Benjamin Šeško (playing for Man United)

[janpawel]

FFS, didn't want him, especially for the price, but over the last week managed to read and watch a lot of him to convince myself he can make as much of an impact as Isak

 

Probably all for nothing 

 

Hope we keep and get Wissa if not

75 + 10? Insufficient. Cough up the other 5.

If we know we aren't getting him because "he only wanted Manure", then up the ante. Bid 100mil. Leipzig then has a standoff with the player. Manure has to cough up much more.

 take me back to the days where we didn't try to sign the best players around, save me from the humiliation of being ambitious!

That doesn't make it good transfer policy, Shepherd did the same shit.

Hall & Tino signings were great forward looking actions.

Throwing money at any and everything in desperation is not.

We wouldn’t be bidding €80m for him if we had any doubts about his mentality 

 

 

 

 

Personally I think he must have a screw loose to choose that shit show over us but there you go

we tried to sign him 2 years ago. We have been scouting him for quite some time. 

The new Dirk Kuyt (one for the forum oldies)

We could just sign Dibling and try him up front?

I’d take it over spending over value on a player who doesn’t want to be here and who would cause major unrest if he did come

Jim the Rat finally seeing a payoff for sacking the tea lady.

Yeah I'm aware but at the start of the window I can be pretty sure we had no intentions of buying him. Same with Wissa. These are pivots late in the day. 

[Ikon]

I really feel like slapping Romano in the face with a wet empty Romanian leather glove until he passes out. Despise him! 

[KennyUtd]

By the way, players rather signing for a club who probably won't play Champions League for at least 2 years and no guarantee after that! Not that important to players after all.

I think you'd agree we still need to sign 2 strikers. There's not a chance Isak plays for us again, and Osula is nowhere near ready.

Not over til it's over 🤣

He tweets more about clubs that will bring him the most engagement and therefore the most money. That's all it is. 

To a degree, yes. 

 

But he would get plenty of engagement from Newcastle, Man Utd and Liverpool fans by preaching about our bid last night in the same way, as we are all involved in this. 

[Tsunami]

As said, Man U will be able to blow us out of the water over wages. If they really want him, they’ll get him. If they’re playing the “we tried” card and miss out over 5M Euros they’re mugging their own fans off. If their offer is accepted then we really have hit a brick wall that’ll need some breaking. Know your place and all that.

[toon25]

They're offering less. Surely it won't be accepted.

[Displayname]

Ok ok

Yeah, I agree on that. I’d personally be going for Ramos as a traditional forward and someone in the wide forward mould. Not convinced Wissa and Ramos would work well at all. Wissa would need someone doing a lot of the work 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

We think we could get Ramos do we?

[catlover24]

Although I’m frustrated about this window, I’m happy to let this pass provided we get Wissa. It’s not all about sell-on value. If Wissa beds in immediately and helps us get into UCL for 2-3 consecutive seasons, he can even leave on a free at the end of his contract and I’d be delighted.

[Displayname]

It would be fucking great if we actually got this transfer now to look on the bright side.

Genuine question - why would he cause unrest?

[Moose]

I had a bad feeling about this little gimp from the get go, him and his agent played the exact same game with Arsenal before they fucked him off, their play was obvious all along. However, it's infuriating that we've wasted yet more time and made ourselves look like complete simps in the process. But if he came here, 1/2 years down the line he'd be kicking up a fuss just like Isak. Fuck him.

He definitely seems like the kind of guy that wanks over his own farts like. Bored of hearing about him now
