Mirth yeah. I think he scored 8 in 20 starts last year. Put that way, even on a top team like Bayern, and that’s exciting. It lines up with Sesko at a similar age.

    Fair point from his point of view and at least shows he is considering carefully where he goes. At Chelsea they have Neto, Sancho Madueke and to a lesser extent Palmer, Nkunku and Felix as well. What is the point from his point to go on Bayern's bench potentially to Chelsea's? He clearly needs minutes and at Arsenal he'll get plenty of those. Even when Saka is back lets be honest Martinelli's spot needs to be under more pressure than it currently is.

      JazzG spurs could rival us for playing time but at Utd there’s too much competition also

          Sicario2 - Tier 1 Those two clubs are a shambles so would probably be better for him to stay at Bayern or go to another club in Germany/Spain than there.

          Sounds we are very keen but want some kind of option or permanent deal which Bayern are resisting, as the window goes on hopefully their stance will change.

            I really like the look of Tel. He's tall, quick, has good technique and can strike a ball well. He's definitely nowhere near the finished article clearly at 19 so I do think that we should be very careful in how he's viewed in the short term (if we were to get him). But I'd much rather give minutes to someone like him than Sterling and I do think that he's capable of contributing right away - just nowhere near the impact of someone like Cunha or Mbeumo. I also like his versatility in that he could potentially give some minutes at CF due to his size and skillset, as well as offer a different profile than someone like Havertz or Sesko. It may just be due to his size and style but he does remind me a bit of Leao before he really kicked on - a tall inside winger with dribbling skills, pace and some power.

            It would be great if we could get an option to buy permanently because I think his value is only going to go up and he'd be a great option to have next year. But even if it's just a straight loan, we need bodies and I'd rather roll the dice with him than Sterling personally.

              Paul O Keefe is very reliable re Spurs but not sure of his Utd links

                United is lord of the fucking flies.

                Sicario2 - Tier 1 Why would he not just go to Chelsea then you'd think? Who knows, like you say that guy is reliable for Spurs but dunno about Man Utd.

                For some reason I thought Tel was around 21/22 years old, didn't realise he is still 19.

                Looks like he is keeping options open and wants to actually play.

                    JazzG Tet should show him a picture of Sterling

                        That one has come out of the blue? I don't know how reliable this guy is for transfer news but he is pretty reliable for youth players and for Chelsea.

                        Major departure from our usual profile of player. Calling bullshit

                        Secret Scout knows about as much as you or me. Also £60m for a 29 year old tier 2 striker. Wow

                          Is secret scout Lord Dula’s burner account by any chance? 🤣

                          Claudius Thing about him is he rarely talks about transfers. Good for info on youth players so he is well connected in the sport.

                          I'm not entirely sure about this as well, I like Watkins but the age and fee does seem a bit high.
