Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard. We were looking for a striker who can have an immediate impact. But Tel is still developing and it’s questionable whether he will be able to jump right in as a top level forward.

So I can see why we didn’t go for him in that context. And I can see why he would tell turn down the rolling clusterfuck that is Man United.

But I’m still perplexed why he would go to the spuds. He have probably been better off staying in Germany for now, and moving elsewhere in the Summer.
