14 goals in 52 apps is just not good enough for what we need.

Season before last he got just 2 goals in 19 apps.

We should be aiming higher for me. He's behind a well past his sell by date Memphis Depay in the Dutch set up. That's a player who wasn't good enough for United about 7 years ago.

Reportedly Bologna’s best player last season as they overachieved finishing fifth, Serie A YPOTS, five man of the match awards in 32 starts, highly rated by Italian pundits, only turned 23 last month and available at a very affordable price.

Can you point to where we might alternatively secure 20 goals a season for €40m?

I’d prefer Jose takes his own life, but taking Lindelof is still good news.

So your solution to finding a back up / rotation option to a talented yet very inexperienced and inconsistent
Rasmus Hojlund is to basically buy the Dutch version?

Two inexperienced strikers is better than one I suppose. 😂

How is he a 20 a season striker either? He's averaging a goal every 4 games at Bologna.

Id rather spend a bit more than 40m on someone I know will score goals. Toney for example. This lad is totally unproven.

I didn’t say he’s a 20 goal striker, did I? I asked where you thought we might be able to pick one up for the same kind of money Zirkzee is being touted at. (Spoiler: We can’t.)

If we want to sign four players to compete for first team berths this summer, we’re going to have to be very smart about how we spend. And that won’t include blowing twice what we’d pay for Zirkzee on Toney. We simply don’t have that kind of cash, by any and all accounts.

I think we will have plenty to spend. Worst case, the ownership can put some.dosh into the kitty.

Whoever we get needs to ultimately be happy with being a rotation option or long term backup to Hoijlund unless he has a poor spell or lengthy injury.

Would think Toney would want to go somewhere to be first choice every week 90 minutes.

Deary me.

United linked with Jonathan David now for £25m. Not seen much of him either to be honest.

Pretty average but probably worth a punt at that price
