Not sure James and Lingard are the best options for RW the latter certainly has no business being a pro footballer
MEN: United targeting 4 players for next summer
- Thread starter Adnan
- Start date
Lingard has to be shipped out. Loan or transfer, just get him far away from here as possible.
I think Pogba will be gone next summer which will free up some extra funds which could maybe be spent towards Sancho.
We won’t get £10M for Matic as he’s going to be a free agent in the summer. He’ll be gone for free.
Zaha for 50 million
He's shit
I'd sooner spend that on Darcie glazers mansion as both would have the same impact on improving the squad.
Yet more often than not puts in big performances against the top teams and one of the prime reasons Palace manage to get results against them...Same thing Mane did at Southampton, while being inconsistent against the smaller teams, players like these need a step up.
Zaha has only ever scored 10 in a season, once. Mane did 10 then 15 in consecutive seasons. Zaha hasn't scored a goal this season either, he's so overrated it's strange.
Need someone to run our midfield on the ball, number 1 most important thing.
Nice stat, is that the benchmark? Funny how you missed out the 9 he scored the season before that, also all the assists he gets. And its not a direct comparison i was making. 50m for a proven PL winger, is not expensive. Best case scenario is Lingard can be included in the deal...
Exactly this. We have Fred and McTominay, who are fantastic off the ball. Dynamic and get stuck in, but what we lack is someone to run our midfield, as you quite rightly said.
Question is, who is out there that 1) has the ability 2) is attainable?
Not an easy player to come by with a high Level of talent.
Is Ole on some mad quest to replicate the nationalities from the -99 CL winning side? Get all the english talent in, preferably home grown. We already have a swede and a welsh wizard. We're being linked to a norwegian striker in Haaland. We'll be linked with a norwegian centre back soon, maybe Kristoffer Ajer? Ole probably has nightmares about us selling Daley Blind and Lee O'Connor. As we speak we are furiously scouting for an irish player and someone from Trinidad.
Well yeah, double digit goals is a normal benchmark we need for our players. Bear in mind he was playing through the centre. Sorry, he got 5 that year and 3 the year he got 9.
Tbf, I really don't think he's the type of player we should be aiming for. We obviously rate him differently.
I feel he's better off staying a big fish in a small pond, he's decent but not great. At any rate I don't see him wanting to come back after his first spell at the club.
If we can get him at a cut price then we could do worse than Zaha, but hopefully we are setting our sights higher.
