Don’t rate him from what I’ve seen would rather see the 30mil go on someone else

 

[GetSpurredOn]

I get that we perhaps don’t want to go all in if we’re not certain he’s the answer, so if the deal doesn’t suit us then maybe it makes sense to let it go.
So long as we have a Plan B, that’s understandable. If there is no Plan B, then that’s a failing on the clubs part to identify someone suitable. Accepting January window is harder to deal with, but there are players out there.

I dearly hope that no one is disappointed in us ”missing out.” He’s going to a side that are nearly in a relegation battle. This would’ve screamed desperation.

Not bothered about this as long as we get someone else in. Never been that convinced by his profile tbh, although I’d have rathered him than nobody obviously

 

[tiger666]

Good. Didn't like the look of him at all.

 

[SpursTillIDie1882]

FFS im not sure how interested we were in this dude, anyway .... Hertha Manager is Klinsmann im sure he knows a thing or two about Striker qualities .... WOUT WEGHORST come on down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[yankspurs]

Im so confused. We desperately need a striker. It's a dire need. Kane is hurt, yet again, and when he is fit, we are busy running him into the ground because we have no one to back him up and give him a game off.

 

[SpartanSpur]

The fact that us, Chelsea and Utd are desperate for a striker and none were willing to pay under £30m for him suggests there were big question marks around him and he would have been a major gamble.

 

[danny32]

Wout Wout Wout!

We want Wout Weghorst from Wolfsburg

 

[eddiev14]

What’s this ‘here we go!’ shit I keep reading on this plonker’s Tweets.

 

[spursfan77]

Yeah not convince, neither were we by the looks of things.

I thought he was a better option than Willian Jose, but can’t say I’m devastated if we have missed out. He’d have been a ‘nice to have’ option, not a ‘must have’.
Just hope we have someone else in mind who fits Mourinho’s needs, and doesn’t scream ‘Plan C panic signing’.
The key will be what Mourinho wants from a forward. The other possible candidates appear to be
Willian Jose - who I’m not convinced by. He looks like a slightly more skilled Llorente. Big, doesn’t appear the most mobile, but at least appears to have a decent shot on him and not just a header of the ball.
Paco Alcacer - arguably the most mobile of those linked. Does he have the ability to be a focal striker? Not the biggest, but then again City manage fine with Aguero as their main CF.
Wout Weghorst - not heard of him till yesterday. Looks very Llorente like, albeit seems to have more of a work ethic.
Olivier Giroud - this looks like Saha mk2. A Prem proven CF, currently out of favor, but very short term. Works hard, can be a bully, but not the most mobile

Have I missed anyone? Could there be someone as yet mentioned. There was talk of a change of style, all about fast transitions, that’s why I’ve placed emphasis on mobility.

You missed the monster that is Islam Slimani

That wasn’t an accident.....

Gazumped by Hertha Berlin. It’s been a confusing day.

Tbf we have circa £170m in the last 6 months on Ndombele, Lo Celso, Sessegnon, Clarke, Fernandes & Bergwijn.

We weren’t gazumped by anyone. We wanted a loan with an option, AC wanted a sale or at worst an obligation. Herta were happy to pay money.

 

[Davo99]

Has this been confirmed by either club?

 

[sweyid]

His celebration is so cringeworthy I’m glad he went elsewhere
