Excellent if true. Let’s say Jimenez + 5m for Dalot
If he isn't cheap, it makes no sense. We have several positions in the starting eleven that should be improved.
I’d be all over this, he’s such a good player. Not exceptional at any one thing but really well rounded. Can lead the line, can link up play, fast enough for counter attacks, decent in the air, scores all different types of goals and is a really hard worker. Sadly it looks like baseless gossip and in truth we need to strengthen other areas more. So, not happening.
Nope. He wouldn’t come if he wasn’t first choice and Martial has that spot locked down.
If we were to get Jiménez it would be for a starting striker and that's why I think it makes no sense. He would be expensive both on transfer fee and wages. Plus, he's in a stage in his career when he is supposed to be at his best and moving to sit on the bench to be an impact sub and cup player makes absolutely no sense.
Why?
We have Mason and Martial and he's not a better goalscorer than either of them

Would be nice.. but the Portuguese outlets have absolutely no credibility.. Not worth a thread.
They say Dalot will be involved. Dalot is Portuguese, so perhaps their outlets might know something...
If it’s a player swap, it’s much better for us transfer budget - wise
Not happening.
Adding Jimenez and Sancho surely makes your attack one of the best around. Would be a good signing for you he’s a real handful.
This one will be dead in the water by tomorrow.

3 pages and no youtube compilation vids... Tsk tsk
Yes of course Martial is better considering he's the one that has more to his game.
Jiminez is good but don't see the point in splashing the cash on a position we have as good or better players in. We have other areas of real concern
I like Jimenez and i do think we need a striker, just not as a priority over other positions this summer.
And he's better goalscorer. Jimenez is 29 and has only scorer more than 20 goals once in his career. Don't get the fuss over him.
I expect him to be back to his average 15-16 goals next season.
They are different types of strikers. Who have the same amount of league goals. Go figure. What do you mean let alone Igahlo?
Lingard eh
We already have as many...Jimenez and Sancho will only replace Sanchez and Mata.That's literally 9 players for 3 positions
Squad depth though
Error by me there, meant I saw posters mentioning Igahlo as a reason for Jimenez not to come (and Jimenez is better than anyone as a pure cf in my eyes).They are different types of strikers. Who have the same amount of league goals. Go figure. What do you mean let alone Igahlo?
Also I agree they’re different types of strikers for sure
I suppose it's close between the two. But Martial is young and has his best years ahead of him not to mention possibly going up a notch or two. I mean, technically he's lightyears ahead of Jiminez who is better physically and in the air. For the standard CF target man play, I think you can get enough cheap buys in to do 'a job' whereas Martial has the sort of quality that you don't find easily.
I think we have far bigger concerns in this squad to spunk 60 million plus on a CF that won't upgrade on what we have.
Our attack doesnt rely on a pure CF infact its quite dependant atm on Martial and the fluidity. However for different games and options would be great to have Jiminez
If we filter it to only one position for each player.That's literally 9 players for 3 positions
Squad depth though
2 LW: Rashford, James
2+1 CF: Martial, Jimenez + Ighalo
2 RW: Sancho, Greenwood
Ighalo will only be here half a season.
RTP isn't really an outlet, it's more or less the Portuguese equivalent of the BBC. They don't really peddle in rumours; the last big football story they reported before it happened was Jorge Jesus going back to Benfica. It's not really on their day-to-day agenda to make things up.
Can't see it. Jimenez might be leaving but there's been way more talk of him going to Juve. Don't see us signing him.
3 pages of pure nothing you lot are mental.
Weird one. Maybe sign an agreement then let Wolves keep him till January? So they can plan? Doesn't sound terribly credible to be honest.
I rate him highly but he really doesn’t make sense here. He’d be expensive, isn’t that young and would probably expect to play more often than not and we cannot guarantee that with our other players lining up for the same spot.
3 days ago, seems way too happy at Wolves and settled.
Firstly why would Wolves sell their player of the season?
Secondly the basis of the rumour is based on an article that says it in passing off the cuff.
This is not going to happen, mark my words

The right calibre of player to be backup to Martial. This is the kind of deal you make if you want to compete with the Scousers/City.
Sheringham type of signing, except that Teddy was a free signing
He’d be a fantastic signing for the right price.
I alluded to it in another thread but i'd quite like the option of a what i would call a proper striker/CF rather than a only having forwards that can change positions like our current options. Rashford can't be trusted centrally and Greenwood is still very young. Ighalo has done a job but he's not mobile enough for me.
Quality competition for places is what we need in al positions if we're to challenge on all fronts. I don't want to see any more garbage about people 'filling in' when they quite clearly aren't good enough to play a role.
Wow, is Manchester United management team reading my post?
Jimenez will be a fantastic backup or even starter for cup and few premier league games. Make this happen.
Now all we need is Grelish, Kubo and Ghendouzi, Camaviga or Tonali to add a more dynamic cdm to protect Bruno and Pogba. However, I feel Ole might go for Sancho, and Rice.

I love Martial but lets address the elephant in the room. Does he score enough goals to lead the line for a side that has championship ambitions? And if the answer is no then will he soon?
He has the same amount of league goals as Jiminez having missed 2 months this season
I am not saying Jiminez is the answer. My original question stands though.
