What Striker do you have already? And don't say Havertz or Merino. Gabby Jesus? Even when he plays he's no striker, more a liability.Why? He's no better than what we have already.
If he takes wages which reflect his appearances he'd get a contract maybeCalvert-Lewin to leave Everton as a free agent, Arsenal should take a punt on him.
Money savedI'm pleased he's gone there tbh.
I heard that Pedro is off to Chelsea... this has not helped my feeling on this transfer window!I hate transfer windows. Remember when you could just sign anyone whenever you wanted? Was much less stressful.
What made you think this summer was going to be easy?Another typical off season for United...
Everyone else (Liverpool / Chelsea etc) getting deals done - signings made.
United dragging their heels again - Will probably end up paying a ridiculous £70/75 million for Mbeumo and still struggle to find some defenders etc.
Just seem totally inept once again.
Can't sell players either - Rashford / Sancho / Garnacho etc...
What made you think this summer was going to be easy?
It was always going to be the worst of recent years
- small budget due to no European football
- PSR limitations
- a squad of highly paid reject mercenary footballers to clear out
At least there seem to be a few decent(ish) player who actually want to come to the club.
It's no different from Liverpool taking 3 weeks to get Wirz done for a transfer record fee or the to and fro they will now have over Guehi.It was never going to be "easy" - but just seems very static at the moment.
The whole Mbeumo deal just sounds like every other signing in the last 10 years - United chase and chase and chase, then end up paying £20-£30 million over everyone elses valuation on the player....
