weghorst

[NewClaret]

Bruno great header 3-1

I just get the sense the United lads don’t like Weghorst and he’s trying desperately to be their mate

[RVclaret]

The key attributes of a striker (although he's hardly a striker at United anyway)

Doing a job for what they need. Unless he starts scoring I doubt they sign him though. Hopefully someone in Germany will take him back cos despite him actually suiting our striker role I don’t think he suits our new team.

[CombatClaret]

The first time he played for united someone posted this gif on twitter and I've laughed about it every time he's played.

Yes, can't see them signing him - looks out of place and not good enough for them.

[NewClaret]

Weghorst did well there.

I think United will sign him. He’s starting a lot of games. ETH likes him. Even if they get a new first choice he’ll want cover and Weghorst will be cheap. But we shouldn’t get greedy with him.

[Whitgord]

And he scores!

Oh I’d bite their hands off for 10m. Even a bit less.

[IanMcL]

At last!
You can see the relief!

WEGGY NETS!!!

Not a penny less than £20m

[Carwin261]

He’s hit the furking barn door.

[Whitgord]

He didn’t hit it cleanly, even when it was a sitter

[CombatClaret]

Teammates pat Weghorst on the head and promise to put his goal on the fridge door so everyone can see it.

[Burnleyareback2]

I remember him being a Burnley fan favorite this time 12 months ago, there was even a song about us staying in the premier league due to him.

Amazing how quickly he turned to a player that most fans on here joke about.

I suspect that a condition of him signing for us would allow him to leave if upon relegation due to his World Cup prospects. Everything was agreed, he didn’t have to demand it.

Strange how much dislike there is for him.

[NewClaret]

Would love this Pellestri chap on loan for the season as part of the Weghorst sale!

[Carwin261]

Utd have just offered 6 Haffners pies ,and a dozen Benny,and hots payable over 3 yrs for WW,

Idiot boo boys that think they know more about football than ETH and VK. They always need someone to knock down to make themselves feel better.

WW is a quality footballer and is one of the main reasons MU are riding high.

[Shaggy]

He’s done something lump of never will, score in European competition.

[tiger76]

Glad Wout finally bagged, he's been working hard for Utd in the main with little reward, but that goal may just settle him down now.

[Vegas Claret]

Amazing commentary from Savage:
Weghorst has a shot and only superb defending stops him scoring "He's got to do better there"
Antony clean through keeper saves when any half decent striker scores "it's a great save"

One cost 80 million the other is on loan from Burnley.

I can’t remember that. Are you saying that Birmingham were in the Europa League in 2011? I can’t remember them being in the Premier League. It’s far too late. I can’t be bothered to google it.

They won a domestic cup and got relegated in the same season, hence why they were in the Europa League and in the championship

There is no doubt those 4 make the list but if you are doing them in order you need a new number 1. His biggest hate in life is education and every post the bitter clown makes backs it up even further.

Haha ok,

How anyone on this planet can say Weghorst is a “quality footballer” is beyond me. He’s a good grafter but lacks key attributes to be a quality footballer. He can’t score and is too slow to be a striker in English football. That’s why ETH has dropped him deep.

I like Weghorst.

As for education im more than likely higher educated than yourself.. anyway

Not a sheeple like yourself though.

Least he dropped him deep rather than dropped onto the bench like your forecast after his debut (started every single game since)

[adropofclaret]

My Man U friend at work love WW and think he's helped change there season, lots work work off the ball, chasing down, intelligent play pulling players out of position.
Plus they think he's just nuts

I suspect you're being serious so i'll be polite.

Nobody plays in the PL and for Holland without being a quality footballer. Weghorst is one of the first names on the team sheet in the third best team in the country at present.

He may not have the speed of a young Michael Owen, the finesse of a cultured midfielder, or the change of direction of a tricky winger but the attributes he does have still equate to a quality player.

How else do you think he's playing for arguably the biggest club in the world?

[NewClaret]

Had a look on red cafe last night and there was one post that I thought summed it up, paraphrased as “we’re a lot better team/winning more games with Weghorst in the side than Ronaldo”.

