Happy with the three points v Everton, but we will still have the same problems as last season without a striker.

We sign player after player, but no one to stick the ball in the bloody net !!!

We've signed a 20 goal plus wide forward. We're (hopefully) not going to sign an out and out 9 as they're proven not to work in this system.

Also and I keep stressing, despite our lack of a standout scorer we hit our third highest tally in PL history last season so while we don't have an outright specialist (yet, hopefully Sterling has changed that) we quite evidently have enough to go round.

Who's to say Broja could not develop in to a 15 to 20 goal a season forward? He also has the engine to move about.

We have Jorginho, what you talking about ?

I watched pool against city n Fulham and I saw Nunez scored 2 goals and had gazillion of chances. 

After watching the game, did I think I wish we have st like that? Nope, all I can think of is Nunez would have been another 60m flop if he play for us. 

We don't need a st because we can't play with one. 

There's no point buying a striker as we don't create any chances/service for them.

How is it we only have one recognised authentic striker, this is absurd, instead of chasing Fofana, and De jong, concentrate on bringing in a Match winner, not a has been  ‘Auba the hill’

There isnt many CF out there to be fair.

We should play Broja.

There must be someone to fill the void,I just don't trust our scouts,they ate extremely poor if you ask me.

If we are looking at spunking 85 million on a defender, we should of made an offer, L.Martinez, Lewandowski, Harry Kane, et al couldn't turn down, we need that statement Striker like Haaland, just for the fear factor

Some people need to accept the fact there is no market for STs or CFs that genuinely improve us. I doubt United will sell Ronaldo at this point and Aubameyang is just terrible, terrible business.

3rd top scorers in the league last season with a proper dud up front.

Broja will outscore Lukaku by Christmas.

 

I got derided for saying we should and could have signed Jesus. But there you go.

I refuse to believe that in the whole world, there isn't one out there. Other clubs manage to find one, we just massively overpay for sh*te.

I do agree that we should give Broja a go though.

I guess Johnathan David is one. I do agree we always tend to go for the wrong types of CF.

Broja has the qualities to be a top CF.

We have been playing a false no . 9 for decades, .

Ronaldo is there, he scored 18 goals in a dreadful United team, he's miles better than Havertz. There's literally nobody better available apart from possible Aubameyang (and his recent returns in the Prem haven't been good)

Ivan Toney, would be a good shout, his physicality is killing Utd (4-0 down haha)

Geezer at Roma looks good

He still hasn’t retired you know…

Looking at the disarray at OT and the fact that his contract is up next year, what about Rashford.

Yes he has put in a lot of sh*t performances but so have all of them. Maybe we should be looking for someone that fits into a system rather than pandering to bent fckers or just hunting after players simply because of media generated rumours.

This guy does know how to score, still has a lot of pace, could work as the main striker instead of second fiddle to CR or Cavani, etc, and possibly most important is premier league ready. This would still allow for him and Broja to compete or work together and could possibly help us to get a canny old timer as cover as well before the end of the window.

I think we need to get over this not good enough for Chelsea bollix and start finding pieces that fit a system. All of these players that are not good enough seem to leave us and start scoring for fun again.

I just think that ten Hag will have to change something soon at Utd, as it will be perceived as a cancer eating the club. I do believe that the likes of Rashford,  Sancho etc could actually blossom by getting out of there and getting a fresh start.

Interesting idea, could be worth a try.

I agree. We are definitely in a system era of football. Not much individual talent as there used to be so it's now about finding the players who will flourish in our system.

A lack of striker is holding us back. We're not far off from competing with the very best.

How I would love to have someone like Drogba or Costa leading the line.
