Mhsc 1,109 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 I don't mind if we sign a Delap or a Cunha in time for club world cup as long as its not all we're doing there before PL starts Have to entertain the possibility that NJ becomes just a squad player or gets loaned/sold.

Pizy 18,996 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Cunha is a pretty strange signing for United imo unless they cash in on Fernandes. Those two operate best in the exact same role/area of the pitch in that #10 area behind a striker. He’s not a natural wide player and he’s not a forward. Playing those two together would have any top team licking their lips at how easily you’d be able to carve through them defensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunha isn't a CF. Not we need. Good player but feels for me a player who is a 'big fish in a little pond' kind of player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like a risk for sure. He looks like a striker who thrives in space and running onto through balls. Coming into our team where he’d be playing against parked buses and packed defenses could really hamper his effectiveness. Not to mention he’s pretty lightweight. The same can be said about Delap when it comes to playing style but at least Delap is a big guy who loves a physical tussle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 10,003 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Ekitike is very similar to Joao Pedro. Great technique and a far better finisher than Jackson. I would be ok with him replacing Jackson but for me… we have to go get Gyokeres or Osimhen now we have CL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,996 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Saw a stat somewhere showing Ekitike has very similar chance conversion to Jackson. And that’s in a weaker league. Apparently he misses a lot of chances and underperformed his xG for whatever that’s worth. Again, for me he’s not the striker to come in and be our main man. Not even close yet. He’s someone you have in addition to someone top tier. I see he is linked with Liverpool as well. Think he’s more suited to them where he wouldn’t have the bulk of the goal scoring burden on him.

Strike 7,540 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Murillo, Morgan Rogers, Gyokeres + Santos, Estevao joining. We'd compete in the Champions League imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,540 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 There are a lot of good players potentially moving - Eze, Mbuemo, Rogers. Hopefully the club is doing the work behind the scenes to convince the player and was only waiting to secure CL before getting active.

We'd compete in the Champions League imo People here keep mentioning Murillo. But we've just watch Colwill finally start to display some serious growth and leadership as the season has gone on. Murillo is a left footed, left sided CB so wouldn’t make any sense with Levi there. What we need is a right footed/right sided CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mário César 1,345 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 my huge doubt is about madueke I hope Chelsea offload sancho and mudryk, but about noni I have several doubts We will have neto, estevao, palmer and probably madueke. I like him but I think he is not good enough for long term and if we receive a good offer I think we need to take him and buy another player for his position departures: nkunku, felix, disasi, badi, fofana, mudryk, sancho and KDH finally, what will happen with veiga? a sales simulation with euros: nkunku - 40M felix - 25M Disasi - 10M Badi - 10M Fofana - 25M Mudryk - 25M KDH - 15M At least 150M euros that we may receive this summer We will have a lot of money to spend. Lets hope that board do it smartly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
