Has he suffered in the same way? I don’t have any idea of his injury recordAgain. It must be repeated. Again and again until it sticks.
Is he better than Ighalo? Yes. Are we breaking the bank and our wage structure for him like Sanchez? No
Is it too long or too short a deal? No. It's a 1 year with option for 1 more. We can let go if he flops.
He is a decent upgrade and replacement for Ighalo who will be leaving in Jan. We had concerns with squad depth, it is getting addressed now.
Same first 11 as last season. A slightly stronger bench which hopefully Ole can call upon much more often this season
As for match fitness, Ighalo leaves in Jan. We will probably have him ready in about a month. There really is no rush, here.
My only concern is injuries. Hopefully we manage him well like how SAF managed RvP.
At a merely superficial glance, his final season with PSG was quite bad. Someone posted his record here a few pages back.Has he suffered in the same way? I don’t have any idea of his injury record
All hinges on the wages and agent fees as long as they are sensible it’s an improvement for the season on the squad. Far more confident of Cavani coming on and scoring than Ighalo.Again. It must be repeated. Again and again until it sticks.

How is that anything close to being a positive, if our goal for this season was to close the gap to City and especially Liverpool?Same first 11 as last season. A slightly stronger bench which hopefully Ole can call upon much more often this season
Well I’ve just check my replies and you haven’t but let’s leave it now, it’s all very boring.Yeah, well I definitely answered everything that you are trying to portray that I haven't. I replied to you and other posters as well, I don't have to repeat myself or we end up going in circles, debating the same shite every day.

Can't remember a signing I've been less excited about. Including Ighalo.
So 12 important goals is the bet.... Hmm, I might take that offer.Something like four

If we are fighting for 3rd and 4th again, it makes a bit of sense, though even some of our rivals for these spots seem to have strengthened more than us.

For the purposes of the bet any goal is important....No, Larsson scored four in total. Can’t remember how many of them you would class as “important” though.
Have you forgotten about Rojo already?Can't remember a signing I've been less excited about. Including Ighalo.

I don't think challenging the top 2 ever came into the conversation in the board room. The gap is simply too big to close in one year. I'm pretty sure the aim is to get top 4 again. And the first 11 probably has a decent shout at that. The main concern, as we saw last season, is lack of squad depth. No rotation and concerns about injuries.How is that anything close to being a positive, if our goal for this season was to close the gap to City and especially Liverpool?

I'm sure there is a long list. Half of them are nowhere to be seen. We need a search party for some of themHave you forgotten about Rojo already?
When you’re having to put in he’s better than Ighalo twice you are kinda short on positivesAgain. It must be repeated. Again and again until it sticks.

You might care to expand on your thought so maybe ?Never read so much bollocks in my life.
Get someone like Ziyech that can cover both RW and CAM, proper left footed attacking player, who would also be the natural successor to Mata. Get a LB similar to Telles, someone to give balance to the squad an provide a proper attacking outlet from the full back position. Get a young talented specialist DM to be the Matic and understudy, leaving the striker position for last if anything was available and we could afford it, if not, look for a stop gap in January until we look for proper targets for next summer.Well I’ve just check my replies and you haven’t but let’s leave it now, it’s all very boring.

This is how it went down - Mourinho said how the recruitment works at Old Trafford there is a database of players and for each position you will have choice A, B, C, D. The club tries to secure primary target A, or B and so on and so forth.When you’re having to put in he’s better than Ighalo twice you are kinda short on positives
That's all good and true, to be fair, but a majority of our fanbase expects Ole to challenge Liverpool and City this season, if that doesn't happen, they'd want his head for sure as it's his second full season.I don't think challenging the top 2 ever came into the conversation in the board room. The gap is simply too big to close in one year. I'm pretty sure the aim is to get top 4 again. And the first 11 probably has a decent shout at that. The main concern, as we saw last season, is lack of squad depth. No rotation and concerns about injuries.
These signings, Donnie, Edinson, Telles, they smack of building up squad depth.
My remaining concern now, is lack of options for centerback. One long term injury or covid19 infection to Maguire, and I think we might just be in trouble. *touchwood*
But I think our squad is already too big, as Damien showed. We have something like 27 players for 25 slots. We really need to let go of some players.
Glenn Murray is cheap and better than Ighalo if those are the only requirements of a striker for Man Utd in 2020
Totally agree. Rumors coming out now indicate they lowered their demands and it is within wage structure. Something between 155k and 200k or something like that.All hinges on the wages and agent fees as long as they are sensible it’s an improvement for the season on the squad. Far more confident of Cavani coming on and scoring than Ighalo.
For sure. My main concern, after this, is getting Telles and another centerback. Leave Sancho for next season and pray we get CL again.good points tombom.
A good signing but we still really need other areas addressing.
Agreed. I don't see why not.I have a sneaky feeling this might end well. An experienced head fir the lads to learn from with a proven track record, on a short term deal? May as well give it a go.
Please feel free to ignore my posts, then.Never read so much bollocks in my life.
Wikipedia lists Larsson as 3 goals in 13 appearances (i think mostly subs). 1 match winner I think was in CL.No, Larsson scored four in total. Can’t remember how many of them you would class as “important” though.

Good post bud, I gave up tooI’m still waiting for you to say who you would have brought in this window? Don’t think you’ve answered anyone’s questions in response to yours, just tried to shout down anyone who might think this is a decent short term signing.
Also you say play Rashford or Greenwood as CF if Martial is injured, who do you play in their positions? Lingard? James? Personally I think Cavani at CF and Rashford and Greenwood in their positions is much stronger than the alternative. Answer my questions or stop responding to me, I really don’t care.
Sophisticated pieces of writing? It’s a football forum, I don’t come on here to spend time writing sophisticated responses to you going overboard with the negativity if things don’t pan out the way you wanted. It’s your choice to jump on the media campaign to spin everything as negative as possible and believe everything you read on the Internet about deals they have no idea about what is being discussed. Fill your boots pal. I won’t live my life that way.
I’m sure nearly everyone is underwhelmed about our transfer window, we have glaring holes in the squad but that doesn’t mean we can’t improve on other areas if we think it’s the right thing to do.
Another tw@t on the ignore listTotally agree. Rumors coming out now indicate they lowered their demands and it is within wage structure. Something between 155k and 200k or something like that.

Great and informative post.
Keep it up!
Great to see you like-minded fellows gather together to wank each other off.Good post bud, I gave up too
Cavani may do well but it’s not a long term solution by any stretch. Another desperate last minute deal to try and paper over the cracks of another mismanaged, failed transfer window.
It’s become the norm now for our club so nobody should be surprised really. We’re a mess.
