Fergie never minded an overkill of strikers we were always well stocked up upfront
We'll have enough games for them to get enough playing time. I think we have to play something like 6 games in 18 days over Christmas, so we need a big squad.
Trustworthy enough?
I suppose that would depend on whether Mourinho decided to go with two strikers, to get the best out of Griezmann, or one striker, to get the best out of Pogba.
Maybe he sees our lack of goals and does indeed want to try two up front.
I think this is transfer-related enough, as there's been a lot of talk about who's going to sign him on a free.
Refreshing to see someone retire at the top in the public domain as opposed to rotting away for his last couple of years in silence in the Turkish second division.
The money China (for example) has to offer makes it tempting to play for another couple of years and earn as much as one has earned the last 10 years.
Going to China, Australia, MLS or the Gulf for one last pay-day is different from what I meant. There are some players who go to the lower divisions of obscure countries and just rot there.
I found out yesterday that Ricardo Vaz Te is playing for a second division Turkish team. Did you know Sidney Govou is still playing? He's playing in the French 5th division. I know they weren't top players like Alonso and I'm not saying they should all retire at the Bayerns and Barcas of the world, but it's just irritating to me for some reason. Just face the music and retire! You're going to have to deal with a post-football life anyway, so stop being in denial.
That must be the most judgemental, inconsiderate post I've ever made!

Not easy to quit doing what you love

Plus they may actually need the income to fund their lifestyle. You do remember it is only a job after all!
Edit: Not to mention, someone with the experience of Govou at playing at the highest level, he could offer a lot to young players and coaches at the level.
Expected, okay! Its pure speculation from Miguel Delaney and he even backtracks at the end of the article.Id say its just about enough. we wont get Dolberg, hell go City but him Rasher of bacon and Ibraslono
Not played in months and seemingly sidelined, id say hes had less playing time than Memphis, you'd definitely expect him to leave.
You're trying to tell us something.
Vaz Te is only 30, why would he retire now? If someone is still able to play the game and get paid for it there's really no reason to retire, whether they're in the Turkish 2nd division, the Premier League or anywhere else. What do you advise Ricardo Vaz Te, a 30 year old average footballer, to do? Retire and piss away a good source of income?Going to China, Australia, MLS or the Gulf for one last pay-day is different from what I meant.

Technically, we have just one with Martial considered a wide player (unfortunately imo). Besides Apart from Rashford, the only recognised forwards are Zlatan and Bohui and Burkart from the u18s. It kinda makes sense.
Fair play to him. The only Liverpool player of the pro era I would have actually liked to see in a United shirt. Great player.
I'm not even going to lie. One of my favourite players even while he was at Liverpool.
De Gea
Valencia Bailly Lindelof Shaw
Weigl Pogba
Mkhitaryan Griezmann Martial
Zlatan
£30m Lindelof
£30 Weigl
£60 Griezmann
£120m total.... DONE

£30m for Weigl is just not going to happen.
He also signed a new contract a few weeks back.
Neither is 60m for Griezmann.
West Ham really starting to spend big.
Hull might as well just quit, if they sell him.
What do West Ham think they're playing at with these bids? They're going round the lowest performing clubs in the league, finding their best performing players and offering peanuts for them. In what world do they think those bids will be accepted? They know the financial difference between survival and relegation, do they somehow think they're a big enough club to turn players heads and unsettle them?
In this market, neither Defoe nor Snodgrass should be going anywhere for less than 20-25m.

I like how West Ham are holding out for a bigger fee on a player that clearly doesn't want to be there, whilst lowballing other, more vulnerable clubs for their most important players.
Hypocrites of the biggest order.
Hypocrites of the biggest order.
Surely that's just good business sense. Doesn't every club in the entirety of football attempt to buy players for the minimum fee possible, while extracting as much money as they can from any sale?
It really isnt.
Derisory bids just means the selling club dig their heels in.
They'll end up signing some no name mark late in the window
Yes to a degree, but there's zero chance of them being successful with £6m bids for the best players at 2 clubs battling for survival, so it just looks like they're taking the piss really.
Loan until the end of the season.
There’s that, and then there’s offering 3m for Snodgrass
They're trying to unsettle the player and get him to push for a transfer, I imagine. Even if you make the case that what West Ham are doing is counter-productive from a transfer perspective, I'm not sure it's in any way "hypocritical", as @Irrational. stated above.
Griezmann will leave for his release clause which is roughly around £85million and I think dortmund will want a little more for Weigl being so young and talented probably around £38-40million.
