This guy is absolute class, if the board wants to splash the money on some attacker it needs to be on a quality player like him. he will cost at least €100-110m, and I want to see the full season from him to make sure no lingerong shite from that horrid injury last thing we need is another £90m to 110m injured bust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,097 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Jonathon David would be a good addition to the squad, but wouldn't really lift us up a level as he's not really elite (yet) but he has potential and he would go right into the team while Nkunku is out imo. But he would be good cover for NJ + Nkunku and probably he could play left/right as well given how Poch is playing those roles quite centrally and not really as wingers.

If wirtz was 50m, it would be a no brainer even after injury imo, totally worth a gamble then, but in this day and age? If he was 45m even Brighton would have thought about going for him just to flip him for profit. He will never go for less than £75m imo, unless he has a release clause ofc.

I just figured that post-COVID everyone other than the very biggest clubs and especially ones outside of the PL were hurting financially.

I have listed him a lot, he is not a top tier want of mine, but is an option, I do not dislike him, might be worth a gamble IF a fair price would rather have J David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amad_diallo 17 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 We should just make it simple for ourselves and bring back joao felix As of right now, he would walk straight in our starting lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn’t be a terrible choice but 250k pw for a rotation / backup that underwhelmed before would be a bold move. Maybe if he agreed to play on half that.

Maybe if he agreed to play on half that. Hopefully they can come to some sort of agreement, if indeed he is a target. Besides under poch I think he can be even better than last season And you're right it is a gamble but that's the nature of transfer business.

Vesper 30,175 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 The single stupidest sentence of the window: However, whether Chelsea would want to do business with Man Utd again after already losing Mason Mount to them on a permanent deal this summer remains to be seen.
