Well United aren't so no worries there
I guess the question is, will he ever be? Seems like the club don't think so.
Striker options?
- Thread starter Messier1994
- Start date

Maybe so but no way are INEOS paying that
I think he has one year left on his contract and is coming of a lengthy betting ban. He is 28 and isn't prolific.. We shouldn't be paying a penny more than 40m for him.
I think £50m including addons

Presuming eriksen and casemiro leave, as well as Evans and one other CB, and we keep eriksen as well as malacia Amad, and Antony. Another forward player to push the wide forwards should someone leave or Rashford doesn't find his form.
First XI needs a CB and a CDM. Possibly a Lw or Rw
Second needs a. GK, CM, CF possibly a RB, LB
Onana, dalot, ?, Martinez, Shaw, ?, Mainoo, Bruno, Rashford, garnacho, holjund.
?, AWB, Maguire, lindelof, malacia, ?, Mctominay, Mount, Amad, Antony, ?

I see we’re being linked to Morata this morning
It will be Lukaku in a few days
Absolutely zero prospect even we'd do something that stupid
Is he gonna get the red hair dye out again
As a rotation on the cheap. You really can't ask for better.
Morata for £10m would be a great signing, in my view. Good profile. He doesn't seem slow or anything yet doesn't rely on his pace. I don't really see the problem. He's a striker who brings others into play which is arguably what we most need. If Zirkzee wants to join Milan, then I don't see many cheap alternatives out there. Morata is a decent shout.
There really is absolutely nothing on the market 
Oh lord please no! I couldn't take it...
There absolutely is. The problem is that we have blown a lot of money on dross the last eleven years. That means we need 5 or 6 players, and with the way player inflation is these days it would cost upwards of 300m+ to fill all those positions. In an ideal world our previous windows would have gone much better and we would require at the max 2-3 players in this window. That would have allowed us to go for let's say an Isak and blow 100m on him. Now we are down to searching for players with cheap release clauses from the Serie A who scored 12 goals in all competitions last season or some 28 year old from Bundesliga with one good season.There really is absolutely nothing on the market
I agree, especially if the plan is for Hojlund to remain first choice.
If we’re interested in an older ST like Morata, then I don’t get why we aren’t all in on Guirassy.
He is close to signing for Dortmund. But that means Füllkrug could be available there.
Was just thinking exactly the same thing
Yeah our wasting of money over the last decade has definitely led to us unable to push the boat out for players who could have made huge difference
I wonder how much would Isak cost? 100 mil? That guy is so good.
Yeah isn't that what Chelsea got quoted
Damn, for 100 mil he is a no brainer for any club who can afford that fee. Best striker in PL (City robot excluded).
After the season he has had, i wouldn't mind us banging £15-20m in for him and he can swap/rotate/lead and be an example for Hoijlund.
Fullkrug as a rotation option with Rasmus? Yes please.
Ugarte, de Ligt and Fullkrug in one window would be mint
