Icardi and United will end up a complete disaster, this has massive potential to blow up in our current state

Icardi only makes even tiniest bit of sense if we make a major improvement in the creativity department, even then i’d still rather not.

We don't make enough chances for him to be a success. The same stuff that's said about Lukaku would be said about him.
 
If it's a swap probably worth the risk as we clearly don't fancy Lukaku and we won't get many buyers. Also if it doesn't work out Icardi will have more sell on value than Lukaku. And if does work out we have a 25 goal a season striker.

Also most importantly we don't have to touch our transfer funds. We ship out a player who is not happy / isn't fancied by the manager and take a punt on a proven goalscorer. Its still a punt but not as risky as the Sanchez swap turned out to be.

And its not Lukaku bashing, he's a good player in certain set ups but I think his touch lets him down for how Ole intends to eventually play. He was benched for the key games this month when the other strikers couldn't buy a goal in open play so I really don't see him having a future here.
 
For all talk about Icardi offering nothing else in the build-up but technically, he's mile better than Lukaku, he's striker I would hope Rashford to be when it comes to poachers ability and be in the right position to score a goal.

Icradi has two wingers who are more of pure winger that doesn't cut in and they love to crosses. He's player I think can improve Pogba's input as a playmaker, amount of chance Pogba created for Lukaku, Lukaku scored very few and ruined most of the moments due to Lukaku's shit touch. If Icradi joined us as swap for Lukaku and get other players in RW and top CM who can be a playmaker, he'd be getting more service from midfield than he'd get from Inter.

Lukaku got dispossessed twice the time than Icradi, Icradi has almost twice time as Lukaku in shot per games, more key passes.

I think he'll be a perfect striker for the winger even if he offers nothing in the buildup, he'd be always there to keep the defender on check and holdup play lay off to winger to score. Let Martial and Rashford battle for LW spot. Greenwood and Right-winger battle for the RW spot.
 
And why the feck swap for an unprofessional scumbag like Icardi when we could try swap for Piatek instead? Icardi as a human being is so far off the values and ideals this club share. Please keep scumbags like that as long away from us as possible, we have enough problems as is...

The point is he's getting massively over-gassed because he's English, if he wasn't people would see him for what he is, a one dimensional fullback with a great engine but zero clue when he gets over the halfway line.

Thank goodness someone else thinks like me. Guy is not better than Meunier but he is English so expect overrating of immense proportions..

Why would it not matter if he's English? Manchester United has a tradition of nurturing the best talent from the Isles.

Times have changed. Shouldn't just sign best talent in the British Isles as they are not good enough. You think that's Manchester City's or Liverpool's strategy. We need quality players no matter where they are from. Also, before you say I am against signing those players, I think Jadon Sancho would be a good signing. Whereas Declan Rice wouldn't. So sick of people thinking we should sign the best players from the British Isles cos it was our tradition.

Giggs, Rooney, Best, Cantona, and numerous others all had 'issues' during their careers, some of them were very distasteful. Not sure if there's a scale of being an arse, but does Icardi rate higher or lower than them?

Some of the best young world talents are English, so obviously the club should be looking to scoop them up wherever possible. I'm pretty sure all teams in all leagues want the best players from their countries to represent them. Not sure why you're sick of fans wanting players they can relate to? I'd love the club to have an Aussie playing in the first 11, but it's not going to happen any time soon. Am I not allowed to express that opinion as it'd make you sick, or is it just British players you have an issue with?

The rumoured price has gone up from £100M to £180M, the inconsistency smacks of bullshit.

Don't worry about it. The day we buy him it'll have cost us £1bn with an option to buy back for £100m, an option to have first dibs on our scouting network and he'll be paid £2m a week.

