Why would Arsenal sell Sanchez to us though?

Would still like mahrez but I cant see Leicester selling any of their top players now vardy has committed himself to the club
 
If we sign Mkhitaryan, do you think we still go for Ounas?

Yeah I don't think he's being targeted as the 1st choice winger so signing Mkhitaryan shouldn't affect his purchase if we are actually interested.
 
After yesterdays game: Draxler.

I was thinking that as well, but then I thought to myself: Before yesterday's game when was the last time I thought that? I couldn't remember one other time (perhaps it was because he always seemed to be linked to Arsenal before).

Anyways we have signed Mkhitaryan so I don't think Draxler is an option.
 
Would like to see Sane

Agreed. If we have just one more player like Martial that can put defenders on their ass and backheels then we are set I think. As it is now defenders double up on Martial, and our pace and directness threat is nullified. Put another Martial on the right wing and they have no possibillity to double up, add distribution from Micki in the middle and we will be a handful for any team.
 
Ship off Mata and sign Payet ?


Makes alot of sense to be honest, Payet has that little bit extra bit of quality that you need against teams that park the bus, just like David Silva at City.

People are complaining about spending 30m on a 27 year old. Wonder what they would say if we spend almost twice as much for a 29 year old.

Even thats not going to be enough.

With the Euros Payet has had to sign him a club got to shell out £40 odd million in todays market. Especially as West Ham have new TV deal money, new stadium revenues etc
 
I remember we were linked with Ounas, what happened with him?
 
Sane.
Hope he gets some minutes at the Euros.
I hope he plays too. I would like to see an attack like this:
Muller
Draxler - Ozil - Sane​
I think that's a better attack than the one with Gotze.
 
MK plays mainly left or right wing.

He played mostly as RW last season, but drifted central a lot. He has played the most as a #10 behind the striker. Not a classic winger in any sense of the word.

That would be great. I hope we sign a skillful winger.

I like Draxler and Sane. But it seems that we are linked with Lozano and Ounas.
 
Still room for one more pure RW though, sadly we haven't been linked with Sane yet as I think he would be ideal.
I agree, Sane would be ideal. I prefer Mkhitaryan with freedom behind the striker, mainly because I like left footed right wingers. At least for me it's more interesting to see players like Messi, Dybala, Bale, Robben, Mahrez on the right wing than right footed players like Valencia, Navas, Lingard, etc.

If we sign Sane, it would be like having an other Martial, so I'm all for it.
 
The front four looks like it's going to be ibrahimovic, Rooney , martial, Mkhitaryan from what the manager is saying. Any forwards we sign now will be second string so an ounas or lozano type signing seems far more likely than a star signing.
 
Not a right winger per se - but Mkhitaryan can play everywhere in attack - including the right attacking midfielder position. With the ascent of Varela (who likes to surge up the flank), we might not need a touchline hugger on the outside channel to dribble to the byline and stretch the play - so Mkhitaryan would be a quality option because of his technique, movement, eye for the final pass, workrate and scoring ability. An attack with him on the right and Martial on the left would be extremely fluid and dynamic. Of course, Dortmund are a better club (on the pitch) than United at this moment in time, but things can change very quickly in football - and, Mkhitaryan has good workrate, so he should do well under Van Gaal or Mourinho (if he's appointed). And his contract expires in 2017, so the transfer fee isn't likely to be exorbitant. 14 goals and 14 assists is an exceptional return, and he's been probably the most influential player for Dortmund this season. Plus, he's at a really good age at 27 - his peak performance years, and we need a few players like that to make an instant impact for the next 4+ seasons. Having loads of young players is good in theory but you need a few cornerstones to bear the burden while the youngsters develop. Too much too soon, and they might burn out.

This guy called it.

Agreed, and if we do add another young wide player it probably means Januzaj is off.
 
We've signed Mkhitaryan and Ibrahimovic, the most important signings are done and if we are going to take a gamble, I'd love it to be Fekir. He isn't necessarily a winger, but he can play there and I think he could also switch positions with Mkhitaryan during the game. Obviously Mourinho has said he wants specialists and not multifunctional players, but here's hoping he sees this player a bit differently.
 
According to Mino, Mkhitaryan struggled as RW under Klopp. He's not happy playing in that role. His preferred roles are no 10 and the left flank
 
I'm hoping, if we're not signing any other attackers that is, Rashford or Januzaj are given a chance on the right because Mkhi just won't be as effective there in my opinon. Unless, like Invictus says, we play Varela at RB who's shown he's good a good attacker, let Mkhi drift inside, and let Varela cause the danger down the right wing itself.

The problem is I don't see Varela starting under José and I'm not sure the other options at RB (Bailly/TFM/Valencia/Darmian) are good enough attack wise to carry a threat down the right wing on their own. Valencia can still occasionally create some good play but has become very predictable, TFM I'm not sure on yet but certainly has the potential, I've not seen enough of Bailly, and Darmian hasn't shown any, bar a wonderful goal, attacking ability here yet.

Agree with most of this. Our best team next season should have Mkhitaryan behind Ibrahimovic with Martial and another pacy player on the wing, Rashford or Januzaj would be good in most situations. Maybe Lingard or Young if we want to be really solid.

If Mkhitaryan does play on the right then the RB has to be very offensive to take advantage of all the space. Varela is the best option, then Valencia. A Mkhitaryan and Darmian right side won't work at all.

Let's not kid ourselves Valencia is the best option we have by a country mile.
