Amir Hadziametovic has just posted something on Instagram that seems to be an image of his manager with the words “you are my teacher” and “thanks for everything” according to the translation.

May be completely barking up the wrong tree, but there you are.

I hope it’s for Tresor who is playing against Westerlo tonight but Belgian press states it’s for Foster.

Sure newcastleclaret93 has highlighted Foster as a potential gem. Or KRBFC. Sure one of them has.

Yes it was Newcastle

Sounds like we’ve had a bid rejected

Could be the mystery striker Andy Jones referenced

If he’s the number one target, and they’re out in Belgium, you’d think they’d want to get this one wrapped up sharpish.

Present in the Kuipje: Vincent Kompany. Come scout Westerlo striker Lyle Foster. Burnley recently saw a generous offer rejected by Westerlo.

Very good dribbler, strong and quick (I think he would arguably be our quickest player). His finishing has improved this season. I think there’s a decent player in there that could be a very good player if he keeps developing.

Central striker. I’ve seen him play a couple of times this season he tends to drift to the left when defending but central when attacking.

He’s rapid it would certainly be close to Tella. Saw him leave defenders in his dust on a few occasions this season (the thing that impressed me was he did it with the ball at his feet, his dribbling is his biggest strength imo).

From clips I’ve seen he reminds me a bit of Ndiaye at Sheff. Dribbling is silky.

Can’t honestly say it was a part of his game that stood out. But I have only seen him play on a couple of occasions. His dribbling and pace were the things that made mention him a little while back.

I would hope with both most senior members of our coaching staff being there that there is some smoke and big old blaze with it

Only seen him on youtube but he is rapid and skillful. Some quality players in that league clearly.

Looks like Tresor only got about half an hour from the bench, Onuachu played the full 90. I know very little about either, although saw Onuachu in the champions League and he looks rapid and a real threat

He looked like a decent player, but it’s a bit weird that we keep getting brought into Besiktas transfer stories. Not sure if we’re using the same agents as them or something.

It does feel a bit like our name is being used to flatter the ego of Turkish fans. “Oh look, he could have gone to England, but he chose us”.

Onuachu was linked with some of the top clubs in Europe and a move never happened last summer when he was expecting to leave. He's an absolute giant, he might be an inch taller than Weghorst.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Wed Jan 18, 2023 8:04 am

The funny thing in all of this Amir story is, Besiktas have been funded by Man United/Us from the Weghorst loan to beat us to him (if he was ever a target/if he's chose Besiktas).

It wouldn’t surprise me with that club.
