Bryan Mbuemo

He's more direct, but so is Garnacho. What Mbuemo has over him is physicality, which is obviously helped by his being 4 or 5 years older.
I wouldn't sell Garnacho to replace him with Mbuemo.

He's not a proven goalscorer either, he's a 10 goal a season player for a midtable team.

I don't think that makes him good enough.



What I mean is, you could see they had more to go, that they could take that step up and get better. I don't see that with Mbuemo, I think this is a good as he's going to get and that it's not good enough.

Bowen is probably a better player. Would you spend 60m on him? He's not going to get any better either.

Can almost guarantee Brentford will sell him and sign someone like Bakwa from Strasboourg and you'd have people on here saying Utd should have went for the other guy instead.

Nobody is suggesting sell Garnacho to bring in Mbeumo are they? I’ve certainly not said that?

We need some players with the experience in our attack it’s woefully lacking in that respect. The player that should be giving us that is probably leaving (Rashford) and has woefully underperformed.

Mbeumo has consistently scored around 10 goals the last 3 seasons (with this one his best so far) for context Mane scored 11 and 6 assists the season before Liverpool bit the bullet and bought him and 10 goals and 3 assist in the season before that.

I refer you to Mane’s contribution at Southampton only because you brought him up as obviously being good enough before his move. So how does Mane being a 10 goal a season for midtable or worse make him better than Mbeumo doing it other than you already know the outcome of Mane’s move (success) and don’t know the outcome of Mbeumo’s?

Mane was clearly a much better player, he had 2 good seasons in Austria and 2 more at Southampton, he was getting better and better, it was obvious that he had more to go.

I don't see the same with Mbuemo, I think he's more limited and has already more less hit his ceiling, he doesn't look like he can add much more to add to his game.

He was?

How many good seasons has Mbeumo had? 3 in the Premier League, 2 in the Championship with his output improving and his impact to his side.

I’d argue comfortably that the championship at 20 years old is more challenging than Austria too but there is little point in going down that route.

If we look at what our squad lacks its goals and verticality as well as creativity. I think Amad provides creativity and to a lesser extent goals, Mbeumo would be a great option to have.

Liverpool mange with Salah, Gakpo, Diaz, Jota and felt the need to add Chiesa too.

Out of interest who do you think is good enough for our attacking 10s?

Chiesa has played about 5 minutes all season.

Mbuemo is a good player, but for me he hasn't got enough about him to come to Utd and step it up enough. Mane clearly had that extra quality.

In the PL for me I'd be going for Cunha, he's a much better player and all round he's got more to his game.

What about Gakpo who many on here discounted as not good enough again despite my protests, or Jota, Nunez and Diaz? You can ignore the point being made if you like but you know we don’t have attacking options anywhere close to that.

We have Højlund, Zirkzee, Amad, Garnacho, Rashford and Antony. We could do with an Mbeumo instead of let’s say Antony no?

The best sides have different options in attack.

We can agree on Cunha. He’d add something.
 
The only problem buying from a team in the Prem…everyone is rich and doesn’t need to sell.

Unless he has a contract running out or Brentford need to flog a few for PSR which I’ve not heard about.

Yeah it would cost too much in this window. His contact runs out next summer apparently so maybe in this summer would be the time if he's been identified.
 
This would be such an astute and classy signing, a typical SAF signing.

People underrate his pressing and running, he really would slot in perfectly in that right 10 role with Amad as a RWB. I think he would come here and surprise people just how good he is. Reading that £40-£50m might be enough. No brainer

Jota I would have signed, very clever little player, he always pops up with goals for Liverpool. Diaz and Gakpo I didn't really know a whole pile about, but they are clearly very very good players. Nunez though, I'd take Hojlund or Zirkzee over him, he's a total spoofèr.

The idea of having options should be about about what kind of quality and different options they add, for me Mbuemo doesn't really offer enough. I'd rather sign someone who has more quality on the ball.

I don’t believe we have a player in the squad that offers anything Mbeumo does? Do you?

Lots of players offer more but that doesn't mean we pay big money for them. It's a question of whether the big fee for Mbuemo is better allocated in an alternative target. For example I think Gibbs White would be better, and Cunha too. Wolves will be one to look out for in potential relegation bargain sales.
 
Really odd how Mbuemo doesn't seem to get any flowers. Might be looking older than he is, same with Damsgaard. Would be instant upgrades on what we have in the squad and know the system.

It's misquoting or slightly mistranslating it, to the point of exaggeration.

Gathered information and could sign him before the end of the window

vs

None of the three has taken any action yet, but will monitor him until the end of the window


Centredevils sounds quite likely something could happen this window, whereas the original is a bit less dramatic, nothing happening yet, monitoring. So it could be wait to move next window unless the interested rivals get going this time.

Bidding war according to another interpretation. But no bids yet

Putting money aside, Mbuemo is a really good player that can play wide and up front, so versatile.

His goals this season are massively outperforming his xG but he's quite clinical. He would be a good signing I reckon.

I’m not saying we should. I’m just suggesting that he is the right kind of player we should sign.

We lack what he has. I don’t see many better left footed hard working vertical players.
 
To me he just looks like a classic example of a player who would get the step up to the to a bigger club and be a disappointment.
 
Hell yes. I've been banging on to friends that this is the most obvious signing any of the top sides (I know) could make.

25 as well.

This is the Mane from Southampton opportunity for me....

Get it done.

Hojlund, Amad, Bruno, Zirkzee and Garnacho have a total of 15 league goals this season.

Mbuemo alone has 13 league goals and 3 assists.

I reckon he'd find a good few minutes in this attack.

As a number 9, we need better than Mbeumo. As 10's we have have Bruno, Amad and Garnacho. Mbeumo could be one of our four options, but wouldn't be an automatic starter or someone we should be crazy about.
