It might be best to restart. Haven't we got a saved game from 2011?
Personally I don’t like him. He’s all flash and no substance. But like I said he’s better than nobody / the glass man. Having said that, I have to clarify that I didn’t actually mean Felix but rather a deal like that of his but obviously cheaper.I actually like the player and wouldn't mind him either and he could be one of those players where everything might just click oneday because talent is definitely there but his huge loan fee is an issue .
It seems likely at the moment , but I don't believe we could get any body decent on loan any way unless it comes with obligation to buy I wouldn't be against it if we can find the funds and outside of CM it should be priority now .Personally I don’t like him.

I suppose we won’t add anyone till Martial leaves.
Last season I heard it was around 10 m and Atletico might demand something similar and factor in his wages it becomes prohibitive for most Clubs .How much is the loan fee
Think he's waiting for BarcaLast season I heard it was around 10 m and Atletico might demand something similar and factor in his wages it becomes prohibitive for most Clubs .
We aren’t singing anyone to replace Greenwood, as Hojlund was already his replacement.We needed another striker before releasing Greenwood. Now it's a non-negotiable.
And what about Ronaldo (and his cough... understudy... Weghorst) and Cavani.We aren’t singing anyone to replace Greenwood, as Hojlund was already his replacement.
Yea for me this and CM are the two positions we need players before the window closes.Do we all agree if we don't sign a striker/goalscorer then we are kind of fecked?
Like clearly we are short and ETH by all reports was planning on having MG to call on
Add to that Martial is insanely injury prone and Hojlund is an unknown who reportedly will only be able to play one game a week for the foreseeable future.
If we don't sign another striker we could very likely end up playing around 50% of the season with no striker whatsoever.
And Rashford is not capable of doing a job at striker despite some claiming that he can
Whoa now jumping ahead, we haven’t even replaced LukakuAnd what about Ronaldo (and his cough... understudy... Weghorst) and Cavani.
We need someone who can actually finishWhat abt Watkins from Villa, no-one rates him?
I know it's a little bit controversial but Wout maybe did help just being the right shape and a specialist.We need someone who can actually finish
Would cost way too much.What abt Watkins from Villa, no-one rates him?
I agree, he brought one aspect to the forward line we needed - he just lacked the most important part, the goals.I know it's a little bit controversial but Wout maybe did help just being the right shape and a specialist.
Now of course if we could get a big boy that can score a couple that'd be royal.
Fantastic shout.Depending what sort of £ it’d cost, Kyogo from Celtic would be a good option to have alongside Hojlund imo.

It's not January yet.Ivan Toney.
Don't care. Get it done.It's not January yet.
That's not true at all. The manager had obviously been told at the beginning of the summer that they were going to bring Greenwood back, so he'd be available to play at some point this season.We aren’t singing anyone to replace Greenwood, as Hojlund was already his replacement.
It won't make a fecking difference now though will it?! He can't play for another 5 months! It would make absolutely no sense at all, other than to appease you, apparently.Don't care. Get it done.
The benefit is that it prevents him being nabbed by another team. Considering there are lots of misfiring teams in the league/teams without dedicated strikers, I would imagine some will be looking at him anyway.It won't make a fecking difference now though will it?!

What do we do with Hojlund then?If we don't sign a striker, then Sesko needs to be the big transfer next season. He is already shpwing great performances for Leipzig and imo he has a much higher ceiling than Hojlund.
All top teams have competition for places. At the moment our striker situation is:What do we do with Hojlund then?
What about Toney as proven goalscorer in this league which takes pressure off RasmusIf we don't sign a striker, then Sesko needs to be the big transfer next season. He is already shpwing great performances for Leipzig and imo he has a much higher ceiling than Hojlund.
Jeez that is some grim reading but the brutal reality of our striker situation right nowAll top teams have competition for places. At the moment our striker situation is:
Hojlund - injured
Martial - permanently injured
Greenwood - looking for a new club
Rashford - rubbish as a number 9
Hugill - 0 first team goals
Mcneill - 0 first team goals
Maguire - knows where the goal is, just the wrong one

Big big mistake if so.If latest reports are to be believed, club is prioritizing GK and midfield.
Kind of have to if we're selling Henderson and DVB. They're where the squad gaps are.Big big mistake if so.
