Class of 63
Sourness
Haven't read all the posts yet so may have missed it, but would love to know who the wombleheads that have voted 'both' would bring in to replace them
Sanchez doesn’t strike me as the type to want a role as a squad player, I think he’ll ask for a move in the summer. Now how many teams are willing to take on that salary I don’t know. I’m fine with moving on from bothLukaku needs to leave. Sanchez as a rotation striker. Rashford 1st choice. Sanchez 2nd. Martial 3rd and Greenwood emergency. Ship of Lukaku and Mata and sign Sancho. Rashford, Martial, Sancho, Lingard, Sanchez for 3 positions. If we want a target man we should just sign someone on the cheap or loan as a substitute option.
This. Mad how people want Lukaku out - he's not the fastest but he is clever with his movement and can play quite fluidly in a front-three, if he's good staying and not starting each game then I don't know why you'd want him out.Lukaku is a very good player with plenty of uses. He won 10 aerial balls against Fulham. And when he's on form, he's probably the best finisher in the squad.
Sanchez looks shot. His decision making is being impacted by his waning pace. I wouldn't go so far as to say he's hiding on the pitch. But compared to what he used to be, he's definitely opting for the easy option far too often. I'm not sure this is a decline he can come back from. Would love to be proven wrong, though.
What part of Lukaku’s game is ‘unique’ exactly? I’d say he’s actually a very predictable striker for opposing defenders and relies almost exclusively on his physical attributes.Realistically both will not be here for the long term.
Sanchez' wages are a detriment to the rest of the squad. Given his performances aren't matching what he's being paid we'll need to find a way to cut ties soon and it will be easier to find a replacement 'squad role' winger or push through Chong or Gomes.
Lukakus' attributes are unique, would be difficult to replace and by all reports he's respected by those around him so I'm inclined to keep him until Greenwood is ready to play or Rom wants to leave for more game time.
I fall in this camp too. Martial and Rashford first choice, both of them backup. We have more pressing needs in the squad than thinking of again re-jigging our attack this summer. Ideal situation to bring on some on like Greenwood and Chong too.If they are prepared to be back-up players then I would be content for them to stay until Greenwood is a realistic contender for a place in the team. So at least next season, possibly two seasons.
I don't want either of them to start games ahead of Martial and Rashford respectively.
If either wants to leave then I wouldn't have a problem with selling them.
For all their faults, they have both made a contribution towards the impressive run of results under Solskjaer.
Exacty. Its shamefulPeople want to sell whoever isn't currently in the first eleven.
That's a really good question, I think we can move on Sanchez and keep Lukaku. At the moment we have a solid front 3 with Martial Rashford and Lingard, we could bring in Sancho to replace Lingard in our starting 11 and sell Sanchez but Lukaku is something we lack either coming off the bench or as a starter.Haven't read all the posts yet so may have missed it, but would love to know who the wombleheads that have voted 'both' would bring in to replace them
Because this depth doesn't provide quality. Sanchez, as much as I like him, has been simply cack, Lukaku has been massively disappointing this season too.Why the feck would we offload both of them when we finally have some depth going forward after so many years?
Clearly yes his physicality is one of his main, well... strengths. He's left footed and his positioning is good. These abilities can be used against specific opponents.What part of Lukaku’s game is ‘unique’ exactly?