I don’t want him back and don’t think he’d suit us now, but I can appreciate his contribution to United. He made some great runs to pull defenders out of shape/get in front of them. If his team mates trusted him he might’ve scored a lot more.

The majority United fans want him gone though, he’s almost becoming another symbol of their fall from grace:

https://www.redcafe.net/threads/wout-we ... 14/page-78

I’d forgotten what a bunch of self-entitled knobs United fans were! Makes me appreciate the UTC crew

[HiThere]

Has the most interceptions, blocks and tackles for any striker in the Premier League per 90 minutes this season

I guess the question is as a forward whether he's still worth playing with those stats you mention above, taking into account he won't score many. He seems to be more of an attacking midfielder.

I was going to take the bait and reply, but this sums it up for me.

I said right at the beginning that WW will spell the end for Martial. Now he’s been injured so it might not quite be the death knell I thought, but we’re seeing how good he really is for a fluid United system.

following on from the clowns emotional outbursts I would much rather feature on that list than one of what he likes

[Darthlaw]

I had the pleasure of some free booze and prawn sandwiches at the Manyoo Betis game last night.

The overrising memory of Wout's performance was the distinct lack of getting into danger areas or making the correct runs to get himself in a position to score. Aside his goal (which would have been harder to miss), he really didn't contribute much to the game apart from missing a sitter and being offside a few times (ah, memories...).

The overriding thought from those sat around me is that against better opposition he usually reduces their goal threat. This being masked last night by two solo efforts and Bruno's unmarked header from a corner. Certainly the 'he makes runs to distract defenders' line has gone very quiet since his initial performances.

In the main, they're happy that he puts in a shift but would still prefer hit and miss Martial once he returns to fitness.

You seem too like following me where as no one gives 2 hoots about someone as insignificant as yourself.

[roperclaret]

look at Liverpool 2018-2021. Firmino never got 10 league goals in any of the 3 seasons. But he was a huge part of why Salah and Mane scored over 100 goals between them over that period

[Boss Hogg]

He offers pretty much what we saw with us. Nice lay offs and runs off the ball along with work rate. He can’t head though and is too slow to be prolific at PL level. He seems to fit their system at present but I’m sure they could benefit from a better player in there. I hope we can flog him because I’m not sure he would offer us that much.I’ve not seen any thing surprising from him at Man Utd.

A better player than Barnes which would improve us.

He’s playing for United as they didn’t have a penny to scratch their arse with.

He’s only playing because of injuries.

There are literally pundits saying he is the worst striker they have had. Their fan base have mocked him since his first game. He will feature until martial is fit then he will be dropped and never play for them again.

[Big Vinny K]

Maybe he is right now - but even that’s debatable with Barnes’ performances in last few months.
Wout has age on his side and probably more mobile (but not hard to look more mobile than Ronaldo and Martial did last season).
I’d be very surprised based on what we have seen so far from Weghorst that he go on to score as many goals as Barnes did in the PL. And even in a United team with world class players round him it doesn’t like he’s going to score as many as Barnes did before his injury in the PL.

Whether Weghorst would be better for us in our current team than Barnes I’m not sure - probably. But I hope we will get better than both next season as IMHO Weghorst is not good enough and Barnes is too old for the top league now (hope I’m wrong on Barnes)

You said Lyle Foster is a quality player and Weghorst is shite. Brilliant, just about sums your knowledge on football up.

[KRBFC]

and that's nothing against Foster who might turn out to be good but currently looks like the South African Delroy Facey

Here’s pundit and United fan Gary Neville

“I love Wout Weghorst. There was all this debate with Ronaldo last season that they couldn’t press. Weghorst is very good in transition for Manchester United and defending set pieces. He’s doing a vital job for a team with attacking talent.”

By fan base, perhaps you are doing a twitter search and finding their internet fans from Namibia and Indonesia who’ve never watched a game in person ever.

Ones that I have seen like this one, who is a performance analyst, provides a good and fair analysis:

https://twitter.com/jackfawcett1704/sta ... 59Piho1d6w

As for injuries, Martial has been fit and Weghorst started. Sancho could start but doesn’t. Anthony hasn’t started every game. Rashford starts up top with Weghorst in the 10.

Looks like you are talking nonsense, again.
