No, I just think Mandzukic offers a more physical presence if we want to change things.
Ole wanting Mandzukic seems so random.
Can Mandzukic play RB then?
Zlatan is not working hard enough though. Ole wants someone to run the whole game and be physical.
Exactly what Mandzukic would do, see a lot of sense in the interest if it's true.
He defends from the front, physically imposing, great in the air.
I can see the appeal in getting Mandzukic on the cheap to provide an option but it needs to be in addition to Maguire and Dybala/Bruno.
He's a great back up and always has been, extremely hard working and physical with a good technical level.
I can hardly imagine a better short term signing if he maintains the level he's shown over the last few years, which at his age would be the only concern.
I think it shows the faith Ole has in our current crop and youth that he doesn't feel the need to replace Lukaku with a prime no. 9.
Yaps gonna Yap.

If somehow we end up with Dybala and Mandzukic I wouldn't mind. Having Martial, Rashford as the only strikers does not fill me with optimism. An old head who has been at some top clubs and has a good work rate is handy to have for a couple of years
A hard working veteran prescence in the dressing room who has a knack for showing up in the biggest games/moments on a team where the most experienced CF will likely be 23 years old,truly puzzling what does Ole see in him??
Mario would be a great option from the bench and would be near perfect for pressing which Ole is trying to impose right now.
Exactly. It's not rocket science.
You clearly haven't watched Zlatan play since he left for the MLS. I saw him in person a few weeks ago when LA visited Columbus and it was clear that he just doesn't have the legs for intense competition anymore.
Plan B? Would make sense as an option off the bench.. I'm not against it tbh.
Mandzukic at that price would be a fantastic signing. He is something completely different to every other forward we have and would be brilliant Plan B and/or late substitute to cause opposition defences headaches. As a £10-15m signing, there wouldn't be a single better option out there to rotate with Rashford and Greenwood.
However.
If we get him, lose Lukaku, and don't sign either Dybala or Bruno Fernandes.....that's a different story. We'll still be completely lacking in creativity apart from Pogba who I still feel will leave the club aftr our window closes.

Some of these people haven’t even seen Mandzukic play. He’s over 6ft so he must be bad

In his prime he would've been a terror in the Prem similar to Diego Costa. He's always had the perfect style and physical profile for the English game. Always felt that about him and Cavani
At his current age though,he'd be a pretty great option off the bench given how he's perfect for the high press style we seem to be heading towards. I'd be all for it,would really help shore up Ole's attacking options.
We’re really going to sign nobody but Maguire for 90m on deadline day oh my lord
Do people think Mandzukic is some old lump with no legs or something? Not surprised Ole wants him as he seems a great fit. Also provides some much needed experience and fighting attitude in this squad.
Do we need one? We have AWB and Dalot plus if need be Young can fill in there.
Swap Bruno (or Dybala) for a quality DM and that would be a pretty great window.
What's the point?We’re really going to sign nobody but Maguire for 90m on deadline day oh my lord
The only thing Young can fill in is his mouth an even then, he needs help from a seagull.
He's 33, we will get 1 good season out of him, he's not Zlatan, is he?
People lose their shit over buying 28 year olds, ffs!
Can we get a transfer embargo on chutney until say, 6pm?
Then he can drop all 40 twastes in at once.

At least someone signed a CB from Leicester this window...
Ole is like Sir Alex. Wants four senior forward players. Mandzukic would be Ole's Shearingham.
@Fridge chutney should be banned from this thread
Do we even have enough squad places for 6 new signings? I guess Lukaku and Darmian will leave, how many would we have left?
Rojo can make the lunch. No need to give him a place in the squad.
Put him on ignore. I reckon he is the most ignored poster in redcafe history.
