I'm guessing Antony will blossom (just turned 23, our manager is smarter than me and loves him, 16 caps for Brazil, works hard defensively and has skill) and one of Amad or Pellistri should end up a quality backup. I'm way more worried about Casemiro and Varane not having backups I trust and our RBs looking average too often (Dalot) or fatally flawed (Wan-Bissaka when he looks like a pacier Arbeloa).
Potential striker signings (who aren't named Højlund)

Yes, I'm not saying greenwood didn't do it. Maybe try reading properly before writing that. I'm simply pointing out that people don't just automatically assume one is innocent after not being proved guilty. Nor in Greenwood's case where it's obvious what he did, and despite his partner's forgiveness, want to forgive him too.
Goldstein being a teasing fecker on Talkshite,claims Utd will sign a well known striker before window closes. Says that he also called Martial in 2015 before it broke here
Literally came on to see if anyone else heard this.
“World class striker” coming.
I genuinely can’t think of many available that would be at a reasonable price.
He should say an actual name or stfu. We can all make up non-binding stories to seem like we know more than we actually do.
He's a WUM, says shit to keep you tuned in.
Ah, I think I misread, apologies.
Yeah, fingers crossed re Antony, and I agree with your other points. I guess not all solvable at once though.
We’re gonna get linked to Neymar
Probably applying common sense;
- There was numerous reports early on in the window saying we wanted two strikers (young + experienced)
- There should be room for thag considering Ronaldo have left
- Would make sense to take some pressure of Højlund.
- Considering the competitive nature of the PL, relying on Rashford, Højlund/Sancho and Antony would make us too vulnerable.
(I also think Neymar could be an option. There was also alot of talk about EtH looking for a flexible forward. Neymar could fit that bill.)
“A womaniser” JFC. What a repulsive take.
It’s fine if a footballer isn’t a nice bloke; like you said they’re not moral guidance. But at the same time they’re massive role models and you have to take that into consideration, and we also shouldn’t be rewarding reportedly criminal behaviour with a luxurious life.
There’s a difference between a young rich lad being a womaniser, and someone forcing his partner to have sex with him and battering them.
Neymar is a possibility. Combine him and Martial and you may just get a player available for the full season. I think we’ll use the Mctominay money to sign Kudus though.
Hasn't he agreed a deal with Brighton?
Totally agree what about Toney/Watkins
Ajax and Brighton have agreed a fee since early July. Kudos hasn’t agreed terms though - he’s waiting for something.
Erik wouldn't want the toxicity that comes from him being on the most money at the club
Can’t see there being many takers on his current wages. I think PSG will have to pay him off much like we’ll have to with Maguire. Neymar on loan with his wages subsidised could be tremendous fun.
Would they be willing to subsidise though
I will actually accept apologies when you actually stop referring to him as its not allowed on here until the club has made their decision.
You could arguably classify Toney as near world class based on last season. Watkins has his limitations but is a good PL forward. I wouldn’t mind either especially for adding some depth to our striker options.
Posts that feel political but aren't
Toney with his 14 open-play goals near world class? Oh boy.
Might as well call Callum Wilson world class
Genuinely mush for brains if you believe that. Would probably heartily cheer on Adam Johnson if he was banging in goals.
Womaniser? He was not charged with being a womaniser as you well know. What an incredibly odd characterisation. Worryingly so.
He was referring to Mason Greenwood coming back……just waffle talk
You were listening same time as me. He has dropped hints in the past and got it wrong though.
Not in a million years they rate him around 150 mill apparently so you're giving them around half the cash and a problem player who might not be upto speed till Xmas.
Jesus it's getting close to the point of not wanting to log on to this forum anymore.
The amount of repulsive takes I've seen on here over the last month or 2 has been incredible.
@OverratedOpinion best not to quote such posts. Makes the job of mods to clean up harder! Terrible post (the one you quoted) especially as it's been made clear repeatedly not to discuss him!
I generally wouldn't but as a mod qouted it and had their say on the page before I assumed it falls on the side of acceptable to have my say.
My sources are saying otherwise.
Uh.. surely you're not suggesting there's no difference between being a womanizer and MG's actions...
Current world class strikers are Haaland, Kane, Lewandowski, Mbappe(not really a striker) can't think of anyone else. I say he is lying.
Would you mind sharing the source thank you ?
Well known, not the same as world class
Well known, not the same as world class
Here I was thinking world class means the best players in their position at a period in time.
The French have loads of world class strikers who are currently available as they seem to be in between gigs at the moment
Then you might as well stop watching football altogether. In fact don’t you dare sing about Georgie Best or celebrate the iconic 99 fa cup goal against Arsenal. What’s repulsive is the hypocrisy.
