Absolutely gets you more than 12 goals in 11 PL games, 19-22 year olds can be gradually phased into team and not loaded pressure on to them because senior players are hiding, for the record Wellbeck’s got one less PL goal with 6 PL goals than all our 6 striking options have combined, and Mbeumo has 1 PL goal more?

Mbeumo is a decent player and as you say, has been fairly prolific in the last couple of seasons. I wouldn't be jumping to bring him in though. Granted, Welbeck has begun thus season with a few goals, but he consistently averages around 6 league goals a season. Not someone who I'd want leading the line for us over the last couple of years.

Who would you prefer a free transfer and 2 year stop gap for wellbeck or £40m on Zirkzee when that £35-40m could go get you an elite Left wing back like Alt nouri as well?

I wouldn't have signed Welbeck under any circumstance. Whether Zirkzee proves himself to be a good signing or not remains to be seen. I would have much preferred to have moved on Rashford or Bruno. Both of them ideally. Then we could have reinvested in other areas.

I hope he continues to improve. Right now it seems there is a ceiling for him and I hope I'm wrong. That ceiling is I don't think he'll ever be consistent starter for Argentina. We'll see.

Couldn't agree less, he's one of the most productive players for a really bad team at 20 years old. He takes the wrong option and tries to do it himself at times but he can develop and learn that part of the game with experience and good coaching.

I think he looks like he has enough ability to become a consistent starter for Argentina.
