We are absolutely fecked if De Gea stays as well. It’s not just about soft goals he lets in, it’s about the massive number of goal scoring opportunities he creates out of nowhere for our opponents. I’m sure there are many budget options that would at least not do that. Raya should be available for an affordable fee.
So we are going to give De Gea a huge contract then keep him on the bench?
Basically "I have no response on what is said so I'm gonna try to look cool".
We scored 57 goals last season under Ole / Ralf. This was our lowest scoring season in PL history.
Currently have 49 goals with 4 games left....

"Ole Gunnar Loser", what's wrong with you? Grow up, you sad little manchild.
It wasn't. We scored 49 goals in 2015/2016 season under Van Gaal.
He's got loads of credit but his obsession with Wout the donkey is really beginning to raise question marks for me.
Did we? I'm sure I heard pundits saying it was our lowest last season.
Happy to admit I was wrong if I'm mistaken
My thoughts exactly. People should also not underestimate the effect of losing both Varane and Martinez at the same time through injury.
Questions have to be asked about the away form.
Doesn't necessarily mean it's a huge contract. Just pointing out that nothing is really a foregone conclusion at this point.
That DdG calamity had feck all to do with rest. Luke Shaw playing volleyball in the 90+ didn’t either.
They better pray we win by 3 next week if this excuse is to fly.
Must be a Dutch thing. Do they hate scoring goals or something?
I didn’t actually think our attack could ever be as bad again as it was that season under LVG. But we’ve given it a mighty good go this season.
Escalate straight to an inquest.
Martial didn’t have a good game against Brighton, the only back up he has if he drops him is Wout. The club didn’t give him any funds in January to buy a striker.
You're correct.
Still awful we have to score 8 just to match Ole and Ralf collapse season though isn't it?
Its not ETH's fault we got Weghorst in Jan. Imagine talking about getting top 4 and getting a burnley reject on loan to cover martial? What a sorry state of affairs. There is no way on earth Ten Hag wanted this. No chance. Its not Wouts fault either. People suddenly forgiven the owners? This is on them. Our lack of depth is criminal
Put Rashford centrally and put Garnacho or Pellistri on the flank. Try Bruno as false number 9 and Eriksen behind him. Try some new fecking things instead of just throwing the same shit at the opponent waiting for it to work one day. Maybe these won't work but at least you get credit for trying.
Pelestrini and Rashford as striker is 1000 times better than Wout.
The only players in this squad whose thoughts I really care about are Lisandro, Shaw, Casemiro, Varane and Bruno. Every one else is replaceable.
So he didn't tell the club to spend whatever it takes on Antony then. Facts are he should have looked at cheaper RW then allows him to either buy ST last summer or hold out until January.
This club shouldn't be buying cheaper options to afford a ST. Penny pinching? We have the money to buy who we need. You know this
If WW starts again I will seriously question his sanity.
HE IS feckING USELESS
Granted martial is the alternative but he has to mix it up neither WW or martial should be on the pitch again this season.

Hmm you seem so sure of that
Attack the post not the poster, you daft twat.
Ye it’s a bit like the zaha/moyes situation but obviously opposite. He didn’t get played for a specific reason where as ETH loves playing Weghorst for some kind of reason we don’t know about.
Quite hilarious how some here were confident of the 3 points against West Ham and others confident we'll secure top 4 despite Liverpool being but a point away from us.
We were far from convincing in our last win where we scraped a 1-0 win against Villa. A match where they were at times criminally handed so much space and time on the ball that it seemed an equalizer was coming. That and we have a donkey up front and we expect it to score goals. I'll take a half crocked Martial. He may may be a tad lazy but at least he'd put a chance away in dangerous areas if given the opportunity.
We are not making top 4 unless we get very lucky with other results. The way we're playing at the moment doesn't instill any confidence we'll secure a champions league spot.

No, I haven't, but we're not as bad as people are making out to be.
Yeah with a number 9 vs this year without....
Whats your point if its meant to be a negative one?
So it's playing the devil you know philosophy then.
Who is to blame for that? He gave the club the okay to spend 85m on a winger who hasn't worked out at all. Maybe he should have spent it more wisely and bought some cheaper players who could actually contribute
How does publicly telling the world you want to keep him and for him to sign a new contract support De Gea, if you are not acting exactly like that behind the scenes and entering good faith negotiations?
Yeah there is some serious egg on faces
Yeah hopefully he has had the word behind scenes that what's being said in public is not the truth and he's going in the summer
Didn't ten Hag also say Ronaldo was a big part of his plans before getting binned? We are at the end of the season and this new contract still hasn't been signed. I'm choosing to assume that even if De Gea does renew (for one year on massively reduced wages), he will be kept on to aid the transition (and provide competition) but that we'll still bring in a new goalkeeper in the summer.
Costa under Qatari ownership please
Ronaldo was still part of his plans until he committed arson and burnt every last bridge. People forget that after handling the Ronaldo situation well, he fecked it by repeatedly playing Ronaldo for 90 minutes, handed him the captain’s armband to boot, and then had Ronaldo embarrass him and the entire club with that interview. It was Ronaldo who dumped us.
This might be an excuse if he didn’t play Wout as a no.10 with Eriksen & Bruno were on the pitch.
I kind of got the January transfer of Wout but once he failed emphatically as a striker his chances should have been limited. We got away with it in Barca, where he missed a great chance but ran around a lot & he’s been living off that game since.
He’s symptomatic of the issues we’ve had in the last decade, short term & no upside.
