Benjamin Šeško (playing for Man United)

If it’s any consolation this price was probably a big over pay and much more risky than Ekitike.

At least we drove the price up for them, I’ll take that and move on with a smile on my face regarding this one. I’m gutted we lost out on Ekitike and Pedro. Slightly disappointed we missed out on Mbeumo but not too fussed. However, this one is a dodged bullet 

 

We're in the same boat on this, I think. Except for actually not being that gutted about Ekitke is the one difference. 

 

Unless Sesko ends up deciding to come here himself, in that unlikely event then my opinion will change a fair bit as a couple of red flags would drop away.

 

If Man U hadn't bid, we'd bought him and he turned out good, I'd be waiting for the next pantomime.

Just highlights how impossible it is to grow organically, which they peddlers of these rules know full well. 

It's not possible and it's by design. Absolutely mental this isn't discussed more.

Think Sesko supports Man Utd. They will eventually find a way.

Another one bites the dust

 

Howay man, it's a King Kev reference.

I think it’s been painfully obvious as this has dragged out that he prefers manu. We have been a backup option if it did not materialize.

I was more in on Sesko than Ekitike, felt his ceiling esp in PL is higher

Not convinced by Ekitike still, not seen enough yet and he's not done enough either
Sesko is a genuine wonderkid, even Pedro is not same tier

[gbandit]

When we do finally walk away from this one we need to sort out a striker within 48 hours. Sick to fuck of these drawn out transfers. Move down the pecking order and bring in players who aren’t the finished article but need good coaching, and who are desperate to improve and come to a club like ours. The players are out there, we’ve signed them in recent windows

Nah, but he is on a plane.

Where to next? Ramos? Woltemade? It would be an honour to tee up those deals for Bayern.

I honestly think this is the plan. Eventually we will have enough evidence to show this and the PL will have to take action or we fetch the legals in.

I know we lack imagination in the transfer market but I’d hope we had alternatives.

Not all of those are positive stats. More shots? Ekitike was in a much better team. Higher xG can be read either way. Didn't Ekitike underscore his xG more than anyone in the major European leagues? xG per shot being higher suggests he was missing good chances too. Touches in the box can be indicative of playing for a team that scored 15 more league goals last season.

Got me there Lukey boy. First one this summer, congrats.

[sushimonster85]

For better or worse, it will absolutely be Watkins next. To be honest I'm shocked we haven't made a move already.

Not really.

[alexf]

So if we get him he's the new Michael Owen who never wanted to sign but we outbid the team he wanted so he came reluctantly.  Awesome.

[lovejoy]

Romano must have said 20 times in his latest video that Man Utd are convinced he’s joining them.
