I don’t really see a problem with this considering we need five or six new players and we can’t get that many long term targets in one window. Having a short term fix for goals is fine, should allow us to focus on other positions and we can return to looking for a striker next summer.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Can't believe so many are ok with this. fecking shambles. 5-6 years ago? Sure why not. But now? How fecking desperate are we? Great planning all around
As a stopgap he'll do fine. As long as the price is OK. He has the hunger and fight that is completely alien to our squad. I'd say outside of FDJ that should be the key requirement for all incoming transfers to root out this loser culture as fast as we can. And try to shift as many as we possibly can before the end of the month. Most definitely including Ronaldo.
Let's buy a striker who thrives on running for long balls even though we want to play a high line under EtH 
Vardy, morata, Rabiot and SMS. It's as if we're using scouting reports of 5 years ago
it started off in the Rabiot thread, oh he is better than McT let's buy him
Now it's lets buy Vardy as we have no one as a striker
I can’t remember when the last time I heard him score a goal
So a 35 year old counter attack striker is going to change our fortunes? FFS this joke of a club.
A publication is only as good as its writers
feck off. We’ve gone from laughing stock, to comedy club to rival fans actually feeling sorry for us. Jamie fecking Vardy.
What long term options are available though now?
Weird statement, he was a gem in FPL last season
Broke United FC
In my mind he really doesn't suit the sort of football I thought Ten Hag wanted us to play.
Man is an absolute legend of the Prem, Rashford should’ve modelled his game on Vardy’s nonstop intensity rather than going in the other direction
It wasn’t a joke - I just heard about him less last season, maybe it was just me.
if he is still good then why not
Ah i hear ya. Yeah he was injured a bit last season, but he aint done yet
I'm convinced this is how we go about our transfers.
Please no.
Scored 150 goals in 330 games for Lestah and people are turning their noses up? 
25 million.
half a decade late but we'll take him on a free or cheap. Hasn't scored less than 15 goals since 17-18. Not sure why he's a target though, surely there are better options?
If it’s rabiot PLUS FDJ then people are fine with it. If it’s Vardy PLUS an Antony people would be fine with it. We need 5 players - they can’t all be 40m plus.
If he's available for less than 10m. I would be on board.
After serving a week ban for a post in the Arnautovic thread, Jamie Vardy will be the end of me.
Same here, for a year or two it wont be the worst to have someone able to score some goals, as a backup or at times a regular starter, until we get our real object who we can develop long-term (naively believeing that's gonna happen here).
Best on counters however, not sure he's a Ten Hag posession-fit
Ifs
If we playing the if buts and maybe game, then it could maybe just be Vardy and Rabiot
Let’s just bring back Zlatan
Guess we ran out of 33 year old to scout
Don't mind this tbh. He's a fast shit and gets stuck in. Would score goals and leave it on the pitch. Not many of our players leave anything on the pitch nowadays
The scary thing is some on here would absolutely celebrate this.
No thanks
Right. If it is then no - people wouldn’t be happy. You were moaning about people being fine with it - find someone on this place happy if our only remaining signings are rabiot and vardy?
Yeah this is my problem with it, even as a place holder there needs to be some joined up thinkingLet's buy a striker who thrives on running for long balls even though we want to play a high line under EtH
He's 35 for feck sake
Scouting department coming up with another blinder.
As if opposition fans don’t have grounds to give us enough shit at the moment, let’s bring in a player who’s a Mk1 prick and will be getting, and rightly so, shit for having a cnut of a wife.

Let's keep tabs on Mourinho as well, in case Ten Hag walks
too scientific.I'm convinced this is how we go about our transfers.
At least 4 years too late. The state of this club man. 
Honestly at this point I think those reports are controlled leaks to manage fans expectations. This is why we end up with "Is signing no one better than just signing anyone?" threads and we're happy United pulled the plug on unwanted transfers.
I mean "he's a cnut" has been the key for those players we're allegedly chasing, apart from FDJ saga.
