Randal Kolo Muani

Don't think any club in the world would trade Rashford for a player worth 80 million.

I think his reputation is so bad that we will find it difficult to sell just like the price of Sancho dropped off a cliff. His contract makes it even worse. He's on what now? 270k he's not even worth 100k a week.
Even if we sell Rashford for £25m (same value chelsea offered to Sancho) is still a profit that helps the club.

In comparison, If we sell Antony for £10m now, it doesn’t help because we are currently still owing €38m euro payment to Ajax.

We’re not helping ourselves if we make straight swap deal with Rashford and someone like Muani.

Still not sure what club would take him on given his contract and the efforts he displays. But of course I'd rather money than a trade for Muani, but I don't see it.

Personally would rather Osimhen over Muani, but would Napoli take it.

We shouldn’t take Muani straight swap deal without cash with Rashford even if we’re desperate.

Due to PSR you would never do a “swap” but you would agree to both pay each other £50m or something.

That’s what the likes of Villa, Chelsea and Everton were doing over the summer by swapping academy products for like £14m to get around PSR.
 
Loan move wouldn’t be a bad idea, he actually played in 343 or 3421 formation at Frankfurt, similar structure/formation with what we’re playing now.
 
Osimhen and Kolo Muani on loan with Hojlund going on loan to Fenerbache and Rashford loan plus buy to PSG. Tidy
 
I'm guessing he's a striker? Can't see him in one of the 10 roles behind the ST. He's technical but can he play as a true target man? Doesn't seem like the type.
 
I mean if it's a loan why not ? zero risk , if he does well then it benefits us, if not then he goes back to PSG in summer
 
We need a number 9 so it’s better than nothing if it’s a loan.

If our first choice target isn’t available till the summer then it makes more sense to get the best option we can on loan.
 
I know PSG went cold on Rashford but it seems a good deal for all parties if we did a player swap loan?
 
OP, title change suggestion: ‘Randal Kolo Muani - Jack of all trades, master of none’
 
Again, no ta. If we’re forced to — a short term loan with absolutely no obligation to buy him would have to do.
 
Is this guy a winger or striker? And if he is so good, why does PSG want to sell him? I admit Ive not really seen him play, but aware who he is.

It seems a straight tussle bewteen Utd, Spurs and Juve.

I would prefer Osimhen or Vlahovic as a striker.

Psg wanted to sell Ugarte too, look how he's turning out
 
Fine with a loan. Not remotely convinced by him going by what the sentiment is, and the fact that he's bombed in the French League though.
 
Everytime I watch him, he hasn’t impressed much.

Looks abit quicker and stronger than Ramus. But wouldn’t be much of an improvement. Think he’d be the same as what we have unless he can be transformed. Mind you I’ve not watched him this season to see how he has progressed.
 
Yes I know he isn't the same quality as Osimhen/Gyokeres, however maybe we feel that neither are obtainable until the summer. I am convinced we will still be in for one of them
 
Vlahovic was understandable. Is Kolo Muani any real competition for Hojlund, never mind a replacement?

Zirkzee we’ve established isn’t a striker so isn’t even part of the debate. We simply need another striker in the squad but I don’t think it should be someone worse than the one we have.

This logic doesn't work after Ugarte.

Why would the club loan Hojlund to Fenerbache?

And for those moaning that Muani isn't good enough, Weghorst and Ighalo say hello.

Kolo muani is a much better player than Hojlund, come on. He's not an amazing goalscorer but he'd 100% improve us and give us more than either Zirkzee or Hojlund are doing
 
I don't think he's anywhere near good enough.

What is considered good enough?

Our current level of striker in the premier league is like a 2 out of 10. Hojlund and Zirkzee's goalscoring rate in the premier league wouldnt look out of place at a team who finished bottom of the league. Southamtpon's top scorers have 2 goals, Hojlund has 2 in the league, Zirkzee has 3 but 2 came against a team who are just outside the relegation places.

To get us up the table we need goals. Someone who can score 12-14 goals a season in the premier league would be a big step up from where we are now. And yes Hojlund did it last season, but hes failing to do it this season.

Based on Muani's history he could hopefully do that. Once we have a player doing that and getting us back into the europa league places, then we can dream of a striker who is going to get us 20 league goals.

Obviously a player who will get us to the next stage, but wont be the long term solution to challenging for the top prices should be reflected in the transfer we're prepared to offer. PSG spent a lot on him, they clearly dont rate him as a starting striker and its been a failed transfer. Like when we spend a lot on a player and it doesnt work out, they will need to accept quite a loss on him to make it a worthwhile deal.
 
Yes please on loan. People have to accept that we aren't going to get dream options, but he's one who at least would improve on what we have and it's a no risk deal. We seemingly don't have real money to spend, so a loan makes sense.
 
Never been impressed by him but when we can only do loan deals then this is what you end up having to do. I assume he would only be signed on loan if Rashford is loaned out as well so it would at least give us another option.

Not an accurate comparison. Ugarte’s strengths were always clear —his quality wasn’t (mostly) in question, the issue was that he didn’t fit Enrique’s system and tactics.

Kolo Muani hasn’t shown anything other than being another Frankfurt striker swindle.
 
If people are complaining about Hojlund then oh boy if we get Kolo Muani who is also 4 years older and somehow even worse
