Fucking hell...

Actually, I'd argue he doesn't have the personell to do so consistently. Especially with Pulisic out.

Would certainly be ironic if United's new signing Fernandes and Ighalo fire them into the top 4 after our board have apparently decided that there's no value in making signings this month.

Wow. That's the kind of move I'd expect from our dumbass board. In his wildest fantasies he surely couldn't have imagined he'd be playing for Man United at his age and after being in China for years. Seems they're more desperate than anyone thought!

Well oiled machine we are!

We'll look back at this last couple of weeks come the end of the season when we finish 6th as the moment it all went wrong. I suppose it's progress from the club that they didn't panic buy anymore Drinkwater's or Djilobodji's but there was certainly a player or two out there that could e really helped us secure CL football. To fight like hell to overturn the transfer ban, have our manager repeatedly suggest we need reinforcements, and then not sign a single player is ridiculous. I feel for Frank.

Every link thus far has been a smokescreen. Later today we'll sign our real striker target, right guys? ...Guys? Hello? 😞

I'd rather put Kurt Zouma up top than sign Slimani.

So we'll likely finish January with 0 new players, an injured striker who we heavily rely on, another striker that'll be unhappy because he wanted to leave but we didn't sell him, and a third striker that's midtable quality. Brilliant organization there, Chelsea board.

If we sign no one I hope Frank is honest and forthright with the fans when he's asked and doesn't feed us any "I'm 100% happy with the squad and we didn't need anyone" bullshit. Don't disrespect our intelligence. If nothing else, just say the club tried everything but couldn't convince clubs to sell important players in the January window.

We all may as well stop checking about any transfer news until 5 minutes before the window shuts. We ain't doing anything before then.

We've known for how long that Giroud was unhappy and wanted to leave in order to play more? We've known how long that we needed another forward? Yet we really are frantically panicking near the deadline for things that should've been resolved weeks ago.

Mertens link died within an hour basically. 😂😂😂

I'm conflicted on how Mertens would do in the PL. I wonder how effective he could be when the majority of teams we play pack everyone in their box and park the bus. He's like 5ft tall and would probably struggle against those sorts of teams.

Mertens a few years ago would've been ace. Mertens now? Ehhhh. Surely better than Bats as a stopgap until summer I guess.

You would think Giroud would want one last long contract at his age. Why go to Spuds and play for only half a season before being right back in the situation he's in now when Kane comes back? I thought he would only want to go to France or Italy where he could be the main man for a couple more years. If we brought in Cavani I'd sell him to Spuds. Doesn't bother me becasue we wouldn't be weakening ourselves while significantly improving them. Not like he was playing under Frank and it's not as though he'd be banging in 15 goals for Mourinho. He'd make them better, sure, but that's becasue someone is better than no one which is what they have now.

Anyone else find it strange that literally no other top club has gone for Bruno Fernandes if he's as good as United fans think he is? Journalists are making it sound like they're signing Iniesta. No other big club from any league are after him seriously. To me he has huge bust potential just like many of United's recent buys.

I haven't watched their recent matches but from what I'm seeing on Twitter he's apparently been their best player lately. Still, big price.

Jovic on loan with an option to buy similar to what we did with Higuain would be great. Unfortunately couldn't see Real Madrid agreeing to it after just buying him a few months ago. If he were to come here on loan and bang the goals in they'd want him back and then we're back in the same boat searching for a long term option.

All that hype a month or two ago about us potentially bringing in as many as 4 players this window. Top players as well. Nearly deadline day and we're likely to sign no one. We better have one hell of a summer window or our fans will go mad. Frank's job will actually be on the line next season unlike this one. So we damn sure better make signings that will at least let us compete for the title. Otherwise we would be hanging him out to dry.

For me it's Cavani or nobody. Don't settle for a mediocre striker just for the hell of it and then we're stuck with them. We don't need another average squad player.

Piatek is interesting. Before he moved to Milan and after the start he had once he moved there we'd have killed for him. But now he seems like he'd be a boom or bust striker if he joined us. Could he return to his best or will he be another Michy level player who we'd struggle to move on?

Jesus. Knowing how cheap Spuds are that's probably like 5x what he's currently earning.

Should've tempted Zlatan before he went back to Milan. 😄 Could've done a job for half a season.

Frank's desperate for a striker. He's hinting at it in every way possible without explicitly saying it. Likely because he dosent want to shit on Michy. I think Cavani is the one he wants (hence the repeated allusions to short term) but I think the board is saying no due to his age/wages.
