ok...fair play on that but if i had to choose between teh two, i know which one i would prefer
Striker options?
- Thread starter Messier1994
- Start date
Neither for me both not good enough
He is making a real case,11 league goals by xmas is a more than impressive return
We have to stick to our guns, appraise players and pay a price. If another agent/team wants to try and play games, leave them to it.
Him, Hwang, Bowen, JWP all are good enough.
Solankie is having the season of his life..he could score 30 plus goals EtH still wouldn't want him?
You got to be kidding
Somehow it's come down to January, losing game after game, playing shite can't score goals... etc etc..
Couldn't score goals last season ffs and ETH new that, Rashford had the season of his life won't score 30 goals ever again , he Eth still doesn't buy a Striker? Hojlund if people have just realised isn't a Striker, although some think he is?..
The boy is young and that gets him some Grace, I cannot see how EtH gets him to score goals? I'd play him In a 4-4-2 that system seems outdated now ..Hojlund will score goals with a constant guy up with him.
ETH has got to get a proper Striker in if he doesn't it's 50pts top and he could well get Sack.. trouble is in January most are at top clubs won't leave and utd would have to cough up £100million or more .. that's not happening imo as the Summer budget wasn't spent very well.. only 2 Strikers would make utd better Oshimen, Kane..
One we didn't go for the other will be out priced, so we go with what we got and hope.

Zirkzee has moved to the top of our list according to Sport1 journalist Christopher Michel.
Bryan Mbeumo would also improve us on the right. Like Solanke, not a popular suggestion, but he is a productive player in this league.
Buying players with Prem experience is our best way out of this.

Great idea but unfortunately Brentford can see 20/20
Yeah you could well be right
Just pay release clause for Osimhen. Go for the best.
Osimhen would flop in our setup. Flop hard. he would be immense in pretty much every other team though.
We will have new setup though. With new CEO and DoF and our current state, i doubt that Erik will be in charge next season.
Agreed.
I would love us to get a setup with Amad and Rashford and a coach that values a stable midfield.
In such a setup Osimhen would be fantastic and Rasmus could finally be allowed to grow and get minutes as from the bench instead of being forced to lead the line in this terrible setup.
Ivan Toney. A striker who likes to press, aggressive, composed on the ball, good finishing ability, proven PL, ideal age to give Hojlund more times to develop, and he can create his own chances and also create chances for his team mate. He would cost lot of money but if there is a striker that we need and fits man united and manager’s profile right now it’s him.
I don’t know what‘s the deal with our FFP, we need to find a way to make it happen.

See him joining Arsenal or Chelsea
The fact Martial hasn't been in a match squad since it was leaked his contract wouldn't be renewed suggests he's potentially off in January to me and he's been a prick about it.
Realistically we won't have big money to spend so it could be another loan deal.

Would people take Icardi?
Was going to ridicule this post at the time, but now upon reading the impending financial collapse of Inter, this looks even more stupid.
What's happening with them?
Apparently the sale of Onana and Brozovic are the only reason they're still afloat.
There was an interesting post on reddit here:
While it's nice seeing this being talked about on the sub, the main issue apparently nobody ever realized or cared about in the past few years is that Inter has been virtually bankrupt ever since Covid regulations in China blocked Suning from investing. They've been a dead man walking for almost three years at this point.
They contracted a 275m euros debt (primarily with US investment fund Oaktree) in 2021 on a 4.8% interest rate. When it rose to 425m due to interest in early 2022 they just kept issuing bonds for 415m on a 6.75% interest rates, a good chunk of which were acquired by Oaktree. Inter is literally relying on their creditors to re-finance their own debts with them to stay afloat, and now obviously Oaktree is tired of chasing non-existent money and is rumored to be requesting interest rates in the 20%s to re-finance the debt again.
At the same time Suning wanted something insane like 1.2b to sell the club to interested parties (including a Saudi bid allegedly) to make the money the spent on it back, but there is genuinely no person on earth who would spend that money for a club with 800m euros in debt. The only thing saving the club at that point is the fact Oaktree doesn't give a shit about football and it doesn't seem like they'd want to take over the club if possible (they already allegedly rejected an offer of 30% of shares in 2021), but they will just straight up sell it to whoever bids for it.

Yeah. It's just that this is the first time he's had more than 6 goals in a PL season. And he's 26. So.
.........and he's been receiving medical treatment for a betting addiction that landed him a lengthy suspension. Not saying that's necessarily a dealbreaker, but it certainly should be part of the cost/benefit calculation.
Kind of pointless player for us. Even at his absolute best at Inter and in the most dominant PSG side whilst he was there, he was a straight up goal poacher who would have about 10 touches of a football per 90 mins. We don’t dominate possession or create enough clear chances for a striker like that to be of value to us.
With how flat our attacking threat generally tends to be, we need a no.9 who can actually play a bit and do the goalscoring. (Not asking for much, eh) — if he comes back like he never left Ivan Toney would be really good for us. Probably be out of budget, though.
We better have a decent alternative ready.
we should be looking at wingers not necessarily another striker unless that striker is a more experienced one so he doesn't block the progression of Rasmus
Hwang, Solanke, Guirassy
Solanke wouldn't be cheap due to English tax
Not a good fit for this system that we play
Not sure he's the best tbh
We could offer Martial (loan) Malacia for 10m & offer 20m for him.
Guirassy would make so much sense, so we'll sign Werner
is Wout Weghorst available.....
Give me Timo Werner on loan.
Can't we get both and feck off Martial
