    How are you defining a 9? Sure he isn't a 9 in the mould if Cook but he frequently played as a 9 in United's youth teams. I would expect that you will play him from a wide position but as long as you aren't employing him as a target man feeding off long balls he has the attributes to be successful as a 9

    9 in the traditional sense of a big c/f , a target , even Cookie was a nine , whereas this lad should play “ across” the front three. Hence he’s not a 9 in the old sense .

    And Jatta doesn't strike me as a GA type player

    I’m on Wikipedia looking at Jatta, and was amazed to see he played in the Estonian Premier league in 2019! Don’t let 13 goals in 17 appearances get you giddy. The standard is L2 at best. Overall though, he’s got goals wherever he’s played. If we sign him for 350k - that’s gotta be the most we’ve spent since the Prem days?

    I reckon it will be more than that. The owner said he was holding out for seven figures for him last summer and triggered a years extension. Not a chance they'll settle for a third of that just 6 months later.

    X post from that silly Insider Chicken.
    He's used AI and everything.

    Looks convincing if you squint and if you don't know who he is.

    So Owen, Aguero, Dafoe etc etc aren't 9s in your eyes then? 9's aren't all target men, it's never been the case but even more so these days where tactics are more complex. When Wheatley played as a striker across United's youth levels he wouldn't generally try and battle with the CBs, he would come short, play it off quickly and then use his pace to run behind looking to be played in.

    They aren’t target men in the old meaning of a target man.
    Walsall tried to use him as a nine even in his first outing at VP , we all saw it . Saddler gave up on him and from memory only played half a dozen games Jan - May . Northampton haven’t played him as a nine rather than him roaming and not an obvious front line target .

    I tell you what we have introduced with the new guys..... energy and youth and speed. The way we started at the beginning of the season tactics....onwards

    Could be good news as it disrupts another promotion chasers team. Goalkeeper Sharman-Lowe is set to be recalled by Chelsea from his loan at Bolton this window with a CH move seemingly lined up.

    Bolton fans are fuming at the news, they are bringing in some young keeper on a permanent move instead. Rumour online that Portsmouth are looking at trying to take Cozier-Duberry on loan for the rest of the season, would be a massive blow to Bolton.

    They're on a poor run right now, a change may invigorate them.

    Could be a release clause....apparently he signed a 1 year extension last summer. At least it guarantees them a fee or gives them an extra 12 months of service.

    Just reading a County forum at the time, they believe it was an option triggered, rather than a new contract? Suppose no fan every really knows for sure.

    From their window thread, it sounds like the figure they think is something around the £800k and it will make their owner cave in.

    A lot of money for someone who hasn't done a lot this season.
