A signing like Ben Yedder would be positive for me to feel we are going to finally move away from hoof ball. 
Ben Yedder | Monaco set to activate release clause?
- Thread starter FootyGirl88
- Start date
Just get him and sell Lukaku and Sanchez, I don't think we will loss anything in quality, yet we will be load with more cash for other buys.
Actually, you do have a good point there.
My reservation about Koulibaly was because he is already 28 and we wouldn't recoup anything like the £100m needed to sign him...
Ben Yedder scores a header, the lad is a commentators dream
Would be a smart signing for a decent fee. Would add to our build up play, and if we sign someone better next year then he’d probably be happy coming off the bench.
It's interesting how low-profile his career has been before Sevilla. I think he was scoring consistently for Toulouse in his last couple of seasons, yet his name was barely mentioned anywhere.
He would be a downgrade on Lukaku. Had a great season last year and knows where the goal is but overall he's definitely a level below Lukaku.
I just want to be able to say "he's scored a Ben Yedder" when he heads it in.
I've already said it.
I've already said it.
He scores whenever I see him play
Sign ffs
Sign ffs
He would be a good stop gap signing until someone absolutely top class becomes available. The kind of signing we should have made instead of forcing ourselves to commit to one of Lukaku or Morata.
It’s hard to imagine he’d be a worse fit than Lukaku, who is just a lump.
his movement and awareness inside the box is very good. Would fit in quite well at united
As "stopgap", is he superior to Lukaku?
You used stopgap and superior in the same sentence what are you trying to say?
we need players who can finish and if Yedder is available fo 20-30m then it's a no brainer
He looks amazing on the highlight videos
Great dribbling and a bit of a bull in the way he shrugs people off and rides challenges. I've not seen him play much but if he consistently brings that to the table then I'd just sign him anyway. He'd be a great foil for our wide attackers and midfielders to work off.

I know comparisons don't really work, but he reminds me of Suarez so much.
With that buy out clause why the need to sell first. We need serious competition and Rashford is clearly not a very good CF yet. If Lukaku doesnt go this summer he will surely go next. Martial, Yedder and Rashford as a three would be a handful and Pogba if staying would have more options and less need to hold on to the ball too long. Plus signing him would allow us to send Greenwood out on a year loan in the championship etc to get good experience ready for the following season.
We haven't got the money to do luxurious things like that, people seem to think £100 m budget is laughable, but I bet it's about right (net), so with £50 m + already committed, and with a CB & CM an absolute minimum requirement still, then you can see why this would be low priority whilst Lukaku is looking unlikely to be sold.
Personally, I never like this fascination with loaning our best academy players out. Like the other poster said, I doubt we move for Ben Yedder unless Lukaku departs. I think Greenwood will get a fair few games next season.
Yes you are probably correct. I just can't grasp how little funds we can have when after Fellaini sale we had a spend of about 60m last season. Surely we can shift at least Darmian this summer also and I can see us going wihout a CB signing. Bruno (I'm not enthused by Longstaff) and Yedder I would be happy with and pray our CBs do a better job this season. We arent winning anything that's for sure so maybe just maybe with more goals in the team and no Ashley Young we can get that 4th spot and then go for a CB & RW next summer.
I wouldn't mind that at all, I just dont want him hanging around like Chong and Gomes last season and getting about 100 minutes all season. Its pointless.
Mason, Chong and Gomes are teenagers. They're training with Manchester United Men's team. They've played in the champion's league. This year they'll probably play in the Europa league.
Not sure they're getting treated that roughly.
Solkjaer's easing them in slowly I'd say.
I think oles made it clear he really likes Greenwood, name checked him a few times. Not so sure on Chong/gomes unfortunately, I feel like pereira they might struggle to progress without a loan.
What's his overall play like?
French Tevez, tough but not as physical. Better teeth.
I don't think it is rough treatment either I just believe it doesnt matter how much you train with first team if your not getting significant game time in a mens league. Championship is a good place to go as very competitive and some strong teams. I think had Pereira gone on loan there he would be a stonger player now, the technical side of Pereira back then and Chong, Gomes, Greenwood now is already evident.
Greenwood, it wouldn't be so bad I guess staying as Ole would no doubt have played him more had we not gone into freefall chasing top 4 but yes Chong and Gomes did their year with first team and got some minutes now they need to go out and play a lot more. Signing on Mata is a clear indication Ole does not have faith in them yet to play often. I hope they all make it with us and we dont end up losing them on a free. Does Gomes only have a year left on his contract?
And as for Yedder I do like what I see of him and maybe Inter do find a way of getting Lukaku, but they will have to do it prior to 8th August.
Haha, thanks. I'd definitely take that.
I have a feeling Ole will go with a 4222 next season.
Would he and Rashford work well together?
I think he can but the issue is whether Rashford's composure improves. The stats like assist may not reflect Yedder's contributions.
A frontline of Rashford, Martial and anchored by Yedder would be quite interesting if we can get Martial to provide more movement off the ball.
I'd do this too.
Thin the issue is selling Lukaku and Sanchez. It's starting to look like we're stuck with them.
I agree with you. In my opinion, all three should be getting games for us next season. Well Gomes and Greenwood certainly.
@André Dominguez Ben Yedder literally scored 30+ goals last season so how is he not a "30 goals striker" ?
Think we'll reach an agreement with Inter for Lukaku. Sanchez could be a problem, though.
Sebastien Haller would be a better signing.
I'd rather spend 20m more and get Aubameyang, who is at least a tier above.
i disagree. Aub is older and not better in my opinion
Aren’t la arse looking for 80 million for him? Plus he’s a pace player and getting to that age where it starts to drop off.
He made a standout season this year, and I keep my opinion.
Check his career and you'll agree.
For that 35- 45m bracket I probably prefer Haller, but would be happy with Yedder. Very good allrounder and not many better players available that can be picked up for 35m
