Trying to do a Malacia style hijack supposedly just without the agreed fee part
Marcos Leonardo....Young Brazilian Striker
- Thread starter bosskeano
- Start date
Haaland was a proven striker, with the only question mark being adaptation to the league.
But he is not a top striker. The point is these 2 would be equally unproven at a high level.
Having said that, I will.gladly take any additional striker help provided he is a proper no.9
What choice do we have? There are no decent established strikers available for a fee we can afford. We signed a dozen older strikers on short term deals over the last few years and not one of them has worked out. Youngsters are our only option.
I could see us getting Toney in January but what will he cost.
Yeah agreed. That's why I later clarified I'm just happy to have another striker, if he is indeed a proper 9
Fcuk it, I’m in
Would be nice to have CF depth, no matter the quality at this point
Gazette del unreliable is it ?
Vitor Roque is way much better, but also much more expensive.
Are people complaining? I'd be happy to sign Leonardo, I just think it's unlikely we'll make the signing knowing how we generally operate. All messages I've seen here seem to similarly not be against the signing but think it probably just won't happen
Vitor Roque's already been signed by Barcelona. Yes though he will definitely be a star
Very similar profile to Hojlund on paper.
If this guy can play right forward as well (therefore filling the Greenwood gap in terms of versatility) then I’m down for it.

Did Barca not sign him?
The sort of link I love to see! However it's also the sort of link that will never materialise.
Definitely would need to sign him, he will replacement for Greenwood.
Toney would need to be playing the majority of the minutes going to justify signing him. I think we could split minutes and bring one of them on at 60 mins when we’ve two young strikers.
never does
likes a backheel flick, will fit in with Bruno well
just fecking sign him

There's still hope. We have a new structure and ETH. Things might change. I really wish us to start signing these low risk cheap potentials. Most top clubs do the same. They sign big names for the starting XI and these kids for backups and the future.
if only had the money would be a great purchase to compliment hojlund. Get 2 young CFs and be set for the future with the hope of both hitting their stride. Wont happen though we are broke AF and our players we want to sell either arent wanted or dont want to leave their big paycheck behind.
They are yet to pay the first amortization of the transfer and are waiting for the Champions League money to pay it. This transfer might not be as closed as people think. But knowing iberian culture pretty sure some bankster who is a Barça fanatic will make sure they will have a credit line with small interest to save their day.
These highlights are the first time I've ever seen him. Completely sold. Buy. Everyone else is getting Brazilian forwards, why shouldn't we?
Guy falls over on 0 contact
Is there anything with credibility reporting this?
Looks very promising for the bargain basement we're shopping in. Any legs to this story?
Attacking Brazilian player what could go wrong? Sign him
Maybe we're targeting him as we were banking on using Greenwood this season?
Antony?
We're good, he's never worked with Erik before nor been almost signed by Ajax or played in the Eredivisie.
Yes that's what I was getting at .
United were quoted from many sources to be interested in him in May however with the planned return of Greenwood, that priority maybe changed.
So if they have information from that time on him they may well be interested now considering the predicament we are in.
We just bought hojlund, how is us having two unproven prospects boost our chances?
I'd love it. I just can't see us doing something this sensible in the market
Not to be hyperbole, but he has shades of the big Ronaldo about him.
Two rolls of the dice...
That’s still better than only having 1 signing and hoping he comes good. We’re fecked if Holjund gets injured
Exactly, I'd rather have two young strikers vying for the position and providing some depth than just one, or having to play players out of position continuously.
As others have pointed out, City signed Alvarez and Haaland. They'll both get plenty of minutes, but if one of them does get fed up and wants to leave they'll be selling them for a massive profit.
We literally used to have 3/4 good strikers in the squad most of the time, and they all contributed. We basically have one now and he's 20. We can absolutely do with another striker
If he can finish I'm in.
These are the transfers to go for. We have to sign players like these. It’s easy to shift them if they don’t work out as well. Even if it doesnt work it’s better to waste 20m here and there instead of spunking 90 or 80m after these players move to clubs in europe
Why not? What’s wrong with having two young strikers?
