What do you guys think will happen to the strikers we’ve linked with so far. Personally:
Ekitike - Stays at Frankfurt
Gyokeres - Liverpool
Sesko - Arsenal
Mateta - Stays at Palace
Osimhen - Juventus

I don't think Mateta is nearly as bad as you make out but rather than paying astronomical amounts on Gyok, Ekitike, Sesko, neither of whom are even dead certs for 10 goals in the league for Utd, I think it would make more sense this summer to target an A-rated midfielder while there is some (like Baleba/Wharton) still playing at mid-table clubs and then seek an affordable/free striker option until a real superstar comes on the market/ or some of the stars of tomorrow age into suitability.If we get down our list as far as Mateta then it really is a barren market.
If it comes to that then rather than scraping the barrel we ought to look to see if we can bring in someone on loan.
It would be madness to make Mateta an important player for us for the next 5 years.
It'll be funny if Arsenal snub Arsenal loving Gyokeres & he ends staying at Sporting & next season he has a crap season & next summer fast approaching 30yo his market value plummets.
My choice is Hubert Blaine Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff Sr.
He's the highest paid player in Italy with 1 year left on his contract and he has been a disappointment, €30M seems overpriced. I'm sure Juve would be very happy to get rid of his salary that breaks their wage structure. Milan has also been in rumours but I doubt they can afford to pay him, even if he accepts a 50% cut.Stories coming out of Italy that Wilcox has spoken with Juve about Vlahovic. Just keeping tabs it seems but the asking price might be as low as €30M although the salary would be prohibitive. Not good sources but it seems like something that could gain steam late in the window if our preferred options don’t materialize.

He's very poor. I'd rather have Højlund than him.Stories coming out of Italy that Wilcox has spoken with Juve about Vlahovic.

Yeah he's never fulfilled his promise. Which is a shame as he seemed like such an exciting prospect at Fiorentina, a real classic striker.He's the highest paid player in Italy with 1 year left on his contract and he has been a disappointment, €30M seems overpriced.

I don't think it's a good idea to buy Juve bench warmers as our main striker. He was good at Fiorentina a couple of years ago and that's a key word. Not only is he struggling in Juve, but he's also getting outscored by fat and out of shape Mitrovic (currently playing in Saudi Arabia) in Serbian national team.Yeah he's never fulfilled his promise.

That said, Juve have been a incredibly dour team for years. They haven't managed 60 goals in a season since Ronaldo left, and that's not just down to Vlahovic. I dont fancy him at United, but still, he might show his quality in a more attacking team.
How much would he cost though?Ollie Watkins may be a decent option for a couple of years.
Agreed, I said in my post that I don't fancy him at United.I don't think it's a good idea to buy Juve bench warmers as our main striker.

No one also rates him that much in Serbia. I am Serbian and we are frustrated with his performances in our national team.
He's still young and has plenty of time to turn it around, it's up to him and his willingness to forego a large part of his wages to get playing time at a club that suits him best. But he is also probably aware that he'll never get another contract like this again and might want to cash in on his last year no matter what.Agreed, I said in my post that I don't fancy him at United.
Its more just a feeling that he might still come out of his career lull at somewhere other than Juve. I think he could thrive at one of the more upwardly mobile Premier League teams like Fulham.
Could have gotten him for 15m but signed Zirkzee instead. SighIf we activated the 60mil release clause and got 4 good years out of Guirassy would anyone complain ? A Striker who doesn't rely on pace, just intelligent box work for the most part.
Don’t really understand the Zirkzee hate. He has the potential to be a top player, his close control and dribbling is a rare traitCould have gotten him for 15m but signed Zirkzee instead. Sigh

You’re right but he started off atrociously, then hit a bit of form and got injured. Hojlund was favoured over him all season for whatever reason.The fact (and correct me if I am wrong) he managed to score in just 2 EPL games is awful with a capital A.
The bolded is actually a myth, at the point that he hurt his hamstring both had played almost an identical number of minutes, roughly 2100 each, and had almost identical stats. Ruben quite notably alternated them in the starting role almost every game during his first few months, so much so that it was a big part of the discussion that whoever started always looked terrible and whoever came on as a sub looked good. Hojlund ended up with more playing time mostly as a function of being the only fit striker for the last couple of months of the season when we were playing two games a week.You’re right but he started off atrociously, then hit a bit of form and got injured. Hojlund was favoured over him all season for whatever reason.
I wouldn’t want him as our main man, but we can certainly get a lot more from him, and he brings a hell of a lot more than just goals.
For me, it’s big shiny ready made striker, or spend on goalscoring wide player (Mbeumo) and great centre mid.
To confirm, would love us to buy this lad, but we’re not flush and should have prirorities
Pretty poor list if he made his way onto it.Poll need to be reset. Osimhen to be added, he is as likely as all options on the list. Piatek needs to be removed as he has already signed with another club.
Ageee with you. My view is that we either sign Osimhen or we sign no other striker and find other ways to increase the amount of goalsPretty poor list if he made his way onto it.
Studs up into every challenge should do it.S

Yeah please keep him off the list completelyI don't think it's a good idea to buy Juve bench warmers as our main striker. He was good at Fiorentina a couple of years ago and that's a key word.
