Superman Rooney will be back as striker
If we're buying Perisic, it could mean Martial and Rashford are both only going to play as strikers as. 3 should be enough I suppose.

Wouldn't be comfortable with that. Rashford and Martial didn't get us enough goals last season. Why will that change next season?
From the looks of things Rashford will be 2nd choice striker and Martial 2nd choice left sided forward.
Its likely that we are in for a striker and left sided attacker, as well as a midfielder and defender.
I think that is what is the sensible thing to do, make players like Rashford, Martial, Lingard, Fellaini less important in the team. Rashfrod and Martial are still developing and Lingard and Fellaini are squad players at best.
I'd rather have a one legged Zlaten then Rooney!!!Lose Zlatan, keep Rooney. Summer is going well so far.

Explains the two fingered salute at Liverpool after all these years as their feeder club
No we won't. We could hardly count on him playing anyway, he was more like a Henke post-XMAS guest appearance package.
fecking yes thens get Belotti
If Di Marzio is saying we are in for Belotti, then I will believe it for now... He was very ITK about the Darmian transfer, who also played for Torino....
He didn't. He's reporting the Tuttosport article.
Most of them involve a pay cut.
And getting off his ass.
Tuttosport probably the most unreliable paper i've seen.
Exciting news that is, one of footballs real bright up and coming goal scorers I'd love to see him at united.
Manchester City have bought Hirving "Chucky" Lozano and will loan him for 2 years to PSV
Not a bad idea buying up as much young talent as possible and loaning them out tbh, could pay off when average players start going for 100mil.
Isn't he that Mexican we were linked to? Thought he was headed to Celta.
Yeah, looks like City hijacked it. Dumb kid.
Will be sold in a couple of years without playing a single minute for City just like Aaron Mooy.
Pretty sure he was a United fan too. Is this news reliable?
Did Mooy no harm, did it?
Anyhow, there's a chance that he'll take Delph's place in the City squad for next season.
Why would he? You're overloaded on quality wingers as it is
Talking about Mooy mate.
Ah, gotcha. Sorry mate
Yeah Mooy has been quality this season for Huddersfield, if he does go back to City he would be a big loss for themThe deal worked out for Mooy, yeah. My point is it's weird to be signing for a club that you're probably never going to actually play for.
I'm not having a go at this transfer strategy as it's actually a pretty smart one for making a profit in the long run.
All four would be improvements to our squad but I do not think it would give us enough to win the league and certainly not the CL. But I would not be unhappy if this was all the business we did as we also welcome back Pereira after a good loan spell and have the emergence of Tuanzebe.
For me as long as Young, Rooney and one of Jones/Smalling are sold I will be happy. Also less game time for Lingard is always a bonus.
There's nothing we can do in this transfer window that would improve us enough to win the CL. But if we improve enough to challenge for the title that's good enough.
The pound has plummeted which will be bad for us. Every player will cost us a few million quids more.
I'm pretty sure i read a few years ago that we actually hold our cash in more than one currency to protect against this, or something like that anyway. Probably a bit more to it than that.
Yep I'm sure that's the case.
We may have to focus on buying from British Clubs: back to Matic, Willian, Rose, Van Dijk, Sanchez ?
I'm sure it will rebound shortly too.
Yeah it's a bit strange almost acting as intermediaries but if everyone comes out as a winner then I suppose all is good.
We also get to see the player in action over an extended period of time, getting inside reports as to their attitude and coachability before deciding whether to stick or twist.
We recently did this with the Turkish striker Unal who now is with Villareal, City having made a good profit and a buyback option if he turns out to be a star.
Well, because we have submitted a bid for him? When Morata was in Serie A, he was just starting out, only 21/22. Looking at Auba's stats at the same age, he scored about the same amount of goals for St Etienne. If you have seen the stats, their goals per min ratio this season is similar too. As mentioned, Morata's advantage, bar goals scored, is experience in big games for big clubs, prior working relationship with Jose, and higher ceiling for improvement. He also has more to prove to cement his place as Spain's first choice striker.
All very good players tbf, wouldn't mind them.
I really don't think there's any chance that signing Morata, Perisic, Fabinho and Lindelof are going to get us anywhere near the title. All 4 would be good signings to supplement an already capable squad, but our squad at the moment is nowhere near title winning quality. Add to that the fact that our top goalscorer from this season won't be there next season I think we would struggle to get anywhere near the title if we sign only these 4 players.
But then we have to take into account who realistically is available and in all honesty there's not much that would really elevate us to title winning quality. So unless we pull out a pleasant surprise in the transfer window we fans should try to rein in our expectations for next season and try to get behind the players and see where it gets us. Hopefully we make some progress from this past season and see where it leads us in the future.
