We still need a FDJ in the midfield. Someone that can carry the ball.

I can't even be excited until I see these guys in action for this team and after a couple of games. Their CV does not matter anymore to me once they join this club. The rot is that deep

Abeg tell them.. man utd and real madrid deals don't take time.
People just want to rope the board in so, nothing you say will make sense to them...

We were supposed to sign both Lisandro and Antony but Ajax reneged on the agreement after selling a couple of players and raised Antony's price that's why we didn't sign him since.

Gakpo deal is heavily dependent on PSV's UCL qualification even though it is reported that he wants to join United regardless so, it makes it easier assuming Ajax refuses to deal on Antony.

We all know the FDJ issue...

We were linked to Casemiro just a couple of days back and now, he is a Manchester United player. The Glazers have messed up in the past but definitely not this window...You can argue for or against that it's because we lost our first two games but it doesn't change the fact that we have gone about the business of supporting the manager well unless in odd cases where a club refuses to sell or the player doesn't want to join.

So deals can actually get done quickly in this club?

Casemiro’s should have taken at least two years based on how we do things. Why are they so fast all of a sudden?


What does the buying club gain when a deal that can be done in 2 weeks takes 6 -24 months @ the same price or even higher?

For the Casemiro deal, it was fast as Real Madrid already had a fixed price, a replacement and he was willing to join.

Cody should be the main target, it would be a case of killing 2 birds with 1 stone as he can function as a winger and striker.

Antony's stats aren't impressive, he should be having more goals and assists in Eredivisie.

The only thing that makes Antony desirable is his left foot but they should be guided. We should not go more than 50 million for him sef. The extra money is also needed to buy a partner for Casemiro.

I genuinely don't understand our interest in Gakpo. He is not a right winger or a striker. We already have two players more comfortable in the position he plays.

It's better for us to go for Anthony sha. As he's a specialist for the RW. Make Sancho go LW.
We can attack from both wings like that.

I took out time to watch Gakpo and he is way better than the current Rashford...Let us sign him and Anthony that way, we have Rashford and Sancho knowing their place 8s no longer guaranteed...Martial and Gakpo can be our CF options if Ronaldo leaves else it's Ronaldo and Martial for CF, Rashford and Gakpo for LWF, Antony and Sancho for RWF, Bruno and Eriksen for AMF, VDB/?/Fred for CM and Casemiro for DM...

Elanga should be sent out on loan alongside Hannibal. Chong should be included in the deal for Gakpo while Iqbal and Savage should stay for the group stage of the UEL...

For RB, I wouldn't mind Pavard for his experience. He'd do a job for a couple of seasons before Laird or any other RB is ready...

It's surprising how Sancho who we signed to secure our right wing suddenly prefer playing from the Left.

First choice target will be Antony, and Cody as a backup plan.

If the choice is Antony + Gakpo OR Antony + a CM which will you go for?

I think a CM to partner Casemiro is crucial.

They play different wings. Why is a left winger back up plan for a RW?

A CM every day...

If FDJ is not feasible, they should quickly try Neves as Wolves might want to recoup some of the money they paid for Nunes...Milinkovic Savic is another option...

What we have on our left wing is numbers/quantity, no single quality there.

If we can't get Antony, Sancho will play from the RW and Cody from the left.

Ok. That is an option but how good is this Gakpo? Steven Brgwijn has almost equalled his 2 season EPL output in 2 games back in that league. Sancho and Rashford will wreck that league so i hope you are not using clips from Ere division (Play division) to judge Gakpo.

I liked McKenna's team's style. Neil Wood's team also played good football but the guy used hamper them with his tactical tweaks thinking he was the next Pep.

Exactly. Unless there is more money to spend i would buy 1 forward and 1 CM. If Ronaldo is leaving then we need 2 forwards and 1 CM. In all permutations we still need a starting CM if not those forwards will just be stranded during games.

Good points. Every single point you made also applies to Antony. He is not even getting good numbers in play division and we are asked to pay close to 100M.

No. That 100m is very crazy of course. What i am saying is if we get both of them we could be swindled twice rather than once. A difference between both though is that we have seen Antony flourish in the Champions League.

Is there no other left footed right winger in Europe that can be a cheaper alternative to Antony?

In this era of football, don't sign any non-inverted winger especially those Under 23 years old.

Why?

I am seeing good finishing but a loose touch and not much dribbling technique just like Pepe's Ligue 1 highlights. He is doing mainly cut inside and shoot. From the highlights i am seeing he might struggle to create those chances when the marking is tighter than he is used to in the Dutch league.
