Mourinho Presser
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
Did he say Shaw out till end of year?
No way is Shaw out till December or he would be signing a left back too.
More Zlatan 
He might do?
It's obviously Lukaku if we paid more for him than Real wanted for Morata.
Wish we go back for him later in the window, 2 strikers is not enough IMO
Technically we have 3 (4th would be the return of Ibra).
Is Stone having a mare with his tweeting or something?
Damn, I thought I read he could be back by start of September.
That does suggest Mourinho sees Martial as more of a forward rather than a wide option.
Well Jamie you said yourself back in May that Jose was obsessed with Lukaku.
I reckon/hope he'll be back sooner.
Yeah, technically. But Martial played only the Burnley away game as a striker. Dont think the boss trusts him enough.
We still have interest? Or is that Jose's poor English?
We would certainly play Martial there before buying yet another striker.
Pretty sure Shaw is coming back sooner. Just two days ago there was news in every newspaper that he might be fit for season opener.
Yea. Else we need a backup wingback. Reckon many top teams could play 3-5-2 this season.
Yea, read something along the lines. Just that it would be before the CL campaign.
If he really said that then it's stupid if we don't get another LB. None of our LB cover are good enough at attacking and to wait till December is ridiculous.
Yep, hard to believe we're not in for some cover. Although I hear Varela is back ?
Yeah, if somehow we manage to go through the season without having any injury to Lukaku, then there might be a possibility of signing griez next summer. That certainly wont happen if we get Morata now. But giving a serious thought to it, one injury to Lukaku and we could really struggle.
Unless we're changing shape and playing wing backs, which would mean Martial could do a job there along with Darmian and Blind.
Martial at wingback is an awful idea.
