If the reports are true and we're not going for Kane, who do we want in?
I like the look of Vlahovic, I think he could be Ten Hag's type of striker. He scores different styles of goals, big enough to be a target, good touch and might not blow the bank as he's struggled to settle at Juve.
I do think there's plenty of options on the market that would improve us in that position (Hojlund and Kolo Muani for example). Anything would be an upgrade on Martial/Weghorst as our striking options!
Dave from Cardiff tier 1 when?!
No worries. Seems like all sorts of outlets just went mad with it. Decent article on the athletic on the whole ordeal.
No worries. Same sort of rubbish we read every day about United signing every player under the sun.
I don't speak Arabic and I don't trust google translate to get nuance, so I'm going to copy and paste a comment from a different forum I frequent:
"the entire thing is a joke. Al Watan never reported anything. Any person who properly reads Arabic knows that the tweet itself started with “news reports:” and that it indicates the tweet was aggregating, similar to the bbc rumors page or a filler article that says “reports in Spain suggest…” with no info claimed of its own.
the editor was retweeting fake Fabrizio Romano accounts. He was simply fooled into thinking there’s were substantive reports elsewhere that the deal was done, and made a tweet indicating that “News reports:”The paper has tweeted 3-4 times in the past few months doing the same aggregating on Guardian articles, and even the Sun staying sheikh Jassim would buy West Ham if he failed at United.
It is a joke that it even made it to the stage where questions were being asked and so many misled, there never was a claim that it was done by the Qatari paper, period. "
Hopefully this preferred bidder nonsense is announced this week. Sooner it's sorted the better.
Best for all parties that he moves on. Probably worth a quid bet that he scores against us this season...
