Demitri_C Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 18 hours ago, Delphinho123 said: I think people are more concerned that spending £40-£50m on Abraham isn’t good value for money considering it’s arguable whether he’s any better than Watkins. In fact, Watkins would be starting for United at the moment given the alternative is that donkey Weghorst. If we’re spending £50m on a forward player, it’s going to be on someone playing just behind Watkins or in a wide position. But then you knew that. I dont think watkins is undroppable to be honest like a lot of fans seem to imply. He is on great form now so of course he should remian in the side but all of last season and a majority of this season he hasnt been good. Im hopeful now emery is a excellent manager he will continue to get best out of ollie. For me we should be aiming for someone like tammy to compete with ollie 40m for tammy is not bad value at all in todays climate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not bad value but we also have another problem that man it's don't, we are still squad building, reading through this thread you'll see people saying we need 6/7/8 players with a complete guess of £150-200m to spend Tammy would take a quarter of that budget off straight away for a player that I'm still not convinced is a huge upgrade on Watkins, last summer we had less to spend and he would have cost more so it made even less sense Tammy to utd for £40m makes a tonne of sense to them, even if he's not a guaranteed starter theyll play in enough competitions to give him plenty of games, again made less sense for us because as we saw with Ings there was no balance to our squad and we can't keep two strikers happy right now I'd take Tammy, good player but even at that money I still don't think he's the upgrade on our team that we could achieve with say a £40m winger, CB or CM and we can't buy a £40m player in every position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Really excited to see Unai bring his own players in. Carlos coming back as well! If we can keep Martinez this summer then I really think we will be up there next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you regularly watch him play? On the basis of him playing in either of our so called wide midfield spots. I have seen him play 5 or 10 times before, It is in the data too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect us to be shopping in these leagues in the Summer. I’d be surprised if we didn’t bring in at least two players from la liga and one from the Primera Liga.

VillaChris Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Is Pulisic injured again at Chelsea? Haven't seen him involved there since the World cup. That would be someone who'd fit well into Emery's system but assume he'd go to another CL club given Chelsea were about to unload Ziyech to PSG.

Central midfielder even though a winger is probably more of a priority a world class midfielder can transform a team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
