Come on most of the players mentioned were bought at a time when prices were still decent. And you don't factor in the age aswell. If you had to buy those players today? You'd be paying 300m for KDB, Aguero And D.Silva
Well we've already bought the long term replacements for Aguero and Silva and we paid £27m and £42m, so that must be some pretty huge inflation to increase KBD's price to £231m in the last two years.
 
Don't think you'll challenge for the title, but you have one of the strongest squads in terms of depth so top four is a must given the amount of money spent. I think Lukaku will do very well for you, his goalscoring record for Everton was exceptional.
Dont you think if we add another 20-30 goal per season attacker we could challenge? We're really not far off imo.

Yeah, it's certainly not beyond the realms of possibility. Just think there are at least two or three teams in the league who are better than you.

Again, you think its a case of just adding a 20/30 goals striker but your team doesn't play in a way that will create the 90/100 chances for that player to score those goals and thats my point here.

Your or rather, Mourinho plays negative anti football at its very worst with a 1-0 scoreline the aim.

Would you not think Jose has to be a lot more expansive with the football you play. Some of the times I watched United last season they were awful. God knows what it must be like to watch it over a full season? That display by United at the Etihad was absolutely shameful and shows the different trajectories each clubs are on.
 
A 20/30 goal attacker cannot be a 20/30 goal attacker if they have to play as a second left back like Rashford was doing for many of your games last season.
 
Griezmann is more a trequartista though not a striker . Lukaku was our first choice striker, Griezmann could be the Rooney replacement as in he drifts between 9 and 10. There was no way we would Sign Griezmann to lead the line in a league he knows nothing about. As some have said Lukaku is more a Mourinho type striker.

So if Lukaku was first choice, you were going to buy 2 £75m plus players this window?

I wont go deep into stats but he didn't do too badly at Madrid and his 2nd stint at Chelsea where goal scoring is concerned. Cant say what the future will bring but for now as we ease out of this 5 yr transition into something looking like a half decent team he gets a pass.

Lol, the bus parking I've never totally agree with and is one of the only concerns I had about us appointing him as our manager ,I agree that the game at the Etihad was poor display but from both sides tbh.

Funny that it was one of the few boring games we were involved in but one of the many dull games you were involved in.

You have replaced big noses goals with Lukaku that still leaves you 20 short of all the top 4 last season and behind Bournemouth, so you need 30 to mount a challenge, not sure where you'll find those missing goals.
 
A rag being honest, that's not going to happen, they think it's 1999 again just cos they won some trophies that no one else wanted and are shelling out money for a striker who was number 3 on the list. I had this debate last night with a couple of them, when it came to staking their own money on them finishing higher than us they wouldn't. Easy money when you find the daft ones who think they will.
I've found three!! A pound per point.

Think they counting on Pogba and Rashford getting 20 a piece [emoji23][emoji23]

Read up I've mentioned that we could try for Sanchez to plug that gap.
