Not Jose's type of striker, though.Sanchez can do that as well.
Arnautovic and Mandzukic are target men.

Just like Mane...He is the sort of signing we would have laughed at the scousers for making a few years ago.
Hope we stay well away.
He is a good footballer, sometimes.I don't think some of yous lot would recognise a good footballer if you fell over one, deary me
I’d say that accurately describes every member of our current squad.He is a good footballer, sometimes.
Ergo, not good enough for what we should be aiming for.
Yer, jose knows best, & you know jose.Not Jose's type of striker, though.

He is a good player yeah, but not a great one. Not one you'd expect the likes of Madrid, Barca, Bayern, or dare i even say, city or pool would go after. We should be aiming for great, exceptional players or those with that sort of potential, and not settling for good players that can "play a role" in the team.I don't think some of yous lot would recognise a good footballer if you fell over one, deary me
Bayern signed Sandro Wagner though? We need a backup forward. We are being linked to Arnautovic and Mandzukic. What are people expecting?He is a good player yeah, but not a great one.

Simply burying your head in the sand if you're not the least bit underwhelmed at potentially signing him.
He spent far too much of his time from 17-25 trying to live up to his reputation as the bad boy of Austrian football to have the career his natural ability deserved, but he's mellowed a fair bit now, and when it all comes together for him(not often enough granted) he's as good as anybody in the Premier League at attacking the box from out wide(left and right)and is virtually unstoppable.He is a good footballer, sometimes.

This is not what is needed - what we need is for our manager to be flexible with his tactics & realise that when needed, Rashford & Martial are more than capable of providing goals upfront if he makes the right tactical changes to get the best out of them - not play them like sole target men.Bayern signed Sandro Wagner though?

I'm well aware of what he used to be like and he has definitely mellowed but he's still incredibly inconsistent and very moody on the pitch. He didn't score until December last season and was generally utterly dogshit up until then. He has all the talent in the world but he's not worth buying for any amount of money in case he decides he can't be arsed.He spent far too much of his time from 17-25 trying to live up to his reputation as the bad boy of Austrian football to have the career his natural ability deserved, but he's mellowed a fair bit now, and when it all comes together for him(not often enough granted) he's as good as anybody in the Premier League at attacking the box from out wide(left and right)and is virtually unstoppable.
Not suggesting we should sign him, certainly not for £50m, but we could do worse, a lot worse
Exactly, we don't need another one.I’d say that accurately describes every member of our current squad.
Ergo, pointless.
This.To West Ham he is worth 40+ million, bit like Sigurdsson the other season for Swansea, worth much more to the club then he’s actually worth due to the fact they are unlikely to be able to sign someone who is better than him, Swansea with Sigurdsson didn’t replace him with anyone as good and probably the difference between them staying up and going down.
He will be taking Judo lessons from Sergio Ramos over the summer.tbf he's been ok this season but it is common knowledge if you press him he can panic or resort to pulling the opponents shirt.
How would Enrique have done better than Jose? Pep ran away with the title and we came second. Our playing style was tumescent but and it’s been said a million times. The manager has patched up the team all season as it’s full of average players. Oh I give up what is the point. Let’s see how we look next season with new additions.I agree 100% with you. If I was the CEO I would have fired him. Honestly, not because he didnt deliver any trophies, but because the standard and the style of performances is not acceptable.In addition I would have turned to Enrique, whom with the likes of Lukaku, Martial, Sanchez, Pogba, Mata and Rashford at his disposal would have taken us to a higher level
Cracking player.“Mourinho's (well hidden) eyes were also turned towards two players of the Russian national team: Aleksandr Golovin of CSKA Moscow and Fëdor Smolov, Krasnodar striker.’’
Yes Mourinho does deserve major criticism for the way we play but some do overrate our players quite a lot as you mentioned we still have some very average players who are getting playing time beyond their talent deserves hopefully Mourinho fixes it this season otherwise we may have to look for another manager soon because buck stops with him.How would Enrique have done better than Jose?

Totally agree but in my opinion he’s done well in his time so far. So to keep him makes sense. The fact City flew this season has affected a lot of people’s expectations in my opinion. No manager would have done significantly better with this squad and Jose signings look good to me. We should see the benefits of his signings for years to come with Bailey Lukaku Pogba Matic the spine of our team. I’m actually looking forward to a fit a flying Sanchez also after a rest and preseason. Plus the new players will add a bit of excitement and improve our overall play. Jose teams have always been functional but they’ve also been great to watch as well often pumping teams 2-3-4 nil. The narrative that he plays dull dreadful football has been fed by this team this year no doubt but it’s not always been the case. I can’t wait to he’s got us firing on all cylinders with all the players bought in to his ways.Yes Mourinho does deserve major criticism for the way we play but some do overrate our players quite a lot as you mentioned we still have some very average players who are getting playing time beyond their talent deserves hopefully Mourinho fixes it this season otherwise we may have to look for another manager soon because buck stops with him.
At this point in time, I'm not fussed about whether Jose stays or goes.I agree 100% with you. If I was the CEO I would have fired him.

He's nothing like Mane.Just like Mane...
My exact thoughts. Why are we bothering.22 goals in 120 games for Stoke. Sounds just like the player for us...
Hang on, Jesus was the exact same age as Dalot and had only played around thirty games. He was also nearly twice the price.I have but this squad needs improvement for this season coming not in 4 years. But come on a RB with 7 first team appearances for £20m. City got one of the best prospects in the world for less than £30m in Gabriel Jesus. That was just 18 months ago.
At the same time, we could buy all of WBA’s players from this season and still there would be people bigging up every single one of them.I don't think some of yous lot would recognise a good footballer if you fell over one, deary me
Imagine all the crap you could buy in Poundland for £50million.Poundland Zlatan
I don't think too many of the flawless scouts on here that said Mane wasn't good enough have owned up to it. It will be the same here if we sign Arnautovic and he impresses them any. Not saying he is a world beater but absolutely would be a good addition to the squad and add a bit of verve and grit to our bench.Just like Mane...
Yeah, but I think that's why we have Secure UnitsAt the same time, we could buy all of WBA’s players from this season and still there would be people bigging up every single one of them.
