Maddison, Johnson, Son, Kuzeleski, Solanke and Riccarlson. 

Not bad options up front 

 

Madison and Kulu play in midfield for them. Solanke plays centre forward. Their wide options are Johnson, who is rubbish, Son, who is not the player he was, and Werner who is worse than rubbish.

It’s amazing how many flops there have been in that £70m-£90m price bracket in the last 2 or 3 years.

And yet you still have fans criticising our transfer policy and targets under the new owners…

The £30-40 million bracket on proven players but still on the up has been the sweet spot for a while. That's where Liverpool have generally found their consistent value, and generally so have we. If they don't live up to expectations you don't lose out hugely in re-selling and there's still room for increase value if they're a hit.

 

The lower end of the cost spectrum it's harder to get first team CL quality and tends to be more high quantity speculation (suits a club like Brighton) while higher than that it's much more likely that you get flops which lose money.

 

The way the liquidity is being pulled from the market through PSR I think that value sweet spot might actually fall in coming years unless something changes because transfers fees are going to deflate. In this sense I would understand a policy pivot under Mitchell to more value signings as we build the squad.

I have a sinking feeling that despite all the constant Arsenal talk, I think quietly it will be Liverpool that eventually come calling for Isak. They have the funds available to do so aswell.

They have 150m spare?

This needs scrutiny. No way worth £30m!

 

 

 

He's such a funny one. To hold a first team spot at Real Madrid through that particular decade is absolutely unreal, but feels like he was never appreciated at all in the wider footballing world, and no-one here knew much about him despite our obsession with Barcelona and Real Madrid.

 

Now he's just seen as a bit of a joke. I wonder what history will say about him down the line.

His first season in the PL was good though. Then he just seemed to fall off a cliff into his second season.

He was absolutely class and exactly the signing Man Utd needed at the time he came. Just had to pay him astronomical money and the wrong point of his career.

Saudi dealmakers needs to get their head out of the sand if they believe he might possibly be available for a price nobody else in the world would pay for a soon to be 33 year old footballer. :lol:

Maybe they'll let us buy Kulu if they get Muani.


Nah. Spurs fans I know say he’s their best player and has been much more effective centrally in a midfield 3. 
 

They’d want us much as we would for Bruno. Not a chance.

He’s just ageing in a shit team.  Toni Kroos would’ve looked awful at Man U these last few seasons.
