I prefer mbeumo over semenyo… get them both

 

[billyiddo]

I think Semanyo may have a higher ceiling but wouldn't sniff at either

Possibly
And I agree
Both would be great as they move with the ball
What I like about Mbuemo is his finishing is elite
What I like about Semenyo is his work rate at both ends

United somehow signing everybody it seems

No one will touch their cast offs either on the salaries they are on
Almost as if an inexperienced/clueless leadership team think they can buy and seek easily

Big players have big personalities, big surprise.

There are big personalities and then there are massive ego's, there is clearly a difference.

And even bigger wage demands
Between those two players it’s around a £m or more a week depending if it’s gross or net they are after

I hope we don't go for Semenyo.

We'd get so frustrated watching him as he flits between CL and Sunday league levels. Please no

Well, if someone wants them, they still will get fleeced because the manager has made it clear he's never going to play them ..

And £300k a week salaries
Chelsea paid United to take sancho back

United really has a fudging delusion aura around them.

Somehow they will get rid of all these players, somehow they will buy all these other players, somehow they will build a new stadium in this economic environment, somehow the manager who had a worse record than Derby when they went down will come good ....

fudge me ..

I think he is a good manager but there are so many issues there
Sometimes they look like a team could be made out of them but ig wouldn’t be a good one without a lot of buys

My biggest issue with them is

- Everyone, media, fans, even managers say "the players aren't good enough"
- Then, on occasion, for a few games that matter, either to save manager (OGS, ETH) or to win a cup they turn it on

That second bit is the problem, the squad needs improving but the biggest issue is motivation/commitment/playing for the badge not wage, and I don't think any manager is going to solve that.

Over the last two years i watched him closely whenever i get a chance to watch Bournemouth play.
His touch and decision-making and touch can be downright awful one minute and then spring into being prime Ousmane Dembele or Robben the next.
Hi kinks are so bad he'd frustrate us so much he'd be at risk of being of being another sc.apegoat (a la Royal). In fact, many a top 6 club would have similar reactions imo, not just us.
At Bournemouth the pressure and spotlight aren't so concentrated he kind of gets away with it.
We are just not ready for such randomness, and i mean absolute randomness not in a good way

Not gonna argue they aren’t fair calls
I like him
I think his running and work rate would really help us
I wonder how much is their style of play too
Although I’m not sure of any links so far because we dont have the man in charge

Yeah, from the eye test, i'd rather we went for Schade as a comparison

Just need a bigger sample size and he would cost a lot too (both would)
