Bit different, Higuain really struggled to cope with juventus dumping him, mentally. He got to chelsea via milan, where he was already flopping hard.
He would be very happy if you sign him Mandzukic!
haha....that's a given
Chance of Pochettino in the summer. Let Allegri off to spurs.
No idea. Would be interesting to see him in such a role. Team would get good results though
Agree, but how much would they want. Dembele is quoted at around 60million, is this right.
Not to sure bud, if they are as in as much trouble as is being reported, you could think 50M ish should be enough, maybe less as they need to balance the books.
Trash and didn't want to be here. Herrera leaving was down to Jose, nothing to do with Ole, but dont let your agenda misguide you as you apparently you know exactly what happened in the January 2020 window, in October 2019
If Ole wanted Herrera he could've re-signed a player that loved playing for the club. Herrera said as much as he left.Trash and didn't want to be here.

Why does everyone say “agenda” if they have a different opinion on here, seriously don’t remember this place that way back in the day
Wouldve been a great signing a few years ago. He's turning 34 at the end of the season though and his fitness hasn't been the same in this calendar year, and it's looking like he won't play a game for Juve this season. So we'd be signing a late 33 year old after 9 months without a competitive game who has never played in the premier league and who has never been a regular goalscorer. We'd be banking on him rolling back like 5 years in terms of performances to be properly useful. I understand the need for a player like what he used to be, but I don't think theres a good chance we'll get that if he comes.
Hear Hear.
Look at it this way - if we cant get anyone else then (since its january and we are in a bad spot), would you rather we got none?
I don’t think he’d be signed as a goalscorer, that’s never been his thing, he would be a focal point, as Mourinho mistakenly thought Lukaku might be, to then bring into play the pace of James Rashford and/or Martial, depending which was out injured. He would also be used as a starter against lower placed teams who parked the bus, to pin the centre halves against crosses to create room for midfielders like mctominay to come in and have a pop.
Also, playing for Bayern and Juve which dominated most of their league games, he is very much used to playing against teams which is compact and defensive most of the game, exactly what we are struggling with.
I see the logic, and I'd be all for that if he could handle it (or if he was a few years younger). What I see him being is just too old and not in shape enough to adapt to the premier league and us being a last pay cheque. He was on the verge of going to China ffs.
I’d agree with that, given his current fitness status has a large question mark over it, I do have concerns this would not be the mandzukic we knew... who in himself never really felt like a Man Utd player.
^^100%^^
I'm not against signing a striker in Jan, even on a short term contract. I'm just thinking if Martial comes in, does well, which is possible as we have a decent run of games and Pogba back. The club might think between Rash, Martial and Greenwood they have the strikers position covered enough until end of season, when they can make their move.
It's all so contradictory and hypocritical.
