I think we both know what each other mean

My point is very simple regarding United

A good player becomes available, we throw our hat into the mix, make all the right noises, then the player demands a certain salary, we pull out of the race, then we sign some donkey who is on 50% - 75% of what the player we wanted was on.

Player on 50% - 75% fits in with our wage structure but offers absolutely sweet FA on the pitch even if he actually gets a game.

If it was a cheap car, or sofa, or carpet, or table, or washing machine it would be seen as false and stupid economy

I’d agree in terms of our value signings have been largely poor since the second championship season only really cranie stands out as being a decent contributor who we picked up cheap. Before that obviously there’s a long list of players with didzy at the top.

I’m not sure the trap we fell into was necessarily cost related but rather we actively went out looking for backups believing our first team was good enough. Bogle long term development player/back up to baldock ditto for Brewster, Lowe, Osborn, Robinson even ampadu as a loan signing was a cover player. Some of those players weren’t cheap but they were all long term/backup options which didn’t make us better immediately.
 

I’ll be interested to see if Slav can get a tune out of Moose. He certainly won’t accept his off field behaviour, moose on ability could be the best striker in the championship. So could Brewster & McBurnie. Plus you’ve got the tried and tested in Sharp/ McGoldrick and to a lesser extent Burke.

If we can get them all fit and firing we have by far the best attacking lineup. It’s just IF.

We 100% don’t need to be spending £10m plus on strengthening this position.

The problem we have is to purchase players to create chances for our strike force

Agreed ..... the midfield has been less than ineffective for a year. Total rebuild needed in midfield and we have strikers who will score goals in the Championship

UTB & FTP
 

I genuinely don't think we need him. One of the constant complaints I'm hearing is whether our players could do it in the Prem if we get promoted. Well, Mitrovic has hardly set the world alight at that level.

Meanwhile, we have at least 4 strikers who we know can score at a similar rate already, with one other a very potent potential.

Fix what we need to first before we tinker with elsewhere.
 
Which one or possibly two of our strikers would we move on to provide funds for two decent midfield players?
All depends on valuations but moose and Burke would be my choice
 
mousset mcburnie and brewster have all had issues while theyve been at the club just wonder if slav might just be the strict type of manager to get the best out of em all 3 had too easy a ride under wilder but if they dont perform im certain slav will bomb them out of the door
 
It’s awkward buying forwards when you are a defensive minded team they can’t play to their full potential McBernie isn’t your typical target man

As does anyone who still has even a molecule of faith in Lys Mousset being an asset to this football club.

He actually looks pretty lean in that pic.

Joking aside - undoubtedly a talented lad. If he could and it’s a massive IF for me get himself fit and his head in the game he could bag 20+ in the championship without a doubt. In his purple patch for us he was one of the few that actually looked like they had genuinely got premier league quality. His goal against Man U, the first touch Cruyff turn control and finish against Wolves. The pace agaisnt Everton.
He needs to sort his diet out, get his head down and train hard and stop pricking about thinking he’s the real deal in his lambo and concentrate on his career.

I very much doubt he’ll ever reach his potential unfortunately. We should sell imo.

But it's not is it, we have consistently paid well over the odds the last few seasons and not sold a player we have bought at any sort profit for a long time....it might be the aim but we haven't achieved it.

We could achieve that with Coulibally and to a lesser extent Berge

I can't believe you have said all that & finished by saying we should get rid! We would be crazy to not try & get the best out of him, & Slav could be the man to do it. I accept he is running out of chances but a fit & firing Moose is one hell of a player.
