Utd's Striker shortage

Why wouldn't they sell another to Manure? What does it matter who they sell to? I saw this quoted somewhere else and called bullshit.
 
Right now they can field
De gea
Blind
Rojo
Jones
Darmian

Schwienstieger
Schniederling
Fellaini

Di Maria
Rooney
Depay

Looks a good side even without Carrick, Mata, Smalling, Herrera, Hernandez, Valencia, Young, Januzaj, Wilson
And potentially a couple more, they look a really tidy side with loads of options.

Herrera or Mata will start ahead of Fellani in the AM/10 spot and Shaw ahead of Blind i'd say.
 
Probably a bit of both.

I think spending was kept to a minimum before SAF retired. Possibly because he didn't need it to win or maybe to give his successor(s) free reign and open cheque book to rebuild.

Chelsea spent £200m 12 years ago before winning the title and that bought far more back then.

City spent almost £500m before they won the title

City came from a standing start and - it's widely accepted - have spent a lot of it poorly. You guys have added £300m to a squad who had just won the league. It actually beggars belief as most of your purchases would seem to have made sense.

Some of that will be down to inflation, of course. But I genuinely don't know what the rest is down to as I don't see you guys challenging this season, even after splashing all that cash. As you say, securing 4th is probably your aim.

Mental. Not what you've spent - although that is crazy - just how much money a club needs to spend to have a shot at the title.

It was more that they wouldnt sell another of the first team players in general. I think he mentioned Utd because of the reported interest in Muller.

Maybe they'll sell if he wants the move and Utd offer 60 mill £.
 
Their dickhead manager now backtracking and saying they're not signing a striker. 24hrs after saying they were in secret negotiations with one.
 
He said yesterday that Valencia will be RB. Just dropped in to say that and dropping out again. This thread makes me feel uneasy.
 
Years ago those "Lern Yerself Scouse" booklets included the expression, allegedly used in Liverpool at the time: "As happy as a dog with two dicks".

I remember that phrase .. still use it so I guess I'm stuck in a Liverpool Time Warp.
 
They've been splashing out a bit lately. I can see them landing another big name before the deadline.
