He'd batter the fucking lot of them 🤣🤣

Sorry if this is an obvious question but who is "CF"?

Center forward

Louis Moult apparently.

If he stays fit, he’ll bang in the goals.

 
Is he match fit now? Fucking needs to be

For me this is monumental in it's stupidity.

Utd haven't signed a Striker in OVER A YEAR. And now when Goodwin finally decides to sign one we sign a boy who has been injured on and off for FIVE YEARS. He's scored 3 goals in 4 seasons ffs.

Yes, he was a very decent player a few years back, but then so were guys like GMS and Leigh Griffiths, and i wouldn't sign either of them also.

I just can't believe that after two months that is Goodwin's big signing. Could at least have signed him early doors and made sure he got a full pre-season under his belt given his injury history.

Absolute nonsense. Goodwin doesn't have a clue imo.

I mean just look at this below. Moult's injury history since season 16/17.

FFS wasn't aware he was the injury prone, just got rid of Pawlett with a similar record.

Reminds me of a funny story of my amateur football days. Playing against a team and they make a sub, guy next to me says ' fuck sake here comes Melman'. I asked why is he called Melman and he told me because he was always injured like the Giraffe in Madagascar 🤣

There is no doubt it would be a gamble to sign Moult. However players can have long periods out and come back successfully. Wilkie , Andy Webster both did OK Tannadice.
Writing a player off before he has even stepped on the park is the act of an angry man.

Wilkie retired at 29.

Webster done ok post-injury but was injured mostly in his early 20s, was young enough to bounce back. Moults post 30 now.

Not 'writing him off'. Being realistic.


 

 Wilkie played almost 100 games for UTD after being out for almost 2years. Is he not also in our Hall of Fame.
History would suggest Moult would be unlikely to return to the player he was but he has to be given a chance.

If Moult passed an independent medical then I think he'd be a decent player at this level, but he's not exactly one for future seasons.  Given his injury record, I think we'd still need back up so we are not looking at needing 3 strikers if he is one of them.  

If Goodwin thinks we only need one, then it shouldn't be a 30+ sicknote.

Not trying to dispute that he's injury prone but how the f**k did he manage to miss 488 days in one season?  🤔

People are losing their shit about Moult being injury prone

People lost their shit about United selling Levitt.

Do people know have many weeks Levitt spent injured over the two years he was at Tannadice?

No one is losing their shit, people just ain't happy. It's a forum, opinions are allowed.

 

I'm not just talking about this forum, social media is also losing their shit, I am fully aware opinions are allowed, I never once said or insinuated it wasn't, thanks for letting me know though.

People are losing their shit because he's injury prone. And that the best our recruitment team can come up with is a boy who's injury prone and scored something like 7 goals in 3 year? I hope to fuck he does a job for us and shuts pusses but after finally getting sick note Pawlett off the books the worry is we're bringing in another injury prone player who'll spend more time on the treatment table than the pitch.

Levitt was a decent player who could turn on the magic but as you say he was injured a lot. Fans are annoyed he went to Hibs and feel like he owed the club a bit of loyalty.

Personally I dont think hes a big loss. He was bang average after he signed for us on a permanent deal. He never looked like he actually wanted to be back here, puss was tripping him all the time. Just wanted the game time to get in the Wales WC squad. He was even less interested after he came back.
