Funny that Arsenal, a team with less resources than us, managed to sign both Lacazette and Aubameyang in recent times. I dare say that either of those would improve us.
Simple - we are not talking about today. Note the words "potential striker targets "I'm all for it but we simply don't have one and right now he's helping us a lot on the right. What's wrong with useful?
Nothing. This is what we should do in my opinion. Move him back to the position we initially bought him for. I feel like finding top-class wingers/inside-forwards would be easier than looking for a top-level striker anyway.Can anyone explain to me what is wrong with having Martial as our main striker? If you give Martial 50 games a season, he'd score I think 20+ goals and contribute to maybe 5 to 10 assists. That is not a bad return for such a young lad.
We have the resources and we used it on Mikhitaryan, Lukaku, Sanchez, Zlatan (poor long term thinking but can't hate against that signing tbh). Mourinho just doesn't know how to buy playersFunny that Arsenal, a team with less resources than us, managed to sign both Lacazette and Aubameyang in recent times.

Paco wouldn't work at United. He's a pure goalscorer who doesn't contribute to the build up of play. Even with his fantastic goals return he doesn't start regularly for Dortmund, and when he has he has generally been disappointing. His effect comes late in the match with the opposition is tired and the game is more stretched.Paco Alcacer is on fire and cost Dortmund 22m. Will we ever get a good deal like this?
Difficult to buy ready made players for cheap. Additionally, buying younger players when we are not atm able to improve them is not an option either. Still the potential best deal around seems to be Luka Jovic at Eintracht Frankfurth(Loan from Benfica with a rumoured option to buy for 6m euros, but if he refuses to sign for them it is said that he got a 12m euros clause in his contract with Benfica).Paco Alcacer is on fire and cost Dortmund 22m.

1 goal every third game for the last two seasons. Would do better in a better team, but not that good a player.What ever happened to that Belotti guy at Torino? Remember his name appearing everywhere last season or two ago. Has he stopped scoring?
I'd take either of them over lukaku in a heartbeatFunny that Arsenal, a team with less resources than us, managed to sign both Lacazette and Aubameyang in recent times. I dare say that either of those would improve us.
Never said they had comparable ability though...He is far from leader, he is mentally tough though.
Zlatan and Icardi are miles apart in their ability though and also 2 completely different players. Like 2 extreme examples.
Whoops. 3-4-1-2 is what I meant. That'll teach me for rushing a post.This is a good post, however my favourite suggestion without a doubt is the proposed formation. Surely we'll do better next season if they let us field that extra player
Rules out Icardi. Hopefully we don't sign him. We need someone like Rooney, Aguero (not saying as good but with similar skillset). We shouldn't sign limited players .Out of the best strikers right now you'd say that Icardi is probably the only one that would be potentially attainable. I don't think Kane will leave Spurs unless they drastically fail to reach the same targets they've been attaining, he really does seem to be a one club man for me, whether that's best for his career or not.
I don't really watch Serie A much so don't know how good Icardi is at playmaking which is something that Kane also excels at. He can dictate if needs be which is something that Lukaku really lacks, so when you're getting he's getting no service he's pretty tragic.
Point being, you need a striker that is going to dictate play aswell as get you goals because you just don't have any service to whoever plays up top at the moment. Ideally you'd improve on both factors in the summer.
Martial - he has Henry level potential. Sooner we understand , better for us.Out of the best strikers right now you'd say that Icardi is probably the only one that would be potentially attainable.

The same way Fergie would have bought Bale?Simple. It has to be Harry kane.
Best striker in the world and English. Fergie would have bought him long ago.
I got ridiculed for mentioning this . Rather spend 75m on him than Dybala. He is a superstar in makingI think Richarlison has the potential to be the next PL bully of a South American striker. He’s in the Suarez and Diego Costa mould. Not the most silk, but a nightmare to play against, big and strong, and can score goals.
I think he’ll become a 25 goal striker at the right club in the next few years. That said, I also believe in Mason Greenwood more than any academy prospect I’ve ever seen. I’m not the biggest youth football expert, but from what I know, I think he’s the best centre forward prospect in the world outside first team level.
He’s like a young Diego Costa.?An absolute handful to play against, and I think he can become Brazil’s first choice 9 too.I got ridiculed for mentioning this . Rather spend 75m on him than Dybala. He is a superstar in making
They had enough supply today and could do shit. Against a relegated team. At home.Dont think strikers should be top priority for the summer. It is the supply line, RW a whols midfield and full backs. Get that sorted abd Rashford, Martial and Lukaku xan still do a job.

€70m is way too crazy for his level. Not saying I want Dybala. But I would rather stick with either Martial or Rashford than overpaying the fees on the player that might not be the right one again.I got ridiculed for mentioning this . Rather spend 75m on him than Dybala. He is a superstar in making
