I doubt we would make a first team signing on the fly like that. It has to be with a vision to him being a potential starter or important squad player. We’ve got two strikers on whom 100m odd has been spent so I don’t see another addition until we feel one of them isn’t in our plans. A midfielder , left back or winger (probably in the future once we move the duds) seems an more imminent need.
We’re like 1st or 2nd in big chances missed already this season. We definitely need a striker
Striker.
13th for big chances created last season, which is a better sample than the first two games this season.
Means very little if our attacking players don't take these opportunities.
One out and out striker in Hojlund and a Firmino-esq link up forward in Zirkzee, who I'm not expecting a great deal of goals from in the PL.
Tomorrow at 11pm I think. I wasn’t being literal in the time.
Wasnt our xG against Brighton 1.2 or something?
Well That may very well be true but at the moment I don't think United are even an option for him .
A little over a month a go he wanted Man Utd - so I'm not taking either report into consideration as much as I'd like him here haha!
That tweet is from 13th July, just in case you missed it?
Ah I get you. Just didn't want you thinking it was a tweet from today. It's definitely bollcks in my opinion. A Liverpool (or is he Arsenal?) fan wanting Utd? Nah.
As a pro that doesn't matter
Generally, yes. But wanting it is a bit different. Ole was a Liverpool fan, so was O'Shea. Terry supported United etc etc.
Course he’s a striker! However, seems to me that his best position is more withdrawn, in the sort of Bergkamp or, dare I say it, Cantona role (not saying for a minute he’ll turn out as good as those 2, but IMO the potential is there). Therefore, him and Rasmus could play together, as Zirkzee would drop deeper and make up the numbers in MF (whereas Rasmus and Toney could not, unless your planning on playing 4-4-2) although he can if required play as a number 9 and do it well. Therefore, am happy with our striker options, would rather see something done about our horrendous lack of creativity from the wings (Garnacho aside), Amad looks promising but Rashford is still terrible and I would be ecstatic never to have to have to watch the diabolical Antony or Sancho in a Utd shirt ever again!
Probably @croadyman. Got fed up of waiting for Utd to make a move and has taken matters into his own hands
He was benched quite a bit towards the end of last season too. Brentford have learned how to okay without him. In fact they’ve already bought his replacement (unfortunately injured). Clubs know Brentford want to sell.
