Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

A superb striker though, would think he'll improve them, even at his age.

Did they really need him? Got Martial, Rashford can play through middle although better cutting in from left and Greenwood has been described as generational talent and scored nearly 20 goals last season.

Cavani of course been excellent but feels a bit to me like when they signed Falcao.

Sums up the mood on the Man U forums, they're not happy.

There does seem to be an awful lot of clubs in the market for a left-back. Little wonder we can't get one.

I know Wesley coming back is a few of months away, but I don't see us landing a forward of any significant quality, who'd be happy to be third in line behind a 30 million pound and a 25 million pound striker, when he does come back. On the same vein, I don't see us in a position where we can buy someone and make Wes third in line either.

[mr underhill]

We really need another forward and there is no guarantee Wes will be coming back.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

There’s certainly no guarantee Wesley will ever be anything like the same player again.

Josh King makes sense however I can see this one dragging on a while longer as due to the extended domestic window we could do that deal (and also the required outgoings) up until 16th October.

[Mister E]

Cavani? - really?? Smacks of desperation.
By the same token, Chelsea apparently have turned down an offer from Bayern for H-O on loan with a view to making it permanent .... for £70m??!!!! according to the Grauniad.

The world's gone mad, I tells ye.

Certainly hope not, he needs to be a lot less rubbish than before. But yes it's a worry as players are usually worse coming back from injuries like this, and he wasn't good enough to begin with.

King would be ideal.

Good shout Marlon.  I guess it means we can take a bit more time getting some more out and/or paying off the likes of Kalinic and get others out on loan and then go for King or Benrahma really late in the domestic window.  Probably won't do anything tomorrow in that case then.

Tomorrow hopefully will focus on the exit door for the likes of Kalinic, Nyland. Lansbury will be a pay-off or a domestic offload.

A winger that can do what Saint-Maximan does for Newcastle would be nice.

[Big Ming]

Looks like Manure's Marketing Dept are about to spend a fortune on a player that's going over the hill in a position they do not need to re-inforce just to smooth over some disgruntled fans.

Good plan.

Over the hill but I think we'd accommodate Edison somehow given the chance.
I'd back him to beat Zlatan in a wresting match.

Cavani has the whiff more of the Falcaos than the Zlatans in my view, albeit without the obvious and crippling injuries. I think he's useful, but possibly less useful than letting Rashford, Greenwood and Martial develop an understanding in the manner of Liverpool's front three, but I guess without a Klopp (and with a Solskjaer) that's never going to happen anyway.

Agree, but having spent 55 million on two strikers, I feel it’ll be a case of waiting and seeing how Wes comes back, before we act, as opposed to spending preemptively.

A utility forward who adds depth to the wingers might be a good compromise.

What? like King, you mean?
