I remember this chap well from his Watford days, he was a handful then.Be a handy acquisition for a loan.
 
I remember him being a United Fan too. Think it came out when he was linked with us when he was at Watford.
 
Why are people so quick to dismiss him, his record in a terrible Watford team was actually quite impressive.

He Scored 35 goals in 58 apps, Not bad at all. He wouldn’t be my first choice but I wouldn’t be against a short loan.

It's an emergency loan to cover for Rashford. Chill out for a change.

Why are we after a striker to cover a left winger? Or are we moving Martial to LW again? Or will be commit to play 4-3-1-2 or 3-4-1-2?

We need cover/options for both.

It's crazy. Rashford didn't get injured last week. Why had we not already identified targets up front ready to push the button? Its stuff like this that makes fans angry about the way United is run.

I’d imagine martial would switch to LW If we got another striker in, although if we stick with the formation we’ve been using then it could be 2 up top.

Would really rather give Greenwood a go. This season is a write off anyway and at least we could develop our own player.

Season is no way a right off. Let’s get back in the CL if possible. Easier with an extra striker. Greenwood will still get the right amount of minutes for his development.
 
King, Ighalo, Rondon....why didn't we bought Piatek for 22 mil? Rotation option in United or first striker in Hertha? Hm..i think that he would pick us. And he is 24. So we can always get most of our money back.

No-one buys our duds because of our wages. Darmian was in the reserves for 2 seasons and sold for almost nothing, we can't get rid of Rojo permanently after giving him a long term contract during a bad injury

No I don’t think he would get in our squad. Selling him would not be easy after he gets accused of being turned to shite by United and our “poor coaching” and that’s just our own fans.

Dad state of affairs. Poorly run club at the moment
 
I have already begun to write an Ighalo script. Signs on loan, averages a goal every game, scores the winner in the Europa League final etc. It is inevitable.
 
Of all the strikers we've been linked with this week, Ighalo is the one I'd prefer
 
It's like we're using the target list of an everton or west ham or something.
 
Some people are tedious. We need a body to cover Martial until Rashford returns. The club wouldn’t be targeting the likes of Ighalo and King if it thought they were any sort of long term answer. Maguire and Bruno are what the club considers to be long term answers, hence the fees. We’re after a half decent goalscorer that could provide an option until Rashford comes back.

At worst, he’s a bit shit and doesn’t score many. At best, he’s a useful player that might actually be worth hanging on to in a squad capacity.
 
I really hope we end up with no one, and then the people involved in our transfer dealings get the boot.

We are embarrassing ourselves.
 
Talk about a panic move. This guy has no technique and dont fit how we play. Basically a b tech Lukaku.

It doesn't make it any less desperate. If one injury is enough to leave us in this kind of crisis that doesn't look good on the decision makers at the club.
