My thoughts exactly. He's the type of centre forward I love in the ilk of Tevez/Suarez from what I've seen. Though, if he does come here, and he produces the goods, the "shithead" part won't be too bad. Our luck with Argentinians has to end sometime! Surely...
I'd love a Suarez/Tevez like striker.I think that is what our team needs.
I don't remember, the Icardi one seemed to be confirmed by the player i think? Either way, it seemed credible and i think we were desperate for a striker at the time.
Not sure Icardi is that type?
I was saying that this is the type of striker we should go for.
And you know what, I'd do the same for Martial's GF too
I don't think that's legal but I'd love to keep Wanda as far as possible from United.
Which one?
Melanie Da Cruz that stupid b***
Oh god I completely forgot about that
His agent could be noshing off Guardiola for all I care, so long as the player himself was banging goals for fun.
It never works that way though. Off pitch and on pitch are intimately linked, even more so with this pampered multimillionaire generations.
These videos are extremely old though, she's literally just had a second or third child, going by her Instagram. I think her blowjob days are over.
In Argentina. Her sister was the one dating Forlán and causing all those problems with Atlético. You get the picture: professional media-hungry WAGs
Rashford is a long way off being ready to lead the line for a club with goals of winning the PL and competing in the CL, he'll only be 19 next season and someone will have to take over from Ibra then.
I disagree. Rashford couldn't have shown more ability if he even tried when playing at centre-forward. Unless you fundamentally believe that as a principle, 19/20 year-olds (no matter how good they are) should not be first-choice strikers for any club of our stature, then I don't know how you've made that judgment.
I personally don't see anything wrong with Martial. If we were to buy a striker, I'd like for the player to have be tall, strong and be able to hold up the play, which is where we were lacking before Zlatan came along.
It's a well known fact that young players run hot and cold, that's why you don't see PL winning sides with teenage strikers or CB's, you need consistency in those key positions to mount a challenge, it's why most young strikers are used as impact subs or out wide while they mature. I also don't think Rashford's game is rounded enough yet to be the main man, he's got an eye for goal but there's a lot more to it than that, and for the next 2 or 3 seasons I think we should be nuturing his talent, not expecting him to lead the line for a team expecting to compete. I think the fact he's local is leading to a lot of overhyping and putting the cart before the horse, I'd rather play the long game and he wont be ready to start as the main #9 next season, he's not good enough yet.
We look to be moving towards a 4-3-3, in that sytem you need wide players that can get you 15-20 goals, we have one in Martial and if he's moved to #9 we'd have to buy another, which is self defeating IMO as there's even less options than there are striker options. Jose has always liked #9's with strong hold up play so I think you'd get your wish whoever he opted for.
I truly believe he's an exceptional talent regardless of whether he's local or not. I don't disagree with the fact that young players are usually inconsistent but we haven't seen inconsistency yet from Rashford in the striker position. I don't want to apply generalizations in football to someone who hasn't yet shown that problem. He might be good enough to do it, but even if we were to go ahead with your point, the problem is you need a 30 year-old striker at least for that kind of arrangement to work and still give Rashford the chance to make the position his own. Where's the sense in splashing money on a 23 year-old Icardi? I would much rather someone who would only be here for a handful of years and do a great job, someone like Ibrahimovic and van Persie.
I rate Rashford but I think he's impressed you to a degree that he hasn't with me yet, so we are coming at that from a different viewpoint which trickles down into the rest of the discussion. I haven't seen anything to suggest he'd break the mold regarding the history of teams that have won leagues having older, more proven players up top and in defense. I also believe that if someone is good enough they find their way through, going into next season with Rashford as the #9 and not buying anyone would be suicidal IMO, maybe not Icardi but there are very few options out there, I don't think we should write off a couple of seasons just to accomodate Rashford.
Are we? From watching United games for the last 2 seasons, I've seen managers adamantly sticking to 4231, even when most agree that we would do better in a 433. But I agree with your point. Mkhitaryan hopefully can score 10+ and assist the same if we was given a chance on the right. And between Rashford and Martial, who can both play as LW and striker, we'll have other players who can score 10-15 a season. But we would be lacking quality up front or on the wings, depending on where Martial plays.
Sure is hotter and definitely more of a girl next door type.
I haven't seen much of him so I may be wrong, but I got the impression he was a very hard working centre forward who'd harass the opposition to death who also had very good technical ability, too.
I have Costa in the same category as Suarez/Tevez. Hard working centre forwards with good technique. I think if we did sign Icardi, he'd excel here.
First he is a better version of Inzaghi, now he's Drogba
Oh ok, thats not the impression i got but ive only seen highlights.
Didn't Inter reject a £50m bid for him from Napoli in the summer though?
It was 52m Euros.
Hmm I remember the newspaper Gazetto saying something something a lot higher, but maybe they're not accurate. Either way, regardless of what's happening with Icardi and fans, there's no way anyone will sell to English clubs, especially United, at any reasonable price. He'll cost £40m at the minimum imo.
I think he will go for 30-40m.
