Glenn Murray to United
Deadline day signing predictions
- Thread starter The Boy
- Start date
Not sure we'll get one over the line, but I do expect us to go big for a backup striker.
With the current popularity of loan then buy deals going on, I can't see how we can justify not getting 1 more player in. Just get a striker in with some different qualities on loan with a buy fee on the end of it
That would be more preferable to the time he left us for Palace. He had to do a lot to make up for that
We will be linked with someone super exciting for about 3-4 hours and then we will hear something about unreasonable agent demands or complicated ownership rights.
Nothing will actually happen but we will spin a yarn to earn some clicks.

We won't be signing anyone else.
Muppet in me says Cavani, head says Tesco as our new preferred grocery partner.
This seems incredibly probable.
No one for us, Giroud will stay. Or we will sell him without replacing, can't put it past us.
Anyone claiming we don't need a striker or creative attacker though, is talking absolute shit

I think we need a RW more than a striker with Rashford out:
James-Martial-RW
-----Pogba-Bruno--
------------Fred---------
could score enough goals to really rack up enough points to sneak into 4th if Chelsea remain inconsistent.
and you can put McTominay or Matic in and drop an attacker if you need in some games. Pogba and Bruno are pretty versatile so shouldn't be a huge issue. And Greenwood's finishing means he might be better up top on a team that can actually get the ball into the final third as opposed to having to try to impact games from RW.
We'll either go cheap or big but we'll try something. Something!!
I think we will get Cavani on loan with an option to buy.
Jimenez would be nice
Isn't he free in the summer?
Buying from who? His contract ends in June and he is free agent then.
Didn't know that.
That’s what I think is going to happen as well unfortunately.
Ed will then release a statement that the money was there but they ran out of time.
Is Danny Welbeck fit these days? United could be an option.
Himself?
Players ask for signing on fee or the same apportioned over the length of their contracts. Nothing is free.
If in doubt, the default answer to this question is always no
Why is no one trying for Edouard for Celtic. He’s class and would definitely be worth a punt. Looks a class above in Scotland just like a certain VVD did.
Just like Scott Sinclair did you mean.
Edouard is infinitely more talented and it’d be a punt anyway. I’d rather him than Dembele (also been around Celtic).
What about Alfredo Morelos, we haven't had a proper nut job upfront since Eric and we're long overdue one, i'd take Suarez but he's injured.
I reckon Ed might get us an official toothpaste sponsor.
Don't do this to yourself. It's the hope that kills you!
We will get a striker in and Jude Bellingham.
Ok maybe Bellingham will be for the summer
Ok maybe the striker will also be for the summer
Feck this.

Suarez?
There isn't enough time for Woodward and Co. to finalise another deal.
Having just watched the Eddie Howe presser this morning I'd expect us to sign Josh King today to be honest
I think we might get him too.
Hasn’t Josh Kong been injured most of this season? Last thing we need is anotheR attacker struggling for fitness.
What did he say?
I was kind of hoping this would happen but the Athletic are saying Bournemouth are looking for a striker themselves so they definitely won’t let him go because they’re not looking like they can get one done in time.
Would loaning them Greenwood be a worthwhile risk I wonder?
We can definitely afford to send them Chong and Gomes on loan for 6 months if not.
Giroud to Spurs.... oh and Bale!
"Josh is much valued and loved by us and obviously another club has seen how good he is so let's wait and see. He's a massive part of our team.
"He's got unique pace and strength coupled with technical ability and an eye for goal. Speaking as the manager of the club, I'd be very reluctant to lose a player of that quality and the difficulty is, how late it is in the window.
Eddie Howe quote -
I’m not going to deny anything you’ve read [about Bournemouth rejecting a bid for King]. Who knows what’s going to happen? Josh is much valued and loved by us and another club has obviously seen how good he is. Speaking as the manager, with a day to go, I would be very reluctant to lose a player of that quality [but] a lot of these things are out of my control. I love him as a player and person. I know what Manchester United means to him with his history with the club. He’s a massive part of out team. He brings that unique pace and strength that he has. He can play an number of positions for us too.
Looks like it could potentially happen.

Despite the loan fee and high wage demands can still see someone trying for Cavani before the day is out.
I am surprised we haven't tried to make a late approach for Mertens. My gut feeling on Jovic is that maybe we are looking at him for the summer.
Surely looking at loan options until the summer is better than paying a fee for King. However I am just a fan so probably know nothing about it.

I think if we really pushed for him we would get him. Would be a different and good option for us.
Sending Greenwood out to get King would be like kneecapping oneself to buy a crutch.
