Didn’t we just finish 3rd, win a trophy and were one game away from a cup double without a CF…?
Stats and numbers are being used way too much. ETH is surely looking at ability and potential, and I will put faith in that.
Agreed. Tap in merchants are under-rated. I’ve said it before, if someone looks at Haaland’s goals this season, it feels like 70-75% of them are just being right place, right time and tapping it in. Not downplaying the clever runs he makes - but it’s great how he knows where to be. Same with Hojlund.
Ye or it could go the other way and he shines. We’ve not had a proper ST for years and when we do have it someone in the 30s. Getting Hojlund will mean we have a different type of player who gives us a different option. It doesn’t mean he starts every game. He can rotate with rashford/martial up top Depending on opponents. City won leagues without a proper ST? What’s your point. And then they signed one and still won everything.
Well we had Wout (and Ronaldo as useless as he was) and although he wasn't banging in goals, he gave us shape and improved pressing from the front but lets be serious, the wheels were well and truly coming off at the end of the season and if the season went on for another few games we likely would have fallen out of top four. Liverpool with their rejuvenated midfield won't give us such a headstart next season and Chelsea under Poch will be improved regardless of how disconnected their transfer policy has appeared.
Because he's trying his best to keep his price low for us. United through and through.
Because he is not worth more than 40m (including bonuses). Its absurd. Players that barely scores now being quoted for 60m. They have gone mad.
when was this?Maybe Arnautovic is still an option?
What’s this…?
Apparently Atalanta won 10-0 in a pre-season friendly yesterday, and Højlund didn't score.
fecking hellAll good options who fit the criteria. Do not rule out Weggy.
He's obviously a gamble, we're going to overpay if we end up signing him, and I will prefer that we sign a senior striker along with him.

Feck me the service is woeful. As a dane I really hope he finds a new club.
Service?
The team scored 10 goalsI would get Felix on loan, I know he isn't a striker but he's more of a false 9 than Sancho. He's a bit selfish in the final third but I'm sure that can be coached out of him. I think he would be good for 10-12 goals in the league and will offer far more on the ball than any other striker we could get.
They’ve had like 2 pre season friendlies before this where he’s scored and assisted in the same match so like… lets not overreact like
I Love ETH, but it does concern me that the guy who brought in Wout and played him so much wants to spunk silly money on this complete gamble.
I’d give him another year to prove it personally and bring in a cheaper, more experienced option, or go all out for Kane.
This doesn't make any sense. What has the score got to do with anything? Would you feel better about him if they won 2-0 and he didn't score?
My overall point isn’t based on one preseason game.
Look at the clip. He is constantly in the right position but the crosses are woeful.Service?
OMG. He is the fecking striker, was he sleeping during the 10 goals?This doesn't make any sense. What has the score got to do with anything? Would you feel better about him if they won 2-0 and he didn't score?
As if it's some kind of mistake from him not scoring a goal in a match they won 10-0
What difference does that make? Other players can't score goals because he's the striker? That logic is actually hilarious.OMG. He is the fecking striker, was he sleeping during the 10 goals?

No, it is alarming. We are literally looking for a goalscorer. If his team scores 31 goals in the last 3 games and he only manage two as a number 9, it is alarming.
He also missed a couple of decent chances, including one right in front of goal (at 6:35)
They scored 10 ffs
100% they create absolutely feck all! its one of the biggest flaws in the current side...generally all the forwards at United get in the final third and have one thought in their minds...and it ain't to pass or create.
