I agreed to an extent with your point in your earlier post btw just not the example you used. On Mata, he was straight up replaced by a similar player of much lower rating who's since outperformed him, he wasn't good enough. He wasn't good enough for them and he hasn't been for us either. Torres was great in the years preceding his switch to Chelsea, that doesn't mean he was good enough at that time.
Can't stand him.
I'd take him, he does what our current wingers don't tend to do and that's drive at players, makes things happen.
Yeah I don't get it. If there's a chance to sign someone world class who will improve one of our weak spots then sure we should go for it, but if not then why not look at younger players that look ready to make a step up? Dybala for example would give us more invention and pace up front, and allow Di Maria to play in midfield more often. A signing or two like that could solve some of our problems just as effectively as signing a big name player, and give us younger players who could improve in the future at the same time.
Its possible that some clubs (with FFP in mind) might be willing to cash in on a big name but I think overall this last part will prove to be our biggest stumbling block.
The difference is Mata was warming the bench for 6 months which did take away from his value and brand (even though we paid £37m for him)
I really like Sissoko
I think this guy could do a god job for us. The price cant be to bad either?
I agree tbh, hes a very good player.
Really?????????? Jesus. Is that what the majority on here think???
Not really. I am really suprised that the concensus think he would get into our team, never mind single handedly improve us!jojose knows best
Afraid it's a case of muppet fever, buy anyone, don't care who it is but buy somebody, please....
The idea that the majority of players mentioned are anywhere near the qaulity we have, never mind what we should be looking for is rediculous. Dont get me wrong, I am not one of these that is looking for us to sign 3 Galatico's evry window but Sissokho, Mirrales etc.....jesus. Imagine the uproar if Moyes signed those two last january!Afraid it's a case of muppet fever, buy anyone, don't care who it is but buy somebody, please....
If Mirallas wasn't hurt all the time, he'd help us. We are desperate for a wide attacker for a variety of reasons - especially when we play 4 at the back - and he is a pretty good one.
He inhabits the spot I expect Depay to be occupying this summer, assuming the Reus transfer doesn't happen for us.
To the right with Di Maria on the left and Carrick or Blind as the base in a midfield three?
