To be fair Liverpool signed the actual English Andy Carroll for an eye watering amount so you know, no guarantee of quality or success in the PL.But he's a Uruguayan Andy Carroll, has no technique, can't control the ball blah blah
Klopp seems pretty keen, what does he know Guess that leaves us with Teemo Pukki.
Why wouldn’t he start?Personally have not seen us spending £85m on a back up striker. So much surgery required in the squad that spending that kind of money on a player who is unlikely to start would be mad.
The striker market is like a ghost town. I'd be very tempted to take a punt on someone like Amine Gouiri, then revisit this again next year.The real question is, we need a striker, with him going to Liverpool - who is actually left
Wikipedia says he once knocked in a couple against New Caledonia U17s. Sign him up.The striker market is like a ghost town. I'd be very tempted to take a punt on someone like Amine Gouiri, then revisit this again next year.
I think that’s pretty obvious.Why wouldn’t he start?
Humour me.I think that’s pretty obvious.
It’s not just the striker market. It feels like any good player is either unattainable or will cost an arm and a leg.The striker market is like a ghost town. I'd be very tempted to take a punt on someone like Amine Gouiri, then revisit this again next year.
He will say Ronaldo, you will say he can play off the left + rotate with RonnieHumour me.
No they’re not, this is nothing but a way to drive up the already ludicrous price for United.
No, I’d say he can play up top and Ronaldo can warm the bench. Or if we really insist on playing him Ronaldo can play left. Rangnick already said Ronaldo doesn’t like playing striker.He will say Ronaldo, you will say he can play off the left + rotate with Ronnie
True and a great analogy to finish.A few days ago Mitten effectively said although there was some interest from United, nothing was advanced and a lot of the talk came from the agent.
Would imagine a lot of our reported interest has been to speed up Liverpool
I'm starting to twitch a bit at United's inactivity though. Like when someone is 20 minutes late home, it's not time to panic and call the police yet, but you start to wonder
Jesus of Manchester.Haaland
Nunez
Ivan Toney
Fair point. Lack of decent alternatives to both De Jong and Nunez. Any alternative will either be simply not as good, or young and learning.It’s not just the striker market. It feels like any good player is either unattainable or will cost an arm and a leg.
You know Cristiano Ronaldo, paid £500k a week. Doesn’t like sitting on the bench. Arguably still one of the best strikers in the world. The face of commercial United. If he’s fit he starts.Humour me.
He’s also 37 years old, has had a season with longer goal droughts than he’s had at any point since he became a top player and doesn’t even like playing striker according to Rangnick. If we’re prepared to pay big money for a striker it’ll be because he’s starting.You know Cristiano Ronaldo, paid £500k a week. Doesn’t like sitting on the bench.

He hasn't ever really been a lone striker thoughYou know Cristiano Ronaldo, paid £500k a week. Doesn’t like sitting on the bench. Arguably still one of the best strikers in the world. The face of commercial United. If he’s fit he starts.
"Ronaldo can warm the bench"No, I’d say he can play up top and Ronaldo can warm the bench. Or if we really insist on playing him Ronaldo can play left. Rangnick already said Ronaldo doesn’t like playing striker.
Except for when he did for the entirety of last season and with Juventus. Do you guys even watch United? Ronaldo hasn’t played wide for years and can barely dribble with the balls these days. He’s a poacher and spares his energy for runs into the box. Even at Madrid Benzema was the player that dropped deeper to allow Ronaldo the space, hence why Benzema had low goal scoring stats competed to now. To suggest he’s had a striking partner isn’t true.He hasn't ever really been a lone striker though
I'm increasingly thinking this too. And he'll end up costing similar to Nuñez.We will most likely go for Richarlison
Because Leipzig also want £80m+Why dont we go for Nkunku?
ETH is comfortable playing without a striker.The real question is, we need a striker, with him going to Liverpool - who is actually left
