What to do at SP during the absence of games? I say:
- repetitive fifa tournament with entire staff and allowing fans to bet on it.
- long term United strategy analysis. (Ins and outs, Ole’s football, different formations with realistic dream squad, competitor analysis)
- Skyping with players and legends.
- late night live: Joe’s Apocalypse edition of late night live.
This is where you build your VERY OWN community, Paddock. Even without Man United, you still have brilliant stories, comedy and issues to discuss. Let’s prove that to the world!
Personally I think aubameyang would make more sense 1 year left on his contract played out of position at lw but still banging the goals in guaranteed 25 goals easily and a fraction of the price sounds like a no brainer to me
I could definitely see a scrap for Kane's signature , at 26 & a top finisher , basically a 30 goal a season striker for 4 or 5 seasons on the skip , and would have done so this season if not for injury and now suspension of play ; so Harry is certainly worth somewhere around 150 million. Juventus & City both make sense - with Higuain still playing so often for Juve , Aguero aging , Real's uncertainty about Jovic replacing Karim long term they could make sense also. Though I am not sure any will pay such money for Kane. For United I just do not see a fit , of course he improves us but with other positions that need sorting out , with an elite RW top of the list , another mid and likely a quality backup #9 option we can not be spending that much on Kane.
With Ighalo's form if he keeps it up , either extending his loan or short term on the cheap and with Mason another year of experience and development for next season another 9 is less a priority of late. But it remains to be seen if Odion stays and / or keeps up his form. I do think regardless we see what injuries can do which shows the need another 9 brought in ; ntm our best periods as a club in recent memory we always had 3 or 4 quality striker options at our disposal. It could argued if Odion stays , with Mason maturing and developing we might not need to invest in a 9 the next transfer window (whenever that will actually open). But Ighalo is not long term anyway and we may need to bring in another squad striker option preferably of a different ilk to our current forwards in the near future. And regardless we do not need to spend a fortune on a 9 like Kane who will come in and demand significant playing time , we need one brought in for depth , competition and rotation.
Don't get the hate for Kane guy has been top 3 strikers in the world for past few years and we don't have an out and out world class striker, saying that I don't think we'll get him and 150 million is too much for the Glazers to cough up

Van Persie was quite injury prone arsenal but when he came to United he was solid don’t write off Kane cos of a few injuries 👀

I agree, I doubt we'd splash the cash on Sancho AND Kane... Especially if we don't sell Pogba. 👍🇾🇪 @JonFosterMUFC

Rather spend 15m on Ighalo and use that 150m for that injury prone spastic elsewhere.

He is England captain? I like the idea of adding more and more captains to our team :D
he's always injured towards the end of every season, as shooting stars would say, don't want it
