Give me a top class keeper and I'd stick Rashford up top over getting a striker in and still having De Gea back there.With a rumour of budget constrain for this summer spending , what is more important for us going into next season? A keeper or a striker (if we have to choose one)
I personally would rather go with de gea as our keeper than Martial as number 9. But I also understand the importance of having a keeper who can play progressive football.
Mods- Polls would be appreciated.
You're talking as if the best ball playing GK would allow you significantly improve this team several levels. If it's only one signing and that's all the eggs in one basket for GK, it's almost impossible to transform from to 70+% possession peak Barcelona with this composition of this squad.I'd rather replace the keeper and take more control of games, play a higher line and create more chances by doing that, than have a guy up top having the ball lumped at him from deep and trying to feed off long through balls and second balls 90% of the time.
We have only scored 51 league goals while Bruno constantly creates most/2nd most chances in the league. And I can actually see us scoring even less next season if we don’t sign a quality striker.Keeper would be my top priority
Rashford and Martial are both decent strikers and we have tons of options for the wide forward roles.
If Rashford plays as mainly a central striker his goal output will be half what it is now, he's best with space in front of him that he can run into, no way he will get that playing centrallyWould I rather see Rashford as a striker but Garnacho or buy Maddison or other new LW on the left for us to buy quality keeper that can retain possession against high press? Yes!!
To me, quality keeper that can retain possession against high press will improve our away games because the main reason we have shit away record is because we are struggling to take control of the game against high press, can’t keep possession if we hoof the ball all the time.
This season Rashford has better goals ratio per game as centre forward than as left winger or left forward or even right forward. Rashford wouldn't score the kind of goals that run into open space but he would still able to score the same kind of goals that he scored vs Man City. Having Rashford for half season or full season as our centre forward while buying us more time until 2024 when the striker market will be a lot cheaper will be my preference will be my preference. We can sign 3 players with 100m budget to improve our goals and keeper by relying on Rashford as centre forward.If Rashford plays as mainly a central striker his goal output will be half what it is now, he's best with space in front of him that he can run into, no way he will get that playing centrally
Good luck finding the striker we need without spending those amountsI think this thread is very unfair because keeper doesn't cost 100m so we can sign both striker and keeper if we can find a striker that doesn't cost 75m-100m.
The thread should be spend 100m on striker only or spend 60m on Højlund and the other money on keeper?
We need to because we only have 100m to spend.Good luck finding the striker we need without spending those amounts
