STM Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I'm I the only one who doesn't want to touch players like Coutinho, Martial and Bale? I want players on their way up or with something to prove. Give me a Tarkowski or whatever any day, for now at least. I want the world's next best players not the previous ones.

I'm kind of with you there but some experience wouldn't be a bad thing but not players who seem to have lost their desire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Whoever the new manager wants, imo. Still would love Kamara, Max Aarons, another striker to compete with Wilson and another winger. Would be chuffed to bits with 2 of those 4 in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I think Martial has been wasted at Man Utd, played left and right, through the middle, often off the bench, so under the right coach/manager and tactics/setup he’s a top-class player potentially. I’d have him here in a heart beat! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I think you have to be very careful with signings because clubs will just rinse you if you go for established PL players. Particularly in January. But equally you don't want to gamble on random players that you haven't done due diligence on. I think players with expiring contracts and buy out clauses are a good option to get quality without having to deal with ridiculous negotiations.

Conjo Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I've never been a fan of "PL experience" which is roughly translated to 28+ years players who are on the decline looking for a final big pay day. It never served us well before Ashley, it will not serve us well now either (although it's a situation we may now be more likely to buy us out of instead of being stuck with an ageing, unmotivated squad). Never had an issue with MA's strategy in the sense that he wanted talents over experience, however under new ownership I hope the next part of the strategy where MA would normally cash in changes to a strategy where we get to keep the talents that have blossomed and add to them.

Superior Acuña Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Someone raised the point - why are we supposedly even targeting specific players before we've got a manager or Director of Football, scouting team etc? Got questions for this new administration like, doesn't sound good approach Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our situation could work out very well to buy quality experience to bridge the few years gap before we can buy the best players at their peak. Cavani has turned out pretty well for Man U, and they don't even need to follow that policy, they should be able to attract all the best current talent.

Guest HTT II Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 In our situation, I’d prefer some PL experience be it on players or in the dugout right now, not many foreign managers/players unless top-top-class come in straight away and just perform.

Don't think Cavani would work out for Man Utd if he was relied on as a regular starter. I don't want to buy players at their peak either. Much rather prefer talent that we grow as "our own" if that makes sense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are more like Man City and Chelsea after their takeovers than clubs who have lower expectations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
