Could have had Falcao too, btw.

how can you say he is a one season wonder now when he is almost leading atletico to a double? Maybe if he flops in the next 2 but now seriously?

Jackson martinez should be on that list. looks pretty good but is 27.

Italy have a woeful list of strikers at their clubs tbh usually best strikers previously were from serie a

Didn't do too much last season, been all over the place on loan previously, 25/26 years old. I'll hang on until he's done it for a couple of seasons before proclaiming him a top player tbh. Not seen much of Martinez tbh.

Germany are struggling a bit for actual strikers as well. France, besides Benzema? Even Brazil rely on Neymar as much as anyone. Argentina aren't too bad, probably got the best collection of strikers presently?

Can't stand that sort of %@#$&!s

Sign a player if you actually need him. The best statement we could send to the rest of the league is to have the best team possible and crush every team we come up against
We don't need to sign a centre forward as its the position we're best stocked in

In regards to Welbeck I think he could become a favourite of Van Gaal

Perfect example of the nonsense at United atm. A bloke being courted because he's a "superstar", not because it's what the team and (non existent) coach want or need.

'Galactico' Reds we are here

Wouldn't be so bad if he was actually a galactico.

Doesn't fit with van gaal taking over does it. Only makes any sense if Giggs is gonna get the job and van Persie will be leaving. Shite.

Under van gaal, van Persie, Hernandez and welbeck are the only strikers we need. Rooney is surplus to requirements in a 433 system because mata, kagawa and januzaj can play behind van Persie. There's only space for Rooney if van Persie leaves or he's prepared to play wide left of the striker again.

We need wide players, central midfielders and a defender or two.

Hernandez probably the most likely to go, as he's the least flexible. Can only play as the furthest forward. Rooney and Welbeck can both play across a front three. The two of them and RvP would be enough.

Spot on, we don't need a £#%&!ing striker, and if van Gaal loves developing young players a much as he's supposed to, then he can get Wilson in the squad.

Hope he brings Big Dave Corsa back. That other @#%&! wanted to let him go in the summer

Yep, we've got a few lads who could be part of the squad next season with the right coach.

Lingard would be right up Van Gaal's street

Never likely with Rooney and van Persie likely to stay. Looks like Cavani's staying at PSG:

Al-Khelaifi also played down the significance of reports claiming PSG are set to be fined and sanctioned over their failure to fully comply with all of the requirements outlined in Uefa's Financial Fair Play rules.

"I am very confident about Financial Fair Play, as we're speaking with Uefa," he explained.

"I do not confirm the sanctions against PSG, but we will be playing in the Champions League [next season].

"There may be conditions but not much. Our project continues and nobody has to stop dreaming!

"I do not think we will need a lot of players, but if we do, we will buy."

What a disgusting £#%&!ing club. :shakehead:

I thought City were the only club that hadnt accepted the sanctions.

I'm sure PSG will happily accept the fine. Hopefully that ridiculous £160m deal with Qatar Tourism gets halved or something.

"Will I stay at PSG next season? I will talk with the chairman, and with the club. If I have important things to say, I will do it in-house. I believe we will all do our best for things to go off smoothly."

Off imo. Although they'll probably just add another zero to his weekly wage.

Would be our strangest signing since Berba. Great player, totally unnecessary
