And Ighalo has hardly been used. As soon as Sevilla went 2-1 up why wasnt Ighalo on straight away? Why Mata and James before him? The ball to the back post that James didnt even go for, Ighalo would have been all over that as a proper striker.

We wonder why our full backs never cross a ball. Who exactly are they crossing to? Who is the striker in the box that can get a head on a ball or have that instinct? We have one plan. Fast counter attack. If that fails what then? Doesn't matter how many changes you make, if its like for like what exactly is going to happen?

Can hardly use City as an example. Look at their squad and bench. They dont have Mata, James, Lingard and Pereira sat there to come on and change a game. Even we aren't using them because they aren't good enough. City have Aguero and Jesus. They are strikers. Especially Aguero. They have used Sterling up top a few times but they still have, and use, what you would call a proper striker.

Our fullbacks never cross because they're shít at it lol. With Liverpool, you can't describe any of their front three as aerially dominant yet, both TAA and Robertson put in a fair amount of crosses.
 
David Brooks links the last hours are interesting. Would be a smart cheap move for a young very talented player. Who would straight away be an upgrade if Pereria or Lingard are sold.

It’s from Sancho to Brooks it’s actually as well as Sancho and would be a Grealish alternative as Villa have priced him out of a move.

Also on David Brooks. Not a Jadon Sancho alternative but an attainable target, who would be an upgrade on Lingard/Pereira as a bench option. #mufc

David Brooks would be every way Ferguson singing, maybe 1-2 years ago. The injury this year did not help him, but lad has talent in him. Would take him in a heart beat.

For the fee being touted around 20/30m he would be a great Grealish alternative and 1 half years younger. Can play anywhere behind the STR. Great technical and a pretty good dribbler. Also very good act triggering the press. If he was fit for Bournemouth all season they would of stayed up no doubt imo.

If we can get him in and get rid of one or both of Lingard/Periera that would be a big improvement in the depth for attacking positions with Sancho/or another RW coming in.

Great vid to show not just his talant. But more importantly his versatility. Get shades of Mahrez watching him play. Was better than Maddison or as good as season before last.
 
Squad players are meant to improve competition for places in the first team, sorry but it's ridiculous if we sign him. Another player who's British and apart from that, **** all to justify the United move. Our scouting is **** poor if that's the best we can come up with... but I'm not surprised which is the most depressing thing.

Just need Bale now to complete the Welsh fearsome trio.... right chaps? :D

Wouldn't be totally against it, only if Pereira and Lingard are 100% gone.

The only hope I cling onto is that it's probably just a bogus rumor lol.

It would be a massive upgrade on Periera, Lingard. Which would be good enough for me to start with. Plus the fact he’s actually a really good player. Nearly ended up at Spurs under Poch but the deal fell through due to a 10m in price difference.
 
Don’t know why the scouting is getting a bashing either. They will only provide reports on the player Ole and the staff will be the ones deciding who the targets are. And our scouting has been finding some of the best talents around Europe the last 3/4 yrs since the restructuring has happened.

Remember these these type of arrogant comments when Pool were linked with players like Gio, Robertson, Shaqiri, Divock etc early in there rebuild under Klopp from Utd fans.

Brooks would be a great addition to the squad. But obviously we need first 11 players also. But Brooks won’t stop us signing these players anyway.

This isn't news, though. BvB has always maintained that. They do not want performance led bonuses etc. I reckon they will be more amenable to staggered payments (despite Romano's statements) but yeah, we may not have the funds to meet that and get other players.

I don't mind, honestly, but we should just move on if talks aren't progressing.

This is it mate. They will except 80+20+20 just in instalments and not add ons. Like you said nothings changed.
 
Potential additional issue if Dean wont go to other team on loan. Your GK bench is stacked.

Terms all agreed for Aaron Ramsdale's move from #AFCB Bournemouth to Sheffield United #SUFC with the formality of a medical before £18.5m deal is completed

Think Romero wants to leave if reports are true. We released 2 u23 GKs. Joel and Kovar are both going out on loan.
