We need a super striker

This kind of high effort response is what he lives for

I'm bored, playing with the clown passes a few minutes that's all.

They'll all be loans until the end of the season - just like Hogan and Madine were. We won't be able to afford any if we don't go up and probably won't want any if we do

Exactly. Purchase option only if we go up.

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

I've just seen this, absolutely agree we need another striker if Mcb is struggling... And yes I'd love to see Ross Stewart as he is excellent, but how much do you think we would have to pay for him... I'd guess Sunderland who are aiming for the playoffs wudnt sell him whatever the offer.. Imo we won't be buying any striker in Jan unless the new buyer is in place and really decides to go for it... UTB..

I think Stewart is out of contract either this year or the year after I’d say 4/5 mill is a snip for him

Stewart/Gyorkes/Piroe/Brereton Diaz are all strikers we should be after if we are in the promised land come may

The point of discussion is about the need for a short term loan to get us there given our injury crisis up top. Not what we do if we do go up.

We will need at least one striker whatever league we are in

If We signed a top class striker this January we are almost guaranteed top 2

Yes I know but back in the real world we won't be spending north of 1.2 m if that let alone 12 million to buy a player that quite rightly we would jump on if we actually go up.
A loan is all that is needed until then and more importantly all that we can hope for.

That young Brewster at Liverpool could we worth a punt, maybe too expensive?

In doing so, you are creating more of what you dislike

Okay big boy. You pay the transfer fee and wages if you think 4/5m is ‘a snip’.

The prince is having to sell because we’re cash strapped & he’s bought the club on a mortgage. Yet he has one last hoorah and buys a player for £5m because it’s ‘a snip’ for the sake of it

I think the Prince is obliged to sell the club due to Saudi investment in Newcastle. As an astute businessman, he will want a decent price for a decent club.

My main point is that no one needs loading with unpredictable debt, by purchasing someone who might not fit the club when we have no money or reason for such a gamble. That’s why i suggested that Fallowfield should put his money where his big dumb mouth is, and pay the fee and wages himself.

Aren't you forgetting something, oh king of contradiction, how can we be guaranteed anything when, according to you , our manager is not up to the job?

 

[wizadry]

Realistically Utd should be looking at strikers that aren't getting games at Prem clubs - ones. like Surridge, Dembele, Lowe or Archer.

Archer would be a great option but if our strikers are fit he probably won’t get a start. They’d be loaning him out on the promise of starts too as he’s on the bench at Villa and getting the odd cameo.

If you read the recent articles in the Athletic & The Star is suggests we’re struggling financially as we held on to pretty much all of our squad following relegation.

The prince also opened up to the need for investment recently. He’s not a mega rich guy in comparison to premier league football owners, but he’s been shrewd with how he’s ran United and from reading Keiran Maguire’s interviews he’s made us an attractive club for potential new owners

Youssoufa Moukoko!

Do you think he’s related to Tonton?

Had this player as a possible addition,now gone to Chelsea but maybe a loan.

It’s quite simple as I have said multiple times

Our squad is the best we have ever had I’d say it’s miles better than the prem one bar a top top striker staying fit


The manager on the other hand is average at best and is very fortunate to have a squad head and shoulders above the rest in the league that carries his managerial abilities

Hopefully I am proved wrong if and when we go up

 

[Charlieblade]

The squad has already undergone one cull from PH. It is strong for two main reasons. PH asked for, and mostly got, two players for each position. He removed players who were going nowhere.

The dressing room has additional strength encouraged and improved by PH, Billy and other senior players.
Recent comments from Doyle, McAtee and Ahmedhodzic demonstrate this FACT.

 

[Nightsweats]

There's just under half the season left and games will continue to come thick and fast. Hopefully, and I mean this in the best interests of our ONLY objective ie promotion, we don't field anyone against Millwall that would be chosen to start in the games against QPR and Stoke thus protecting them and our interests. Noone wants their team to lose a game but I would take a defeat in the cup having fielded a scratch team over a win or defeat at the cost of a few players going missing for 2 to 3 weeks. It will be a physical game and the cost benefit analysis comes down 100% in favour of subs and kids.

Re the striker situation it dosen't look likely funds will be available in Jan but if we could manage a loan it would be a huge uplift.
With Billy less and less effective, Ollie struggling with knock after knock, Jebbo not at the level we need right now and Brewster as likely to not play as play this season we are ridiculously dependant on Skilliman, a couple of (talented) loanees and a Sander who may or may not be fit/tired/ in typical Scandi noir mode.
Bloody hell. I'd take Didzy back till the end of the season. Anyone we could loan who might be reasonably expected to grab half a dozen and a few assists would be a huge bonus and give us the bit extra to get us over the line top 2.

 

[Charlieblade]

I agree in principle with selection for FA cup games, but I would add (again) we continually prove capable of scoring goal fro many other positions. Ndiaye and McBurnie have scored 18 between them! Where have all the rest come from …. I’ll wait.

 

[Harry's Game]

I would go for Ross Stewart at Sunlan or Ched Evans @ PNE

FACTS

why not and we have a ready made song for him..

Ooo ahh Cheddy, Cheddy dum Cheddy do
Gets a five year sentence serving one or two
Looks good, looks fine and he likes a 69
ive got Cheddy on my mind

I suspect a typing error here. Shouldnt the 'It's' be 'I'm' ?

Oh and you still havent told us which top Amatuer Team you coached with your A class coaching badge. Or maybe it was even as a member of the coaching staff at the professional level.
How did you get on with being accountable to the club’s management: president, technical director, club board, etc?
Id love to know.

 

[ancientblade]

hecky has a big decision to make regarding khadra do we persevere with him or use his salary for a loan striker and send him back to brighton personally if weve no cash he has to go back for me we really need an out and out striker to come in next month

It’s a fair point

If it’s khadra or someone like Sam Surridge it’s a no brainer

I know we all laughed at Florist having to buy in a whole new team and then try to bed them in whilst facing the glare of the Premier league. But I’m worried we’ll have to do very much the same thing to try and survive in the top flight. We simply can’t expect the likes of Billy, George, Egan, Bash, Fleck, Enda, Wes and even Norwood to step up to the Prem again. It would be nice if we could extend the loans of the two Man City lads into next season…But we can’t rely on that happening either.

im not so sure about doyle and macatee pep may well let us keep them on loan if we go up he wouldnt let them play against city but if they help us take points off citys other rivals its a win win for both clubs
