about Sean Dyche as a manager not being able to get anything out of him

It's not that unrealistic. United need cover upfront, and signing top level players in January isn't easy.

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Sat Jan 07, 2023 6:18 pm

There’s so much going on today I haven’t had chance to turn the Ipad off.

This is obviously happening and we must have agreed to it - otherwise Besiktas could just loan him to the Blades and scupper our season. We must retain a say. So that begs the question can we benefit from it, e.g. a higher loan fee and reject any pre negotiated sale price in May?

Whilst on hols in July was speaking with a Dutch chap who was surprised to hear that Wout was getting knocked about in his early games - he reckoned he's a hard lad.

And if its a mix up and its Oxford United where he ends up then Dyche is the real deal

Hedontplayforyou · Post by **Hedontplayforyou** » Sat Jan 07, 2023 6:21 pm

Just imagine if he went there , a half decent spell and a nice fee in the summer is the ideal ending

The way I see it if this does happen, is we get him in a bigger shop window. If he performs well in the Prem until the end of the season, we could demand quite a large fee which VK can reinvest (and pay more off the debt). Or, we keep him and he plays for us next season. Not a bad position for us to be in.

The same Weghorst many on here were dismissing as a bad player is in talks with Man Utd?

He'd score shedloads in this side.

beddie · Post by **beddie** » Sat Jan 07, 2023 6:46 pm

Is it us then that’s agreed to loan him to Man U. I don’t understand what involvement Besiktas have with him being our player or have I read the tweet wrong.

eastcoastclaret · Post by **eastcoastclaret** » Sat Jan 07, 2023 6:51 pm

Can you image if Besiktas have loaned him out knowing full well they have a deal in place to buy him at the end of the season. They then sell immediately at a profit if he does well.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jan 07, 2023 6:59 pm

Some really big accounts reporting it, United been dealing with us regarding a loan fee (allegedly). Looks like it could happen, hopefully it does and he scores loads

Can they loan him out without our consent? He's still pur player at the end of the day.

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Sat Jan 07, 2023 7:03 pm

Imagine if we managed to make a profit on a 30 year old striker who scored two times for us at a 1-in-10 rate.

equinox · Post by **equinox** » Sat Jan 07, 2023 7:06 pm

They signed Ighalo not long ago and Weghorst is a better player than him.

Weghorst is a good, well respected player you know, people need to see beyond their utter disbelief that someone didn't want to play in the Championship, which let's be honest is a terrible standard.
