You sigh Gakpo, the best striker you'll be getting is Moussa Dembele.

Why?

patrickmuf:
I think people are saying we should prioritize a striker first...I don't think I have read anyone say they don't want Gakpo unless of course I missed it...

Is there some news about our transfer budget or how much the club is willing to spend in the next or 2 transfer windows?

Expert17:


Martinez, Casemiro and DeGea's form will cover for Maguire. We still have Lindelof and Varane.

Who is your backup RW?
Who is the backup LW? Trashlanga and Scamcho?

Trashlanga and scamcho because you've found a new shiny toy lmao.

Rashford/Sancho will score 800 in that league. The quality of that league in recent years is pure shit. I'd even accept foreign talents playing there just for a while.

Fact is Gakpo is not that player to throwaway every other plans for. LW was never our priority. We might throw everything away when we find the next Mbappe. Definitely not Gakpo.

Murtough -- "But it’s important to recognise that investment must always be sustainable, meaning that what we spend on players must be supported by revenues over the long-term. We ended the summer slightly ahead of where we expected to be in terms of the number of players brought in, so we don’t anticipate the same level of activity in future windows, although we will continue to strengthen.”

Expert17:


We have Lindelof, Martnez, and Maguire. Maguire will improve with the addition of Casemiro and the form of Shaw, Dalot, and DDG.

Any observant person will know that our weakest link this season is our CF and LW.

DDG has improved. our CB pairing is one of the best in the league and Martinez is the best CB in the world for me. Shaw and Dalot are on fire. Casemiro is the best DM in the world pairing with another excellent baller Eriksen and inform McTom. Antony can't stop scoring and Bruno always creates chances.

What can you say about our CF and LW positions?

I don't get u, you're hoping MAGUIRE!! Will improve but sancho can't, the only way we're going to get gakpo is if one of our LW leaves, actually 2 self and that would be elanga and sancho, if non leaves non will arrive, that's only argument you have but buying into an already choked position won't happen, we can only hope that if sancho doesn't improve the club cuts her loss on him

Too much competition isn’t competition.

We have 4 right footed wingers, whether he’s better than all of them, we cannot actually say. He’s good but you can’t sign every player there is . A move to United won’t favor all the parties.He can go to Arsenal who have only martineli in his position.

We need players in more pressing areas.

We need a carrier of the ball (CMF), we need a striker and a competition for Dalot. Those are the pressing areas.

ETH also asked for a RB during the summer (Dest I believe) but could not get him as a back up for Dalot even on loan because we have Wan Bísaka and also Brandon Williams dat could also play the position, our CB also includes both Tuanzebe and Jones on the payroll, Fact is we've all agreed these players are not our level but we can't get people into those positions unless the fringe players leaves, one of the things I'm hoping on from our future transfers is we should start clearing them(as early as January transfers window), won't mind wanbisaka and Tuanzebe leaving (Jones will only leave at the summer when his contract ends) we should start clamouring for the sale/release of those eating up space, u could get gakpo by loaning out elanga with a buy out option and so, the truth is with our recent games one thing has been missing even with the argument of our wingers doing less take ons and crosses, it's the fact that we're missing big chances (I wonder our we created them) half of which would have been scored by an out and out striker, so let's be logical with things

even with the fact that they are pressing positions, I doubt we would be able to get 2 or 1 self during the winter transfer unless we free our books

Simple tracking back to help Shaw/Malacia Scamcho can't. Shaw has provided 2 great crosses that provided goals, what has Left winger- Scamcho done this season?

Fortunately, ETH has already identified Gakpo as his preferred target, so this arguments/discussion won't change anything.

Sancho has been in poor form for a while. Rashford has been used up front because we basically don't have a fit, prime striker. Contexts is important in everything.

We're a Dalot injury away from disaster. Erikson got sick and we got so lucky that Fred decided to be useful that day. Apart from that, Erikson is already showing signs of exhaustion. Again, he's not the ball progressor we need. Then there's the CB issue. Then the biggest of all, the striker issue. All of these on a limited budget.

Gakpo is the last thing any reasonable team in our situation would be thinking of.

How does this even make sense to you?

Our last game that we had to play a low block is the template going into next season?

Let's play Maguire in a high line, so we'll watch our new shiny toy Gakpo contend with Rashford, Sancho and Gernacho on the LW next season.

Gakpo was an alternative to Antony. We signed Antony and only Southampton was left in the race.

even with the obvious priorities, we still won't get unless we free deadwoods, it is as simple as that

we can keep buying every and any player, some fans on twitter are even clamouring for J. Felix, like WTF!

I doubt this, Maggie is one of the players we should start planning on letting go and finding is replacement

like dude made it quite difficult for us to play from the back, yes! he made some vital blocks (which I was happy for) but we won't be able to play according to ETH style is our CBs can get their stuffs together, it's a recipe for disaster

and hoping for player to cover for him, nah! he gets paid every week and I doubt he shares his pay with them

That Maguire statement was powered by agenda. His presence was the reason we couldn’t win our last game convincingly.

No news for now however, knowing the Glazers and their penchant for holding back after a huge prior outlay in the transfer market, I perfectly understand the concerns of those who rather we sign a proper striker first...

ChristoBam:

How does this even make sense to you?

Read it again.

Having 5 Wan Bissaka's at RB is good enough for some.

I will wait for the day you will either slander Sancho/Rashford/Elanga or drag Glazers for not spending.

The way Antony scored 800 goals abi.

At least Gakpo shines in Europe and for Country can we say the same for Scamcho

I understand the Gakpo hate, your shiny toy - scamcho flopped.

You are the same person that supported Maguire and Sancho's signing. Made an unforgivable claim of preferring Martial to Haaland. lol

In a way, I am happy you don't like Gakpo. lol

Had it been Gakpo na English boy, Just maybe some pple for like am too

Ronaldo has to be replaced soon. Maybe by next summer. Martial can't stay fit. We're left with Antony, Sancho, Rashford, and whoever replaces Ronaldo. I think we're lean on that side of the field, because we need a minimum of 5 players for those 3 positions. I don't want to see Elanga on the field, or Bruno moved to the wings. Just look at our GF on the EPL table. We're not scoring enough. Our defense can't continue to bail us. Aside that CM is another important role. IMO, with a CM that can receive the ball on the turn and skip past players, with high successful pass rate, the next two positions we should be fixing are the striker and winger positions.

With a solid midfield and attack that know how to score goals, Maguire, Lindelof, Varane and Martinez will manage. If we must add another defender, lets sell one or two of these 4.

Omo! This place dey hot.

Well the Glazers should know that we have to build on what we achieve this season and aim for the next level. We can't afford to rest until we get to the top again. The Glazers have already shown they can cooperate if properly motivated. We brought in 6 players last summer, what's another 3-4 they cannot do? They should sell if necessary

ouzo1:

Nobody hate Gakpo here, we just want United to do priority signings first. If money remain, then the club can consider him...
