Apparently we have agreed a loan deal with him ... At least according to Talk sports anyways because the club haven't officially mentioned it I don't think.
I thought he looked a decent striker in the World Cup with Cameroon.
Good first touch , good hold up play , strong and powerful and above all he looks a pretty good finisher too.
I watched him in the AFCON last year and he certainly caught my eyes with his goals and his leadership as captain of Cameroon.
With Martial not really doing much at the minute , we seem to rely so heavily on Rashford for goals right now.
That's 5 in 5 by the way for Marcus after his goal last night against Everton and for me he's definitely playing the best football of anybody in the country at the moment .
But he needs another goal scorer with him in the our attack and Vincent Aboubakar could certainly fill that gap I think.
This is definitely not another Ighalo situation if anybody is a bit concerned. He's definitely a much better footballer than Ighalo.

Weghorst was a 1 in 2 striker at Wolfsburg so no mug. I'd imagine his wages wouldn't be sky high either. If this is true then I'd have no issue with it.

Same. Not necessarily a replacement or back-up for Martial, just an alternative option; not a world-beater but someone Erik might get the best out of in this team.

Antony might start doing something if he has someone to cross to.

I'd be happy enough with this deal. Wouldn't be expecting miracles but as a short term loan signing, he'd give us something different. And incredibly for someone not overly mobile, he's still more mobile than the man he's replacing

People seem to underestimate Martial’s capacity to create space for his teammates. Most of Rashford’s goals are scored when Martial is on the pitch. The pundits don’t see it, but ETH does.

I’ve been saying for a couple of years that even though he wasn’t scoring we always played better football with Martial in the team. It’s not just the space but he always linked up better with Bruno and Rashford better than any of our other forwards.
It’s frustrating his finishing has become so crap, he used to be so clinical but lacking much else. Now he’s actually developed more to his game as a striker he can’t finish anymore.

Immobile would have been less immobile.

I think this transfer could well happen but I expect any movement to be slow.
