We don’t start the likes of Hannibal and Iqbal over Fred and McTominay. You think we will start another 19 year old over Ronaldo?
I think Hannibal and Iqbal although talented aren't ready for the next step. I think Sesko is ready to play minutes.

He has barely played in his own league yet somehow he is ready for minutes to lead the line in the toughest league in the world.

Maybe not, he does look like he's ready to play some minutes. But that's my opinion. Hannibal for me looks like he needs to go on loan.

I'd rather spend 50m on him then get Arnautović on a free though. We need someone there, even if it's a random 18 year old with high potential but is physically ready to handle the league. Better than nothing, and better than Arnautović which would send all the wrong signals to the squad. We have 3 weeks left to send some signal of intent with this transfer window to try and change the mindset of our team. Needs to be done.

Arnautovic isn't free though. Heard Bologna are demanding 15m for him. :lol:

Those two against the tanks in the PL. Good luck. They'd get fecking murdered out there.

I didn't say it was a master plan mate. I think it's a logical thing if we sign Sesko and he agrees to join next season. If not I'm not in favor of the move.

There is such a lack of good strikers in the market now it makes sense not to panic buy someone just for the sake of it and get a shorter-term option for this season.

You don't have to agree it's just my opinion and I also respect yours or anyone else who disagrees.
Gonna have to disagree there. Didn’t work out with the manager did it? Interim proved to be a shitty idea.
Somebody like a striker we need to get in a long term option so the team can learn to play with him, his movement in the box, the runs he makes, how he receives a pass (running onto or back to goal) and any hold up play he might do.

I'd take Zlatan ahead of Arnautovic. I'd take Zlatan 10 years from now ahead of Arnautovic

Oh my goodness, we are doomed.

So this is why Arnautovic is being targeted.

Well our chance to sign him has surely gone now, if that tweet from Romano is true. All the big clubs will be after him if he hits it off at Leipzig.

We started a midfielder over Ronaldo in the 1 game of the season. Glad it’s set in stone for you how the season will go after 1 game!

Well the only hope I have for the season is the Glazers selling the club because otherwise I couldn't give a toss about this season under this squad of players
