Absolutely not what is needed and if this is true would seriously question where we are going as a club.

The shambles yesterday showed where we have huge problems and it is not up front.

We are beginning to resemble Arsenal and United in not having a clue where we need to strengthen. Arsenal have had a huge whole in the centre of the park since Vieira left and Wenger has stubbornly refused to address it. United similarly after Keane and Scholes retired. United also have problems in defence but have been obsessed with signing wide players.

Mourinho identified Chelsea's weaknesses and dealt with it. We have needed pace out wide... Sterling, energy in midfield...Delph although below the class required, need a midfielder, and left back.

Kun, Nacho and Bony should be fine up fine if as anticipated we are moving to 433.

You seem to have forgotten this is a forum for opinions something you have never been shy about spouting. And mine is that we need to address other areas of the pitch. OK with you??
 
Would be an awful move. I think we are set with what we have, how many strikers to Real Madrid have? Not 4, with 3 established strikers.

As long as we don't play 442 regularly, we don't need 4 strikers.

Besides, Iheanacho will be far better than Berahino in the near future anyway, in fact I'd say he's already a better player now.
 
From what I've seen of him at 21, I'm not sure he will be better than the kids we already have who are 18 now, when they are his age, so unless we think he is the best forward option for the current team right now, I don't see the point in signing him.

But if we get him, good luck to him, I'll support him .

Not really fair that mate as what he said is actually pretty much on the money! After our chairman's bravado statement we have still not addressed the important areas that
needed sorting? Yesterday's performance at the back has caused great concern as it'll be the defence that starts our premier league season by the looks of it! Sterling looks immense but with a week to go we have gone nowhere or even backwards with the pogba deal, havent even bid on de bruyne and are exceedingly shit at left back still! Txiki we are told is the best in the business but jury still out imo.
 
I believe he can also be useful wide of a three man attack. I would buy him to replace Navas in the squad.

It's not so likely we are going to try & sort out every problem in this transfer window, I don't think. Buying defenders & def mids is boring & is a hit & miss affair. We had a go last season & the results so far are not yet convincing, same as when we tried with Nastasic & Javi Garcia & Rodwell etc. Last season was an attempt at a boring, functional transfer window. If the right bloke becomes available, we may have a go, but it's not a priority.

This one, imo, we are trying to bring in top players to inspire the team & give us a boost. Not any Tom Dick or Harry to play 10% better than Kolarov or Clichy. We are after certain particular players who are difficult to get. We've got one, & we are trying for others. If we get another one or two, then the boring functional stuff may be the top priority next window.
