I love the optimism, but there is no way we sign both
Personally think we need to as would worry about either of them leading the line

Agree that we can't judge a Bundesliga player on their stats. But there are some good players there.
Hopefully, we are now scouting Bundesliga players properly, looking at their fundamentals, the scouts are interacting with the managers' questions, and we are probing and looking again to see precisely what strengths and weaknesses they have and where they would fit in our squad.
We don't seem to have a good track record of doing that over recent years but new regime etc.
I hope we steal a beat on Bayern for the KMJ deal, eye for an eye...
If the player is of the mindset that he wants guaranteed trophies at domestic level, guaranteed Chmps league every season and gets paid big money in the process then we cannot compete with the likes of PSG or Bayern.I hope we steal a beat on Bayern for the KMJ deal, eye for an eye...
Most competitive domestic competition he says, after city win the treble and 5 league titles in 6 seasons. Yeah, super competitiveIf the player is of the mindset that he wants guaranteed trophies at domestic level, guaranteed Chmps league every season and gets paid big money in the process then we cannot compete with the likes of PSG or Bayern.
If the player is of the mindset that he wants to play in the most competitive and best domestic competition in the world and fight for the right to play in the Chmps League and get paid big money in the process then we have a chance.
To be fair over the same period, PL has 3 teams winning the CL. So its most competitive in terms of having to play against 3 recent CL champions in the same league.Most competitive domestic competition he says, after city win the treble and 5 league titles in 6 seasons. Yeah, super competitive

It is a United problem. Not a Bundesliga problem.He's looking like another flop from the German league to be honest. We had too many of those kinds of players.

Akanji, KdB, Gündogan, Haaland…Yeah United single-handedly ruined Bundesliga greats like Werner, Havertz and Pulisic.
Werner had one purple patch season and performed in the PL like it could be expected looking at his complete BL career. Havertz should have been more consistent, I grant you that he didn't live up to his potential.Yeah United single-handedly ruined Bundesliga greats like Werner, Havertz and Pulisic.
More like United made a mistake signing that lazy wasterWerner had one purple patch season and performed in the PL like it could be expected looking at his complete BL career. Havertz should have been more consistent, I grant you that he didn't live up to his potential.
Pulisic is a great example he was signed from Dortmund's bench and still did more in the PL than the player who benched him. But that player made the mistake to move to United (Sancho)

No. It’s the Bundesliga‘s fault that United can’t scout and coach for shit. After all, no other club has success buying from there.People predicted that Werner and Pulisic would flop and Pulisic's most productive season was actually for Chelsea. You're just revealing your own ignorance with posts like these. Over and over again.
Zero chance of us signing bothHojlund for 40m with add ons to 50/55m and RKM for 65m to 80 with add ons is good deals for us if we really want both on pre requisite that we cannot get Kane. Hojlund alone ia too raw but add RKM then it could help the front lines as it add varieties to our attack because then Rashford can always interchange with RKM as they are able to play across the front.
I haven't seen Terrier play.While I rate Kolo Muani, you guys are going to be disappointed if you think he’s an all round 9 who can bag goals for fun.
He’s an energetic roaming forward, playing in the centre and drifting on the wings, pressing a lot, making a lot of runs, using his pace and agility to beat opponents on 1v1s.
He can link up but it’s not his greatest strength, especially when he needs to drop deep.
He scores but he assists a lot. To me, he’s close to what Martial used to be, but more agressive although less technical. All in all getting RKM would be having a bit more of the same, but I think he would fit ideally with our other forwards.
Ideally, should we get RKM, we’d need another profile to vary our play, a more classical 9 that can be a menace in the box. I had my eyes on Martin Terrier from Rennes (before his injury), who would have been financially attainable I guess. @Adnan any insights on him?
He can be quite clumsy with the ball. But he is very tenacious. He'd try and try again and would sometimes get it right whether dribbles or goals or passes.
I would be happy with Rasmus and Kolo Muani for £100m or thereabouts.
From reports Muani is priced at around £70m, while there’s chance we could sign Rasmus for £60m. So it could cost us at least around £130m to sign both.I would be happy with Rasmus and Kolo Muani for £100m or thereabouts.

bring him to the theatre:
Finding it hard to discern whether the tweet means, we would have to pay 50-60 now but more in the future or if they want 50-60 upfront but more in addons
He’s now France’s first choice #9. Think he’s on the verge of becoming a real big name striker, and that initial outlay sounds reasonable to me, all things considered.