Just don't think the young English players are that good since I want us to challenge Manchester City or Liverpool. You really think Manchester City or Liverpool would do that. Also I think Jadon Sancho is a fantastic player and we should sign him. Also would be pleased with Aaron Wan Bissika. But besides those players, the other ones are not that good. I would be fine signing those 2 but we shouldn't only sign English players cos it was our tradition. Don't get hype around England having great young players. Name me more English players besides those 2 that we should sign then if you are a great believer of the young English players.
 
Damn

Icardi used to be captain for reason. He's not a scumbag, the club disgustingly backed the violent thug ultras over him. Icardi was 100% right not to cower to those complete shits. The club should've backed him,

Icardi has Nainggolan who is a very unprofessional player, hooked up on coke, smoking a lot and partying, I haven't seen Icardi doing like that. Pereric was out of form for 2018 exception of the world cup and this season, just picked fighting with Icradi who banged them +25 goal last season and were captain for Inter. Inter's coaches just keep starting Nainggolan and Pereric over Icardi, majority of their fan wanted Spalletti out.

Inter's dressing room is way worse than ours. If Icardi joined us, he'd be surprised how weak we are, we're more like a kid compared to Inter's thugs.


His frame is just ruined because of his wife as an agent, in the same way as Rabiot and their mum

That's interesting, I don't relate to any of these footballers overall no matter their nationality as they live in a different world to me, but for instance someone like Mata or Darmian is more relatable to me than say Rashford simply due to age, I think there's more goes into it than nationality personally.

Icardi's a twat. Wouldn't go for him.

It's not just that, he has no hold up play, we desperately need a forward that can keep the ball and bring others into play.

What makes you think they would give us Piatek for Lukaku? They only signed him in January and he's a goal machine that does everything you'd want of a striker. No way they'd let him go.

Icardi may be the best option that's available. I wouldn't particularly want him or the shit that comes with him, but he'd still be an upgrade.

Generally, Irish and Scottish players are crap though. Wouldn't see Manchester City or Liverpool having half their team full of Irish, Scottish and English players. Times have changed and we need to move on. So we should basically sign Irish, Scottish or English players as they used to be half of Man United team even though they are generally crap and won't win you a title. Living in the past is all I say. The only English/Irish/Scottish players I would have would be Jadon Sancho and Aaron Wan Bissika.

It’s what Ole said he wanted for the team. He is the manager, the rest of you are just day dreamers.

You do know that England under 17 won the world cup 2 years ago and there are some superb talents coming through from that squad. So if best in their age group isn't all that good in your opinion, what can I say. There are several I'd love to see at United and we already have one of them on the books.

Plus no one is saying we should only sign English players, however all clubs should have a certain amount of homegrown players, as it's the right thing and it's requirement.

Yep, Rio, Becks, as well. Quite frankly, his personal life is not something I would ever be comfortable with, but I'm not sure it translates into his work. Unsure why his personal life is really an issue, unless it's criminal or would impact him playing. Ronaldo has an ongoing legal battle, but I doubt anyone would turn their nose up to him coming back.

The big issue is that his batshit crazy wife is also his agent so we'd be dealing with her as well as him. However the bigger issue is he can't hold the ball up so we'd be no better off.

Yeah, that's true. She's fecking barmy. I'm not really as bothered about holding it up, it would just nice to get some fecking movement.

I think if we are going to get back in the mix we have to have at least one forward that can keep the ball and bring others into play, Rashford is never going to be that guy and neither is Icardi, if you look at all of the other top 6 they have that forward and it elevates the wide forwards in their team, even Lacazette can do it at Arsenal to a decent level.
 
English talents of 2000 and older is mile better than any group, only French is closer to it.

Only France has been better than England from 1996 group and over, that has likes of Dele, Rashford, Sancho, Alexander-Arnold, Chilwell, Joe Gomez, Shaw, Hudson-Odoi, Wan-Bissaka, James Maddison, Loftus-Cheek, only England have better fullback and CB than France, perhaps in attacking depth, England is mile behind France in midfielder depth. France has likes of Mbappe, Pavard, Hernandez, Ndombele, Coman, Aouar, etc from that group over 1996
