Van Gaal forced him out to make room for Falcao.I'm just glad we didn't welcome him back after he jumped ship the moment things got difficult post-Fergie.

Shouldn't need outgoings to afford Welbeck, and purely numbers wise we can definitely add him without any negatives. With all the games we'll have, doesn't hurt having him added. Would finally give us 2 per position everywhere (even if an uninspiring 2 in plenty of positions, but at least the numbers would be there).No outgoings yet in attack (Hojlund's was effectively sealed last summer)
He asked to leave. It's on record.Van Gaal forced him out to make room for Falcao.
They just signed Rogers for a Euromillions jackpot to play as the 10 along with PalmerPedro can play deeper and I think they played together at Brighton, so that’s part of the reason Alonso might be interested in hi 3-5-2.
Jackson will likely leave and honestly don't think Alonso rates Delap at all, so even if he stays, the pecking order would be
1. Joao Pedro
2. Welbeck
3. Delap
No idea what Brighton are asking but surely we could get a few million loan fee for Zirkzee. Plus the Greenwood money that we can't have been banking on this summer.Shouldn't need outgoings to afford Welbeck, and purely numbers wise we can definitely add him without any negatives.

Yes, let's invent imaginary scenarios in our head to hate Danny Welbeck of all people.I'm just glad we didn't welcome him back after he jumped ship the moment things got difficult post-Fergie.

Nah, there were rumours that he wanted to leave under Moyes because he was being played out wide.Van Gaal forced him out to make room for Falcao.

why would there be bitterness?Does he actually still have an affinity for United?
Or is there actually bitterness there?
Cos he's looked at Redcafe.net in the past decade and has seen what you've all been saying about him.why would there be bitterness?
Yeah fair.Cos he's looked at Redcafe.net in the past decade and has seen what you've all been saying about him.
He's very fondly spoken about apart from 2 days per year when he's scoring against us.Cos he's looked at Redcafe.net in the past decade and has seen what you've all been saying about him.
Don't look at the first page of this thread! Some slanderous stuff there.He's very fondly spoken about apart from 2 days per year when he's scoring against us.
Why? He wasn't good for us 10 years ago, why should we get him now?Surely we need to get involved with this?
If I remember correctly, he wanted to play centrally but he was seen as a wide forward here. He's gone and proven himself as a very good central option, I'd love to welcome him back.He asked to leave. It's on record.
I recall reading in Mitten’s fanzine that there was interest/talks in bringing him back two years ago and he would have been happy with the experienced squad player type role (similar to Evans). But ten Hag never pulled the trigger on it and he waited as long as he felt he could before signing a new deal with Brighton.Does he actually still have an affinity for United?

Enough of this , we cant keep looking backwardsUnited need to step the feck in and bring him back.

It would be a bit like Evans signing. Doesn't make much sense except nostalgia of a period which was better.
Yeah, but he also never scored more than 10 goals except the season (and scored 10 only twice on his career).He got 13 goals last season which isn’t bad for a veteran striker
Hope not he's terribleWe'll go after Delap.
