Many people have, it’s not an out there scouting take. The chance of us signing him is slim to none though, he’s absolutely obviously going to be world class and if he’s available we will be way down the pile to sign him.

It's annoying, and the same mentality that gave Werner another loan.
Surely the point of a loan is not only to fill a gap in the squad but it's a good way to assess if the player would be a good option for the club for a longer term. I mean if it's not working out, you just say thanks for the loan and goodbye.
It's a bit like giving a car a test run, finding out it's not suitable, and then purchasing it. I can only think the club are trying to keep good relations with Bayern, maybe it's a way of having first refusal on players they don't need. I can't think of any other reason the club signed Tel.
Postecoglou said Tel would be a Spurs player the following season before Tel even kicked a ball on his loan half season.
Yeah maybe wait for Samu in the summer
What’s Savinho actually shown though? He would be another Punt , if we are shopping at City get Marmoush
Well maybe the club want to get him in before another team gazumps but it would probably mean we have 3 CFs until summer, plus Muani.
The problem is, if you wait to the summer, you’re gonna have competition for him. Someone’s gonna be needing a striker, and the market’s not exactly flush with available players.
If the club really feel he’s the one for us, just go get him now. January’s not a great window to buy players in, but is a way to get a jump on teams ahead of the summer, as most don’t like to spend big money at this time of year.
If it pushes Solanke down the pecking order, then so be it. He can’t expect us to just wait in the hope that he’ll get fit at some point. Likewise with Richy and Muani, if it puts their noses out of joint, then they should’ve done better when they had the opportunityx
Everyone has it in for Frank, which I get. Performances have been awful. However, what retains my faith in him somewhat, is that he’s seen through players like Johnson and Tel.
To get Marmoush, we'd need to make him the 2nd highest paid player in the League.
You pay that for an absolute stone cold guarantee. A 30 league goal/assist a season man.
He'd need to earn double Harry Kane and Heung Min-Son ever did with us.
That's before even speaking to City about a fee (£70m plus).
We're talking about a £200m outlay on a player that's done about as much in this League as Kevin Schade or Nick Woltemade.
Oh, who would still then be being fed scraps from the shite we have behind and next to him.
Until this is fixed we aren't going to experience some magic goal injection from ANY striker.
......And with BJ now on the out we've even less potential goal threat on the break.
Hes juves best player, they are building the team around him and he has loads of teams interested in him. Can't see how we make that one happen
That is a lot of wages , I just don’t see anything in Savinho that says he is anything more than a prospect , and if rumours are true we was offering a small fortune to try and get him in the last window.
If we are breaking our transfer record I don’t want it to be on another punt , we need someone that can come in from day 1 and make an impact - obviously thats easier said than done
I think the price of Savinho will have dropped considerably from the summer.
I mentioned the other day his numbers are nowhere as bad as made out when you take them in minutes he's played rather than appearances.
21 G/A in 48 appearances I think it is.

I want whichever player is best suited to long aimless balls forward
United have been writing off flops for decades.
Ekitike has been decent. Woltemade seems okay so far.
We go and blow £80m on a player who has no history you know full well he flops.
Vinai is obviously trying to follow in Levy's footsteps with all the charity work
Agree in part re Johnson.... but he sanctioned Tel
EPL: 42 app / 2239min / 1G / 12A
.....And that's with the comfortable footing of the entire ManC machine around him.
Whereas he'd be expected to come here and elevate us.
Yeah, bringing in players from bottom of La Liga is gonna push us forward.
Did he, though?
Or was it thrust upon him.
Or a short time frame to decide.
