sempuki Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Would try and get two forwards if possible with one of them Remy if he'd come. I have no faith they'll do the right thing. Bare minimum c***s. Me too. Penny wise, pound foolish as they say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AY Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 dunno why people still talk about Austin like a missed opportunity. Last summer yea, but he wasnt going to move to team in a relegation battle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We fail to score again, have a CF who doesn't look like he's a finisher and Charlie Austin scores the winner at Old Trafford minutes after coming on. You'd hope Mike would get the message. We need a goal scorer and especially in away games where you don't expect to dominate chances need to be buried by your CF. There's a reason why Gini hasn't scored away from home and there's a reason why we've only scored 5 (is that right) away all season. We don't have a goal scorer. Nar, we've scored 6 away from home now. Get in! Nee need for a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 He shouldn't be saying that, like, even if he's not wrong. It's at least the second team he's said it about after a defeat.

TRon Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 He shouldn't be saying that, like, even if he's not wrong. He's right but he's made a rod for his own back by dropping the striker who actually scored last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Afobe £10m and Austin £4m, we're clearly needing a finisher and didn't go for either. Usually we say English are too expensive. we're idiotic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Shame Austin reportedly never really wanted to move North or else you'd have a bit more of a point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Nobody is saying Austin would have come, we are saying that even a fucking real bid for a proven striker would have shown their acknowledgment of the serious issue we have of lack of goals.

Ganninup Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 How do you know what austin wanted? I do know we didnt bid for him in the summer or this window. Perhaps because hes not represented by mondial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 If we had paid the asking price, offered him decent wages and the number 9 I'm pretty sure we could've signed Austin in the summer. That 15 million will look like peanuts if we go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Shame Austin reportedly never really wanted to move North or else you'd have a bit more of a point. It's more the fact we didn't even try for two goalscorers who are English, obviously Afobe would have been more of a risk than Austin but would he have been anymore of a risk than Mitrovic ?

Yeah it's a good shout. Just think this transfer policy by commitee will always have us on the back foot. Just feel like we make good players look average and average players look crap at the moment.

Yep spot on, well employ managers who are sacked from Championship and League One clubs, and chuck in a cack handed transfer policy we end up where we are. We can all see it, the board/commitee can't, hence 18th place and a look of relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 If there was ever a good time to lose while fighting relegation it was today. We have a little over a week to bring in players that could help guarantee our safety. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem being good players are less likely to want to play for a club deep in relegation trouble while selling clubs know they have us by the balls.
