Get a 10 to rotate with Rooney. Sell Mata. Sign a CF. Sign two wingers.
A #9 or #10/AM? Buying around Rooney
- Thread starter Devil may care
- Start date
Ibra. Griezmann. Dembele. Plus one more winger who can be a bit cheaper if possible.
Ibra and Rooney in the same side is a no go IMO.
True.
I personally wouldn't be against that if we could get Griezmann, but I get the feeling we will add a more experienced #9 to the line-up as opposed to having so many youngsters making up our attack.
Because of Mourinho? Wouldn't surprise me either, but there aren't a lot of players out there and actually available. I wouldn't want Cavani or Higuain for example. Besides Rooney and Griezmann paired with with Martial and another young player doesn't sound too bad to me.
Even without Mourinho I'd be surprised if we didn't look to get a #9 with more experience than Martial and Rashford. I'm not a fan of Higuain or Cavani either and I think Ibra would be a mistake if Rooney is to remain, having two old players as the central attackers wouldn't suit the pace driven PL in my view.
So who else then?
-------Rashford
Martial Griezmann Mahrez
Sanches(?) Schneiderlin
Shaw LCB Smalling Fosu M
--------De Gea
I would love us to offload Rooney or commit him to the bench, my muppet boner would be fully erect if we could sign Greizmann (as a SS) and Mahrez with these two we would not need a specific #10 and I'd keep Rashford up top. I assume if Jose comes in it spells the end for Mata..?
These signings plus a new LCB and keep De Gea of course, all highly unlikely but I can dream.

That's the problem, other than Lacazette I can't really think of anyone except Morata who I rate but I know others don't. My guess is though that it will be Ibra or Cavani despite my reservations.
It depends on our new manager. If
I hope we spend money on Griezmann. Rooney, Martial and Rashford can play in the striker position.
There are other players like Aubameyang or Kane, but they are unrealistic at the moment. I think Mourinho could go for a target striker like Cavani, Lukaku or Ibra. The question is, what kind of striker would suit us better with Rooney in our team.

I think Rooney is setting up to play in the midfield 3 so even if we buy Griezmann I expect a #9 is on the cards, but the list is admittedly short on options.
I rate both of them as well, with Batshuayi they are probably the best options, if we are looking for cheaper signings. Cheap is relative though.
The other thing with 1 of those 3 is it would be easier to rotate the front 3 as there'd be no big name among our options.
Add Mahrez and we would have a proper group of attackers that should guarantee us a CL spot next season, maybe a title push.
We need at least three additions in attack. A new starting CM. Ideally, a CB and RB too, but I'd say they are less desperate.
Chris Waddle? Sorry, I don't follow..?That's where the whole idea falls down!.....Try waddle.
