Burnley have signed Weghorst. A guy who has scored 20 plus goals in his last two seasons in Germany before this one and 18 the one before that.

Burnley were in for Sardar before going for Weghorst , missing out on their first choice. It is a transfer from a league he is playing in soon. It shows that there is no guarantee a move to a top club even if you perform well in a top 5 league and that a player who has done that didn’t get that move. So shows how well Sardar has done to get a move to Leverkusen from the Russian League.Originally posted by Nika89 View PostComment

I read that the officials of both teams confirmed it was 2 millions that was paid for Sardar. Zenit agreed because they already have a striker, he could join the team if Zenit pays some money....... so the best for all was this way.Comment

You're right about azmoun doing well to move to leverkusen from zenit.Originally posted by Medzdidz View Post
Not every player will move to a top club after scoring goals because there are only so many spots on those teams and many great strikers out there.
Weghorst is also couple years older than azmoun (29) and top teams usually aim for younger talent they can rely on for years / earn Profit from via a future transfer.
Let's also consider the high wages offered to him by Burnley, which I'm most certain are significantly higher than the wages he earns at Wolfsburg.
Scoring a lot doesn't guarantee a big move. There are multiple factors that influence these transfers.Comment

Some of the points you made there were what I was trying to make but you worded it better 🙂Originally posted by sam20 View PostComment

The main reason why Weghorst didnt find a better club and why Wolfsburg actually wanted to get rid of him in first place, is that he is unvaccined and not willing to change that.
Sad world, but unfortuantely an unvaccined player will cause too much trouble for most clubs, especially those who play in EL/CL and therefore regulary travel internationally.Comment

I don't doubt that Weghorst will be successful for Burnley. In my opinion, Weghorst is a better profile for the type of striker Burnley were looking for than Azmoun.Comment

when can we realistically expect him to get a run in the first team..? probably not for 2-3 more weeks until they whip our doghboy in shape and in tune with his teammates..?Comment

Sky Sports in the UK has live German football. They show most of the games on the SkyBet app with commentary too - commentators are usually decent too as they get ex German players.Comment

Here's a nice comment from a Russian fan (google translated):
Great player, funny, friendly and kind person. It's a pity to lose one of the best forwards in the history of the club, but that's life and there is nothing eternal in it.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for these three years with Zenit, for every goal, assist, which gave the club victories, titles and joy to every fan. Good luck in Bayer and only forward to progress and European titles! Show everyone what you can do! Thanks again for everything
