VillaChris Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 If we're after two strikers then we're going to have to ship some out. We have Ayew, Gabby, Kozak, Gestede, Sinclair, Adama and Grealish all as options for the 4-3-3. Even for the championship 7 players for 3 positions is too much.

MuleAthon Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/10497726/manchester-united-to-sell-tyler-blackett-and-guillermo-varela-sky-sources Quote Tyler Blackett and Guillermo Varela are set to be sold by Manchester United after Jose Mourinho deemed them surplus to requirements at Old Trafford, according to Sky sources. Neither Blackett, a central defender, nor Varela, a full-back, are currently training with the United first-team squad, an indication that they will play no part in Mourinho's plans for the future. However, Mourinho remains keen to promote young players from the club's academy and has identified central defender Axel Tuanzebe and full-back Timothy Fosu-Mensah as stronger options to be involved in the first team. Might be pie in the sky stuff, but I could see both of these two doing well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 The wondow so far is really encouraging. Thanks Xia. We still need a striker if we are to compete for promoting. Ofcourse if we could keep Ayew, Adama, Amavi and possibly Gana and Veretout. With Okore and Grealish. We could build a good squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well these twitter things are meaningless, but I enjoyed the video. More than a touch of the Stanley Victors about him I thought. If the video is in any way representative I would enjoy him being here ! Forgotten what its like to watch the same man (or indeed anybody or any combination of men) score 20 goals !!

Fairy In Boots Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I must be the only one who think if well managed and coached properly there's a player in Scot Sinclair, I'd much rather we got rid of gabby, lescott and Bacuna first. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Anyone know how Conte likes his midfielders? Is he good at brining through youth players? If not maybe RDM and Clarke could use their connections from Chelsea to bring in Loftus Cheek, on loan with a view to buy l(this is obviously a long shot as the guy is talented and may not want to come down to championship) Him and Tshibola would be a very powerful combination as both are units and would strike fear into opposition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched that video he looks good, left foot, right foot and headed finishes, with some seriously dodgy celebrations thrown in. Good size and pace about him, could be a good addition if we are after him. He's 26 so not a kid, and looking at his record, he'd not scored prolifically prior to the last 2 seasons.

I'd ship out Gabby and Kozak and bring in Bamford and one other - maybe that guy from Bristol. I don't really want McCormack, not sure why.

nnock1984 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 So far so good in terms of incomings. Potentially a top class goal keeper and defensive midfielder as well as a proven centre back who will lead us. I'd be delighted if we got Gunter, lotus cheek and Bamford as the next three! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
