    We wanted a proven goal getter last time around too, Ten Hag has said Kane was our top target. It's easier said than done given our position and the market.

    I expect Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea will all be signing a striker this summer. And beyond, PSG could probably use one and who knows how long Lewandowski keeps it up at Barca.

    I do not see us managing to get Gyokores or Osimhen ahead of any of these clubs. After those two, who is there that is available and 'proven'. I'm struggling to think of anyone.

    Yeah, it's going to be really tough - and this is where I think we are in real danger of the gap widening even further

    My hope is that Newcastle need to shift Isak and that satisfies at least one club, but that's just wishful thinking - even then there are still multiple clubs like you said that needed a striker

    Choosing Hojlund over Kane was so damaging for so many reasons

    I can't get excited for this:

    Jonathan David
    Mateta
    Schick

    Retegui is gonna be another Atalanta Ponzi scheme

    I’d take Mateta over Delap tbh

    Jonathan David is a fantastic shout imo - I'm sure he'd be free as well, I can't see why we wouldn't do that

    Been saying they should get David on a free for months, but I don’t think there’s been even a whisper of interest from us, which is typical.

    I think people expect it to be a starting 11 signing

    We're the only club that isn't allowed proper depth it feels like

    Seeing fans say if Cunha comes we must sell Garnacho

    How about we can finally use the 20 year olds like they're supposed to be used and not grinded into dust like they currently are

    I don't care if they are young, cheap, english, resell, knows Batman himself

    I want (and the club is dying for) a proven goal getter

    I'd be stunned if the 22 year old who's only just got 12 goals can come to United next season, where the pressure will be unbelievably high (even moreso than normal) and succeed.

    Its a gigantic gamble and the days of gambling on players are done - we blew 600+ on a dutch gamble that leaves us needing to buy proven or slip even further

    I agree with you in terms of what we should do, i'm just saying why I think he is (unfortunately) the #1 target for now

    Gimme sesko. A striker I’ve never seen a single minute of but his name has been around for a few seasons now. Seems like a huge miss to choose Hojlund for a gazilion pounds over Sesko.

    Yes

    I thought we opted for the young striker as a longevity signing. That’s a bit of hope at least they did try and get the one we should’ve got

    Some of the goals he has scored are ridiculous. Actually quite good in the air too

    But at the same time he’s another risky 21 year old with only 12 league goals this season…

  • Apr 24, 2025

    I think it will be Delap though — @Moon’s comments are basically correct and what the club will definitely be thinking

    Anytime amad has been available he’s not played him RWB other than the first game. And I think Ruben likes Bruno in CM more than AM.
