Senne Lammens: A Panic Buy or Hidden Gem?…
In a twist more surprising than a cat riding a unicycle, Manchester United’s final day transfer spectacle saw them grabbing Senne Lammens, apparently leaving the chase for Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez in the rearview mirror. The £18.2 million move for the Belgian goalkeeper seems to have been fueled by more panic than a cat in a room full of cucumbers. Former United keeper Ben Foster, famous for using goal nets as hammocks, has questioned Lammens’ ability to thrive at the grand old club.
Ben Foster hilariously suggested on his Fozcast podcast that United probably made this move faster than a squirrel crossing a busy highway, highlighting a lack of detailed research. Fans’ fingers are crossed tighter than a pair of jeans after Thanksgiving, hoping Lammens will bring stability to the Old Trafford net. While the Belgian star boasts decent stats from Royal Antwerp, the hope is that his performance won’t mirror a fish out of water when the pressure is on. Meanwhile, Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer joined Foster, fanning the flames of skepticism about this sudden acquisition.
